Nativity! (2009)

Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square (2020)

A cold-hearted businesswoman (Christine Baranski) attempts to sell her hometown's land, but an angel (Parton) attempts to convince her of what will happen if she does. Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square has that feel of A Christmas Carol/It's a Wonderful Life with a country soundtrack.
The Holiday Calendar (2018)
Unexplainable Christmas magic is one of the greatest gifts to the subgenre, and The Holiday Calendar is one of the very best examples. Kat Graham (All Eyez on Me, Operation Christmas Drop) stars as Abby, a struggling photographer who receives an antique advent calendar from her grandfather.

Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (2020)
Look no further if you’re looking for a charming way to welcome the holiday season. Jingle Jangle has the heart of a classic Christmas story, but still feels totally fresh and unique than anything made before. It’s a musical fantasy about a jaded toy maker (Forest Whitaker) revitalized with the spirit of creation thanks to his precarious granddaughter, Journey (Madalen Mills). It’s the perfect addition to your holiday-watching favorites.
Klaus (2019)
Jesper Johansson (Jason Schwartzman) is the spoiled brat son of the Royal Postmaster General, and has been trying to flunk out of the postman academy. His disappointed father sends him to the distant town of Smeerensburg and notes that if Jesper fails to post 6,000 letters within a year, he will be cut off from his family’s fortune.
Once Jesper arrives in the snowy town, the film transforms into a beautiful origin story of Santa Claus, with J.K. Simmons as the titular Klaus. The Academy Award-nominated film is truly something to behold, and an absolute modern Christmas classic.
Let it Snow (2019)
Adapted from the book by John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracle, Let It Snow is an entangled anthology starring an ensemble cast of some of the best young actors working today.

However, when she arrives, she learns that the guy behind the app is actually his childhood friend, played by Jimmy O. Yang.
The Princess Switch (2018)
Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper is a classic novel, but it was truly lacking Vanessa Hudgens and an artisanal bakery in Chicago. A week before Christmas, a duchess switches places with a young baker who looks exactly like her.
The duo intend to see how the other side lives, but things quickly grow complicated when they each fall in love with the other’s beau. A smash hit on Netflix, The Princess Switch has inspired two sequels, including the brand new The Princess Switch 3: Romancing the Star, also thankful available on Netflix.
Single All the Way (2021)
Every single person knows the awkward questions they can receive when going home for the holidays about why they aren't seeing anyone. In Single All the Way, perpetual single guy Peter (Michael Urie) attempts to avoid that issue by convincing his best friend Nick (Philemon Chambers) to come to his home for the holidays and pretend they are in a relationship.
Rom-com fans can make a pretty good guess at what comes next, but with supporting performances from Jennifer Coolidge, Kathy Najimy and more, you know it's going to be a wonderfully crazy family visit.
Shaun the Sheep: The Flight Before Christmas (2021)
