We’ve definitely reached a point in human history where Christmas and pop culture are inextricably intertwined, and one of the biggest reasons is that families enjoy sitting together and watching movies both leading up to and during the holidays. As such, it should come as no surprise that Netflix has made a point of making itself a prime destination for viewers who are on the lookout for a good Christmas film.

Indeed, Netflix has reached a point where they have so many Christmas movies of their own that when Decider set forth to put together its 2024 list of the 12 best Christmas movies on the streaming service, it quickly became evident that they’ve reached a point where they don’t reall need to rely on Christmas movies from other studios! Don’t worry, though: there are still a couple in the mix from outside Netflix’s own stable of holiday flicks, including the one that kicks off our list.
