The holiday season is almost here, and I don't want you to go in unprepared and unequipped. So, I have compiled this list of some cute, cheerful, and delightful movies that you can enjoy while the holiday spirit spreads all over you.
Here are the 21 Best Holiday Movies on Netflix Right Now:
1.White Christmas

2.Last Christmas
This 2019 Christmas rom-com sees some British film heavyweights in hilarious roles. Emilia Clarke plays a struggling singer who hates her job as an elf in a Christmas store.

4.The Knight Before Christmas
Christmas stories are full of prince charmings, but seldom do we come across a story that has a prince charming from the 14th century parachuted into the 21st century. Vanessa Hudgens is back in a movie where a witch transports a 14th-century knight to modern-day Ohio, where he falls for a high school science teacher who's disillusioned by love.

So she enters into an arrangement with a single man, facing the same predicament, to be each other's date for the sole purpose of saving each other from embarrassment at holiday gatherings.
