Put the pumpkins away and dust off those cobwebs, because Halloween is over and Christmas is here (according to Netflix and their collection of Hallmark movies).
When you’re through with the usual Christmas classics like Home Alone and Elf, then you’ll probably turn your attention to the next available source of festive joy: the Hallmark channel. Thankfully, Netflix has a huge selection already starting to build up for the holiday season.
You know the drill. There’s usually a rich boy/girl who reluctantly heads back to their hometown and learns the values of love, family, and Christmas. Bonus points if there’s some sort of baking subplot.
When it comes to streaming services getting in on the Christmas action, Netflix is already ahead of the game with its collection of Hallmark movies, all of which dropped on November 1:
- A Biltmore Christmas
- A Merry Scottish Christmas
- A Heidelberg Holiday
- Christmas Island
- Christmas on Cherry Lane
- Christmas with a Kiss
- Miracle in Bethlehem, PA
- Christmas in Notting Hill
- Haul Out the Holly
- Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up
If you’re already looking to line up your festive watchlist, here’s the official synopsis for every movie in the collection:
