- Netflix has become a rival to Hallmark and Lifetime with its original holiday films.
- This year, five holiday films were released, with one more on the way.
- “The Merry Gentlemen” is the only one we’d call unwatchable.
When Netflix released “A Christmas Prince” in 2017, it became one of the true viral moments of the holiday season.
Seven years and two more “Christmas Prince” films later, Netflix has come to compete with holiday TV movie giants like Hallmark and Lifetime, which, as one Forbes report estimated, get at least one-third of their ad revenue from the holiday season.
So far this year, Netflix has released five Christmas films, ranging from sweet to a little forgettable. One more movie, “Carry-On,” is set to release on December 13 and seems to be following in the footsteps of Christmas action films like “Die Hard” and “Reindeer Games.”
Here’s which ones we’d recommend — and which one we think you should avoid entirely.
