There are loads of movies on TV over Christmas which you can check out here, but if none of those tickle your fancy and you want to watch something festive on Netflix then here are the best ones to choose from:
Home Alone
This film surely doesn't 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.

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.
