Introducing… The 12 Days of Netflix (again)
David Farnor | On 22, Dec 2020
If you’ve looked at the Netflix Christmas movie line-up in the UK, you’re probably still waiting for Santa Claus to come to town. Because, let’s face it, it’s hardly a selection box of seasonal classics.
There’s Nativity! and Arthur Christmas and… well, that’s pretty much where the good tidings end: otherwise, your streaming socking is full of no fewer than three festive Power Rangers specials.
In 2017, though, Netflix stepped in to change all that – not by adding Die Hard, but by making its own original Christmas movies, including A Christmas Prince, Christmas Inheritance and El Camino Christmas. In 2018, that continued with the pleasant surprise that was The Christmas Chronicles (feat. Kurt Russell as Santa Claus) and the inevitable sequel A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding. Last year, it went even further, with Holiday Rush, Klaus, The Knight Before Christmas and – yes – A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby.
2020 holds such delights as Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey and Operation Christmas Drop.
It’s not in the spirit of this period of good cheer to dismiss Netflix’s efforts, or the rest of its brightly coloured collection. So, to spare you the pain of cinematic sludge this December, we’re watching Netflix’s Christmas films for you. Yes, our 12 Days of Netflix is back once again.
We’ll be counting down to Christmas by unwrapping one of Netflix’s more dubious festive flicks every day to sort out the naughty from the nice.
Our celebration of all things potentially terrible begins with Operation Christmas Drop, with more added below every day. See below to read our reviews – or follow the hashtag #12DaysofNetflix to keep up-to-date with the world’s most painful Advent Calendar.
