    Now that spooky season has concluded and Mariah Carey is fully defrosted, it's officially the holidays! While Netflix's library of classic festive films is always there for a winter rewatch, the first original films of Netflix's yuletide slate are set to arrive this November, with stars like Alicia Silverstone and Minka Kelly set to lead some adorable themed rom-coms. Below, find a roundup of every movie and show coming to Netflix for Christmas 2025 and when you can watch them.

    Netflix is starting the season with a Christmas rom-com that's a bit messier than the average happy-ever-after. Kate (Alicia Silverstone) and Everett (Oliver Hudson) are freshly divorced but still planning to spend their first Christmas apart as supportive co-parents. But plans are derailed when Everett brings around his new girlfriend (played by Jameela Jamil), and Kate hits it off with a younger man (Pierson Fodé).

But when she gets one night off to soak in the City of Lights, she meets a handsome stranger (Tom Woznickzka)...who turns out to be the heir to the family business. As the pair spend the weekend together—amid other execs competing for the company—they can't help but get closer.
