The time for Christmas movies is once again upon us and, like every year before this, there are a sleigh‑ful of films to choose from.

But if you’re looking specifically for a new Christmas movie, rather than an old favorite, Netflix has some options. Where the streamer had five new ones last year, this year there are only four new originals. That said, thanks to a new deal inked between Netflix and Hallmark in September, fans can also stream several Hallmark Christmas movies this year, including Haul Out the Holly and its sequel, and more. That’s a bit of a bigger hill to climb, so if you just need a starting point, here are all the new, strictly Netflix original Christmas movies you’ll find this year.

🎁 A Merry Little Ex‑Mas


“A Merry Little Ex‑Mas” was the first of Netflix’s Christmas releases this year, starring Alicia Silverstone, Oliver Hudson, Jameela Jamil, Pierson Fodé, Wilder Hudson, Emily Hall, Timothy Innes and Melissa Joan Hart. The film follows recently divorced Kate, who dreams of one last perfect family Christmas before selling her home — until her ex arrives with a younger, wildly successful new girlfriend, throwing her plans into festive chaos.

🍾 Champagne Problems


Next up is “Champagne Problems,” featuring Minka Kelly as Sydney Price, an ambitious executive at a Champagne House sent to France to secure a career‑defining deal. A charming date with Henri Cassell quickly becomes complicated when she discovers he’s the very man who runs the company she’s meant to acquire.

🎄 Jingle Bell Heist


Releasing November 26, “Jingle Bell Heist” stars Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells as two small‑time thieves with the same target: London’s most notorious department store on Christmas Eve. Forced to team up, they navigate holiday chaos, criminal mishaps, and the inevitable spark of romance — because of course, it’s a Christmas movie.

🎅 My Secret Santa


“My Secret Santa,” starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Ryan Eggold, brings a playful twist reminiscent of She’s the Man. The story follows a single mom who disguises herself as a man to land a seasonal Santa job at a luxury ski resort, only to fall for the hotel manager and risk unraveling her entire plan.

🌨️ Goodbye June


Closing out the lineup is “Goodbye June,” arriving on Christmas Eve and marking Kate Winslet’s directorial debut, with a script written by her son. Starring Dame Helen Mirren, Toni Collette, and Winslet herself, the film promises to be the emotional centerpiece of the season, telling the story of an ill but sharp‑witted mother orchestrating her final farewell.

🍪 The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2


The beloved Spanish holiday comedy returns with even more sparkle, slapstick, and heart. This time, the family is determined to host the most unforgettable Christmas celebration their town has ever seen — but everything that can go wrong does, and usually in the most spectacularly silly way possible.

The Seasonal Emotion Grid

The Hidden Strategy Behind Netflix’s 2025 Christmas Slate ✨
Netflix’s six new Christmas movies quietly reveal a shift in the platform’s holiday strategy: instead of chasing one breakout hit, the streamer is building a genre‑balanced emotional grid designed to capture every type of December viewer. Each film fills a deliberate slot — divorce‑healing nostalgia (A Merry Little Ex‑Mas), aspirational romance (Champagne Problems), chaotic adventure (Jingle Bell Heist), identity‑play comedy (My Secret Santa), prestige tearjerker (Goodbye June), and musical comfort (Snowbound Serenade). The unseen insight? Netflix isn’t just releasing movies — it’s engineering a complete emotional arc for the season, ensuring that no matter what mood someone is in, there’s a film that meets them exactly there.
