The good, the bad, and the downright festive: Deciding which new holiday movie to watch can sometimes feel completely impossible. You could stumble upon a heartwarming gem, a total tear-jerker, or the corniest film of the entire year just by scrolling through Netflix or putting on the Hallmark channel.
But what can I say? Sometimes, watching the cheesiest holiday movies is what makes this season even better. A personal holiday tradition (and to destress from the mental load of the holidays) after the kids go to bed is cozying up on the couch with a single-serve bag of popcorn and streaming a new holiday rom-com on the TV. Here, I’m sharing my top 12 new holiday movies I’m excited to watch right at home, plus all their premiere dates—best to mark these in your holiday calendar. From a Jonas Brothers holiday movie to a rom-com starring the beloved Alicia Silverstone, there are some amazing options to stream this year. So, grab your hot chocolate and turn on the fireplace to gear up for a cozy night in.
