All the New Netflix Christmas Movies to Stream During the 2020 Holiday Season
Read this schedule and check it twice to make sure you don't miss a thing.
The holiday season will be here before you know, and you know what that means: It's time to bust out the cozy blankets, warm up the hot cocoa, and prepare to watch as many Christmas movies as possible before the year comes to a close. Although Hallmark and Lifetime have you covered with around-the-clock holiday movies from October through December, head to Netflix for even more festive cheer. Netflix's Christmas movie lineup for 2020 isn't nearly as extensive as the other major cable networks, but it's still packed with the same level of joy, romance, and feel-good magic — let's just say that Dolly Parton plays an angel in Christmas on the Square.
From the lineup alone, we can already tell that all of the new Netflix Christmas movies are just as merry and bright as season's past. There's truly something for everyone, whether you're watching with kids (The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two), hosting a girls night in (Holidate and The Princess Switch: Switched Again), or spending quality time with your whole family (Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey and Christmas on the Square). Looks like you have a few holly, jolly months on the couch ahead of you!
Holidate
Wednesday, October 28
Sloane (played by Emma Roberts) and Jackson (played by Luke Bracey) make a pact to be each other's date for all of their holiday festivities — no romance, just fun. But as they bond over their mutual hatred for the cheesiness that comes with the holiday season, they find one thing they both love: each other.
Operation Christmas Drop
Thursday, November 5
At first, Erica Miller (played by Kat Graham) and Captain Andrew Jantz (played by Alexander Ludwig) butt heads in this holiday-heavy romantic comedy. But once she learns more about the Captain's Air Force Base, she learns there's some holiday magic behind its walls: They are the brains behind Operation Christmas Drop, where they parachute gifts to remote islands nearby.
Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey
Friday, November 13
Gather the whole family 'round for this larger-than-life musical, in which a toymaker (played by Forest Whitaker) invents a magical contraption that may change the future of Christmases — and well, everything — forever.
The Princess Switch: Switched Again
Thursday, November 19
Because two is always better than one. In the highly-anticipated sequel, Duchess Margaret (played by Vanessa Hudgens) calls on Stacy ( also, played by Hudgens) for help after she inherits the throne and deals with her own relationship woes. The catch: They have another look-a-like, Fiona (again, played by Hudgens), doing everything in her power to get in their way.
Christmas on the Square
Sunday, November 22
Nobody does Christmas like Dolly! When Regina (played by Christine Baranski) returns home with a plan to sell her late father's land to a developer, she sees the light — literally — when an angel (played by Dolly Parton) convinces her to change her mind.
The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two
Wednesday, November 25
Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell are back for round two: In the sequel, Mrs. Claus (played by Hawn) plays a more prominent role, which means we'll get to see the real-life couple make movie magic together.
Tudo Bem No Natal Que Vem / Just Another Christmas
Thursday, December 3
A terrible tumble on Christmas Eve causes Jorge to wake up one year later without any recollection of previous Christmases. It then becomes a Groundhog Day situation, where he wakes up on Christmas Eve, 365 days a year.
