7 Best Cheesy Christmas Movies To Stream On Netflix UK


We might not even be in December yet, but Christmas is truly around the corner. The John Lewis advert has dropped with a cute dragon that keeps destroying Christmas, you cant go into the supermarkets without seeing lines of Christmas crackers and chocolates. But really, is it even the festive season without some seriously cheesy Christmas movies?

Theres nothing highbrow or complicated about Christmas films, and thats what makes them so good instant gratification. Dodgy storylines, another retelling of how Santa delivers Christmas presents, or an I-hate-Christmas character who finds festive joy by the end of the film. You can basically tell the plot just by looking at the movie artwork, but were not here for Oscar-worthy films, just for that good old fashioned Christmas spirit.

And Netflix is the place for some of the best corny christmas flicks. With what seems like 50 originals being shot out every second, there is no shortage of Christmas films for the whole family to enjoy. And with so many options it can be a struggle to know what to dig into first. So Ive picked out some of the best cheesy films they have to offer. From the hopeless romantic, to the magical adventures, here are 7 of the best cheesy Christmas films on Netflix:

,

1. 'Rise Of The Guardians'

A magical adventure about Jack frost and all the other festive mythical creatures. They join forces to defeat nightmare-inducing evil spirit Pitch (played by Jude Law). It may be a kids' film, but theres something in there for everyone. Santa has tattoos, Hugh Jackman plays the Aussie Easter bunny, it's a lot of fun.

2. 'The Knight Before Christmas'

It literally doesnt get much cheesier than this. 2019 Netflix original sees Vanessa Hudgens taking in a time travelling knight from the 14th century (played by Poldarks Josh Whitehouse) of course. She thinks hes got amnesia after running him over in her car, and well Im sure you can guess the rest.

3. 'You Cant Fight Christmas'

This made-for-TV film has all the makings of a wonderfully corny "opposites-attract" Christmas love story. A business-minded man and his Scrooge wife are making over his family hotel and plan to do away with all its Christmas traditions. But oh wait, is that a lovely festive-obsessed designer working in the hotel who could change his thoughts on the holiday season?

4. 'The Grinch Who Stole Christmas'

This is by far one of Jim Carreys most iconic roles. Nothing quite screams Christmas like a film about someone who despises Christmas, (personally I think it's a commentary on the commodification of Christmas). With probably more adult jokes than children's ones, this classic Christmas film from the mind of Dr Seuss, is a must watch. s

5. 'The Princess Switch'

Vanessa Hudgens is really making a name for herself in the Christmas movie scene. Here in Netflixs 2018 retelling of the classic The Princess and the Pauper, a baking Vanessa and British princess version of Vanessa swap lives over the festive season.

6. 'Nativity!'

Nativity! is definitely a staple British Christmas film. Primary school teacher Paul (played by Martin Freeman) gets caught up in a little white lie when he says a Hollywood producer will be coming along to his schools nativity play.

7. 'The Holiday Calendar'

Who doesnt love a bit of a questionable magical plot in a Christmas movie? Struggling photographer (played by Vampire Diaries' Kat Graham) inherits an advent calendar from her grandfather that predicts the future. And P Diddy's son, Quincy Brown takes on the role of love interest Josh.
