Blogmas Day 22: Best and Worst of Holiday Streaming

You know me, I’ve been Netflixing and I’ve got takes on the good, the bad, and the ugly of Christmas on Netflix. I hope you’ve got some downtime over the next few days to enjoy time with loved ones and also time in front of the tv. In particular order…

1. At the top spot is A Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring none other than the iconic Cher Horowitz Alicia Silverstone herself. Equal parts cheesy and delightfully touching, this one has a little bit of everything and was loved not just by me, but my husband as well. Think lovers to enemies to lovers.

   

   Bottom line: 5 out of 5 tearaway tuxedos

2. Up next is Jingle Bell Heist, which was a fresh take of a Christmas tale involving well intentioned crime and honestly, a whole lot of daddy issues. Actually though, a fun little romcom with a heartwarming conclusion.

   

   Bottom line: 4 out of 5 Mooshy Foxes

3. In the third spot is Champagne Problems, a really wine and cheesy Christmas romcom that probably would’ve lost me a little had our leading couple not been so attractive. Ain’t that the truth for all Hallmark esque holiday flicks, though? Seriously though, the cast was fun and this was an easy, lighthearted watch!

   

   Bottom line: 3 out of 5 runaway puppies (and slight bonus points for lactose intolerance representation, lol)

4. Holdin’ up the caboose is My Secret Santa because it was truly so, so, so ridiculous. If outlandishly silly Christmas romcoms are your vibe, you’ll love this. Think She’s the Man, but Christmas… and far less clever writing. Sorry, not sorry.

   

   Bottom line: 1 out of 5 Santa impersonators

I find myself with a little bit of free time this week, what am I missing on other streaming services? Romcom answers only, thank you!
