Christmas with the Netflix Originals

Is it really worth your time to watch them?
What activity do you participate in to get into the Christmas spirit? Whether it is watching movies, baking cookies, or ice skating, Christmas is very amusing. Despite all that, Christmas movies will always be iconic and an easy thing to do with friends and family.
The joy and laughter this season and the movies with it bring something we wish could last a lifetime. Netflix is the perfect hotspot for fun and thrilling Christmas movies to watch cuddled up in a blanket by a crackling fire.
Netflix has 37 original Christmas movies surfacing on their platform, waiting for people to view and enjoy. It seems like more and more movies are being added each week for people to enjoy.
Netflix Originals, in general, have always been reliable, but their Christmas themes take it to a new level. With a plethora of rom-coms and comedies, viewers cannot go wrong.
Some of their more famous Christmas originals are Holidate, Klaus, and The Christmas Chronicles.
Holidate is about two random people who do not want to be forced to spend the holidays alone and be obligated to explain to their families their love life. They mutually agree to spend the holidays together as “boyfriend and girlfriend,” but when does this game end?
This movie stars Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey as the love interests. Other than these three movies, there are so many more Christmas-based stories to watch on Netflix, and it would certainly be a mistake not to browse.
The debate about whether or not Netflix Originals are cheesy is ongoing.
My personal take is that they are not, but even if they were, that is not always a negative. The cheesy appeal that comes with these movies is often comforting and easy to turn on without holding complete attention.
Sometimes, it is beneficial and relieving to know you can pop on a movie without having to give your full attention. That often is the appeal of Netflix Originals, and while some may not see that or find them boring, I love the predictability and comfort that goes with them.
If you are looking or browsing for a movie to watch during the holiday season, I recommend skimming through Netflix for a fun and bright Christmas movie.
