If it still hasn't hit you that it's the holidays, hunkering down with a brand-new festive movie might help. Netflix and Prime Video are Christmas champs this year, with an assortment of seasonal stories about ski resort Santas, moms gone rogue and holly jolly heists. Disney Plus (which released a new Jonas Brothers Christmas movie) gets an honorable mention, and we'd never omit Hallmark's yearly contributions.
If you're all in on romantic, wintry and red and green-coated offerings, here's a stack of fresh holiday options to sift through.
