What Christmas movies are on Netflix UK? A full list (2019)
Staff Reporter | On 27, Nov 2019
Reading time: 11 minsWhat Christmas movies are on Netflix UK? That’s the question we always find ourselves asking, as the nights grow dark and the real world gets too cold for normal human beings. So, with only a matter of weeks to go until the big day, we present to you the full list of Christmas films available on Netflix UK in 2019.
After several years of underwhelming nutcrackers, this year’s festive catalogue is… slightly less rubbish. Netflix has a growing library of its own festive flicks, and some of them are actually (whisper it) good. Even better news, some of the previous seasonal slips, from Santa Baby 2 to the dire Holiday in Handcuffs, are nowhere in sight – although there are still no fewer than three Power Rangers Christmas specials available.
Here’s a full list of Christmas films on Netflix UK. To help sort the naughty from the nice, we’ve included links to our reviews.
