There’s nothing  better than curling up on the sofa with a nice Christmas movie.

Christmas can be such a hectic time. Between decorating, visiting relatives and buying presents, the weeks before the big event always seem to fly in.

This weekend make sure you take the time to stop and actually get into the festive spirit.

Once you have everything ticked off your to-do list put your feet up and relax in front of the fire with a nice Christmas movie.

Here is our list of the top 6 Christmas movies you can watch on Netflix this weekend.

Enjoy!

Arthur Christmas

Find out all about Santa’s lesser known son Arthur in this great Aardman animation film. Did you know that Santa’s delivery service is actually a military style operation with its very own control centre? The film actually does a really good job of explaining how Santa pulls it off each year.

Home Alone

I don’t think this film even needs any introduction. When 8-year-old Kevin’s family accidentally leaves him behind when they go on their family holiday he is left to fend for himself over Christmas. What starts out as fun soon turns into something more serious when he has to defend his home from two idiot burglars.

All I Want For Christmas

If you like The Parent Trap then you will love All I Want For Christmas. Forget Furbies or Nintendos all this little girl wants is for her parents to get back together this Christmas so she enlists the help of Santa to try and reunite them. As you can imagine it’s pretty cute.

Scrooged

A great re-telling of A Christmas Carol. Bill Murray plays Frank Cross, a programming exec who is a bit of a prick. Over the course of Christmas, he is visited by three ghosts who show him the errors of his ways.

Jingle All the Way

Every year there is one toy that every child wants. Howard Langston has promised his son a Turbo Man action figure but he has left it until Christmas Eve to actually go and buy the toy (eejit). Of course, a frantic shopping trip follows.

Happy Christmas

Anna Kendrick and Lena Dunham lead the cast of this Christmas film with a difference.  Kendrick plays Irresponsible 20-something Jenny who moves to Chicago to live with her older brother, his wife and their two-year-old son just before Christmas. Naturally, her arrival makes things very complicated.
