Christmas Carol
This classic festive tale, originally written by Charles Dickens, is a great family film with an important message. Watch Miser Ebenezer Scrooge as he looks back over his miserable existence, and decide how his future will change.
It’s a Wonderful Life
An oldy but a goody, this starts out as a pretty dark tale, but we promise you it’s worth the watch.
Home Alone (1 & 2)
Is there anything that says Christmas quite like Home Alone? We think not. Netflix has both one and two available to stream this festive season - and what better way to spend a wet and windy night than curled up watching the mischief unfold.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
For the goths amongst us, a musical tale about the adventures of Jack Skellington, Halloween’s beloved pumpkin king. After discovering Christmastown, everything that Jack thinks he knows is flipped on its head.
A Very Murray Christmas
A newbie from Netflix this year, this is an hour long piece featuring George Clooney. Amy Poehler, Chris Rock, Miley Cyrus and many more. Definitely worth a watch.
The Santa Clause
Divorced father Scott has a problem on his hands after accidentally killing ’Santa’ on Christmas eve. With the real deal dead, Scott has to stand in his place in order for Christmas to come off without a hitch. A good laugh and less soppy than some of the festive options out there.
Jingle All the Way
An Arnold Schwarzenegger classic, this is packed full of silly stunts, bad jokes and festive fun.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Dive into the evil world of Lemony Snickett, where three orphaned children are terrorised by the terrible Count Olaf (played by Jim Carey). Stylish and slick, we love this Christmas tale with a difference.
