#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2025 #2: Haul Out the Holly.
Single woman returns to parents' huge house for Xmas. HOA insists she decorates the street. Instead of leaving, she falls for HOA president. Painful. Talent wasted on the script. Clearly summer. Is it a spoof? Took me 3 days to watch.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2025 #1: Champagne Problems.
Workaholic American goes to Paris; gets involved in a champagne business; falls for a Frenchman. It’s Emily in Paris + tinsel. Starts weak but side characters improve over time and I actually laughed at points. A strong start.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #13: Our Little Secret.
A disappointing end to #NetflixChristmas season. Lindsay Lohan’s bf’s sister’s bf is her ex-bf. They hide this to impress Kristin Chenoweth (wasted). LL gets stoned; everyone swaps partners. 🤷🏻♀️ Not silly enough. #BringBackHudgens2025.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #12: A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter.
Sabrina sings some OK new Christmas songs and takes part in some OK sketches with guests. But it’s charming and she’s obviously a great singer, even if it made me feel very old.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #11: Carry-On.
A cross between Die Hards 2 and 3. A TSA agent resembling Terminator 2 is blackmailed into getting a case on a plane. Starts well, but plot gets silly quickly. Worst is the belief you could have a car chase round LAX 😂. Watch Die Hard instead.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #10: Christmas as Usual.
Uncomfortable: a Norwegian woman brings her fiancé home for Christmas but somehow her family don’t know he’s Indian and they are really weird about it. Supposedly a real story, but if I were the real woman’s family, I’d be mortified.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #9: That Christmas.
An animated adventure with a stellar cast that is less than the sum of its parts. Tired jokes. Strangely features lots of current Xmas songs. But agreed that Santa’s a Scotsman. Bill Nighy wears Reddit’s favourite watch.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #8: Merry Christmas (Hindi/Tamil).
An unexpected gem. Set in Bombay, a man back in town meets a woman at a restaurant and they hit it off. Then it turns into a completely different mystery movie. Great fun, if a little long (mostly the intro credits).

A sweet Norwegian mystery story you can take part in. A boy named after a month named after a general—or maybe Christmas—makes a new friend who cheers him up. Production values far higher than usual. Def worth watching at normal speed.

If #NetflixChristmas did the Full Monty. An out-of-time dancer (first scene) goes home and saves her parents’ bar by getting local men to strip. Why are they doing this? Don’t they have jobs? 🤷🏻♀️ . But it’s fun, and knowingly silly.
