Netflix?
I usually love Hallmark Christmas movies and watch them all, but I am not in the mood for them this year. I have watched all my favorites like It's a Wonderful Life, Christmas Vacation, The Grinch, Christmas with the Kranks. I also watched A Boy Called Christmas on Netflix yesterday, and I loved it. I may have to watch that one again. This afternoon I watched Love Hard on Netflix, and it was cute.
What is everyone else watching? I don't have HBO or HBO Max or Apple TV, but I have Hulu, Netflix and Prime.

It’s not Christmas if I don’t watch The Family Stone, Fred Claus, and Love, Actually.

I thought Love Hard on Netflix was pretty cute, actually lol'd at a few parts! I started watching it thinking it was going to be crap and I settled in for a good laugh AT it, but ended up laughing WITH it. Except for the grandmother's lines--she should sue her agent and demand a rewrite.
A woman finds out she's been catfished after flying out to surprise her online boyfriend for Christmas. Kind of sweet. Zero actual surprises.
Loved the duet of "Baby It's Cold Outside" with new lyrics to make it "less rapey".

I watched A Castle For Christmas the other night - it was cute. It has Brooke shields in it - for some reason I didn’t think I liked her but she was endearing in it. And it features a cute Scottish village.

Holiday in the wild and operation Christmas drop. The second is more cutsy. Netflix
Snow on Hulu. Sappy old abc family movie. I haven’t watched in years but I used to like it.
On Prime. The spirit of Christmas is really good. I think it was a lifetime movie but pretty good and has more depth than a Hallmark movie. It’s really good.

Haven't seen it in years but loved SCROOGED back in the day. A modern retelling of Scrooge with the lead played by Bill Murray.

LOL I think the duet of Baby It's Cold Outside was my favorite part of the movie. <3 |

Thanks for that!
We bought and watched the first of these Frasier episodes last week. We're going to buy the second this week. They're our favorites of the series - which we love a lot
Season 5: Episode 9 (Perspectives on Christmas)
Season 6: Episode 10 (Merry Christmas Mrs. Moskowitz)

I read another article with the top 100 TV Episodes and Frasier was #1...from Season 1, Episode 12 was Miracle on 3rd or 4th Street.  |

A Boy Called Christmas on Netflix. This is a family movie, but dh and I both liked it and we are somewhat hard to please in this genre.

Merry Friggin' Christmas. I think it borrows a lot from Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, etc. But it's probably the last movie Robin Williams ever made and that makes it a sentimental favorite. lol

Elf!
I thought Brooke Sheilds’ movie was great. It followed the formula and was fun. That’s all I need in a Christmas movie.

I also enjoyed Love Hard, A Castle for Christmas, and Single All the Way!
I also watched Noelle (second year watching) and Married By Christmas. I enjoyed both.
I plan to watch:
Jingle Jangle
A Boy Called Christmas
A New York Christmas Wedding (for some reason, I have always loved Christmas movies set in NY)!

And it features a cute Scottish village. I watched it because I like Brooke Shields. The show was ok and her clothes were great - which really saved the movie for me, so maybe I did like it. I enjoyed Single All the Way and Love Hard. |

Our favorite new one this year was 8 Bit on HBO. Really great.
We also liked Love Affair [EDIT: it was Holiday Affair] on Prime. And oldie from the 1940's, but a great alternate to Hallmark.

No one's mentioned The Holiday yet? I love that one and I think it's on Hulu. Not Christmas themed, but takes place at Christmas time.

I bought the DVD with it and Snow 2 a few years ago when I couldn’t find it streaming anywhere. |
