In recent years Netflix subscribers have been finding an array of original Christmas films added to their libraries, with many of them becoming some of the platform’s most popular titles.
Starting with 2017’s ‘Christmas Inheritance’, many of the films even exist in their own tinsel-covered ‘Netflix Christmas Universe’ (or NCU), with eagle-eyed viewers spotting recurring stars, locations, themes amd characters – along with numerous other fun crossovers and ‘Easter eggs’.
Sadly it seems like there are no new additions to the NCU in 2024, but there’s still plenty of original content to get you in the mood for the big day.
