All you need is the perfect movie to usher in the festive spirit — and thankfully, Netflix has you covered with a slew of movies, shows, games, gifts, and more this holiday season. 

There’s plenty of magic in the air with 2024’s holiday movie lineup, from the handsome snowman brought to life in Hot Frosty to the Christmas miracle that brings two lovebirds together in Meet Me Next Christmas. If you’re looking to escape the cold, well, The Merry Gentlemen will warm you right up with a sizzling all-male Christmas-themed dance show. The ire of two exes trapped together in Our Little Secret and the heart-pounding thrill of Carry-On will melt ice, too. 

When you’re ready for a break from your hectic shopping schedule, get the family together for enchanting animation that’ll ease you into the season, starting with That Christmas. Jump right into a different kind of fairy-tale adventure in Spellbound, or switch to a new speed and dance the night away with Sabrina Carpenter’s new holiday special. Capping it all off are the NFL’s two Christmas Day football games, streaming live on Netflix Dec. 25.

But that’s not all. This season has something for everyone to get their jingle on, including an exclusive holiday roller coaster in RollerCoaster Tycoon, holiday events and clothes in Knittens, good cheer in A Virgin River Christmas — even Snake.io is slithering into the holiday spirit.

Everyone knows the festive cheer doesn’t have to end when your new favorite movie does — but while you’re tuning in, make sure you have a Johnnie Walker x Squid Game tumbler in hand. Plan a cozy seasonal feast with recipes from The Official Bridgerton Cookbook, which you can serve using the elegant Bridgerton x Williams Sonoma hosting collection, before heading out to a candlelit concert with music fit for the ton. If you’re counting down the days until Christmas, your favorite characters will guide you with a Netflix Collectibles Advent Calendar. And just because the holidays are here doesn’t mean you can’t keep Stranger Season alive with a Polly Pocket x Stranger Things compact playset. 

Don’t wait until the last minute to get your gifts this year — head over to Netflix.shop to find the perfect present for every superman or click here for a curated gift guide for any pop culture obsessive.
