It's the most wonderful—and, arguably, wholesome—time of the year. But it's also, apparently, the most horniest time, at least if this year's christmas movies are anything to go by.
First, Netflix dropped The Merry Gentlemen, starring Noughties teen pin-up Chad Michael Murray, which transports us to the world of a struggling small-town music venue that needs to be saved by way of an all-male, Christmas-themed revue. Cue the topless men in fireman hats gyrating to save the venue. Magic Mike with a splash Christmas cheer!

And there's Hot Frosty, the story of lonely widow Kathy (played by Mean Girls' Lacey Chabert) who finds comfort in a handsome (again, initially topless) male stranger, who turns out to be a snowman brought to life. Just like in The Merry Gentlemen, there's suggestion of a romantic storyline between the two leads, as Jack (credited as Jack Snowman on IMDB and played by Schitt's Creek star Dustin Milligan) helps Kathy to find love and connection again after the loss of her husband. As far as Christmas movies go, the premise is traditionally feel-good (if a little silly given he's a snowman) but it's also overwhelmingly horny particularly when we see Milligan's Snowman run around town with his rippling abs and guns on show.
Hot Frosty was particularly popular with audiences this year, sitting for a week at the number one movie position on Netflix, suggesting that we are in fact hot for these kind of stories.
