As the holiday season draws near, Netflix offers a selection of films to light up the Christmas spirit.
While Christmas is usually the season when celebrating with family is the norm, some people prefer to settle alone at home and binge-watch over Netflix, or perhaps you can even consider watching with the rest of the family.
Here are some of our top and latest Christmas film recommendations that you can stream on Netflix.
The Noel Diary
Starring Justin Hartley, whom fans may know from the NBC TV series This Is Us, this year's The Noel Diary is a stand out among this year's Christmas selections as The Review Geek reports that the film is a real tear-jerker.
Based on a novel by the bestselling author Richard Paul Evans, The Noel Diary tackles the agony of grief and the lingering possibility of love, contrary to the usual feel-good Christmas theme.
The story centers on Jake Turner, who is a writer dealing with the recent passing of his mother. After visiting his mother's house to deal with the aftermath, he meets a mysterious stranger named Rachel, who is in search of her biological mother. However, an uncovered journal leads to an unexpected discovery of each other's past and their connection to each other.

Falling for Christmas
If you are looking for a modern take and rom-com vibe on Christmas, then Falling for Christmas may be the film for you.
Marking the comeback of veteran star Lindsay Lohan alongside Chord Overstreet, Falling for Christmas falls into the cookie-cut plot of the traditional city girl who gets amnesia and meets a man from the countryside who changes her, according to The Guardian's review.
However, despite the cliche plot, the witty pop culture references in this rom-com may boost the holiday cheer when watching with the family as a fun pastime.
Christmas With You
This Christmas movie may have caused many to double-take over the familiar face since the film stars Aimee Garcia, prominently known from the hit series Lucifer and Dexter.
Christmas With You centers on celebrity singer Angelina, who tries to escape her career burnout in a small New York town where she unexpectedly finds inspiration and true love.
With the film's theme of music, consider watching the film as a way to find inspiration for yourself over the holiday break.
Your Christmas or Mine?
For students and young adults looking for a more relatable and funny Christmas film, consider watching Your Christmas or Mine?, which centers on star-crossed lovers Hayley and James, who unknowingly surprise each other but end up swapping trains to celebrate the holidays at the other's family.
Film Stories reports that this rom-com is brimming with festive cheer as its comedy factor may prove to be the right film to bring a warm smile to even the coldest viewer.
Christmas on Mistletoe Farm
If you are looking for a film suitable for the rest of the kids in the family, then this Netflix film may be the right one for your living room screen.
Christmas on Mistletoe Farm is a family comedy that features quirky, warm-hearted characters with a mission on Christmas. Complete with musical numbers and slapstick comedy throughout the film, kids will definitely enjoy the light yet the heart-warming theme of this potential classic.
