this list is probably somewhat predictable, but i love love pretty much exclusively watching holiday movies in december, so i thought it was time for my personal list.

as much as i like a mildly cheesy one, i’m not super into the hallmark-y ones, i can only take so much cheese i guess! here is my current list but i do plan on adding to this as i watch and enjoy new ones (hopefully!!)

the holiday

(streaming on hulu and amazon)

i find jack black terribly annoying in this movie (so much so that he almost ruined it for me), but otherwise i love it!

the family stone

(streaming on hulu)

the coziest of all! i’ve watched it 50000000 times now.

holidate

(streaming on netflix)

definitely dirtier than most of the movies on the list, but actually sweet too and i thought their chemistry was good!

love hard

(streaming on netflix)

this one is actually funny and pretty sweet. my brother thought the musical scene was dumb, but i loved it!

something from tiffany’s

(streaming on netflix)

ok this might be my favorite new addition to the rotation!

zoey deutch is so charming and they have such good chemistry. i also love that she’s jewish because we don’t usually get to be in christmas movies!!

love actually

do i have problems with the movie? yes. but do i want to not watch it? no i’ll probably still watch it we only have so many high quality christmas romance movies !!

our little secret

(streaming on netflix)

ok this was surprisingly entertaining – was not expecting to enjoy it as much as i did lol.

round and round

(not seeing it streaming free anywhere ugh)

it’s rare we get a hanukkah romcom, especially one that’s actually pretty good!!! this is a fun groundhog day type movie and i think bryan greenberg is just so cute.

dash and lily

(streaming on netflix)

this one is a mini series that takes place on christmas – a teenage romcom series that i binged in one night and really loved. super cute!!!

while you were sleeping

(streaming on disney+)

is she a total freak? yes but i really love a young bill pullman.

happiest season

(streaming on hulu)

the first time i watched this i thought it was kind of dumb, but then i watched it again and was like you know what, i’ll take it!! haha. it’s cute enough to be on the list!

honorable mentions (aka holiday movies i like that i don’t find necessarily “cozy”)

scrooged

(streaming on hulu, prime and paramount+)

the christmas movie i watched most as a kid behind a christmas story. the best!

trading places

(streaming on prime and paramount+)

most people say coming to america is the best eddie murphy movie but i honestly think trading places is so much funnier.

why him?

(streaming on hulu and disney+)

lol my mom loved this movie and i thought it was a little stupid but i really love that my mom loves it, so it stays!!!

die hard

(streaming on hulu and tubi)

you can’t make a christmas movie list without die hard, can you?

obviously i left some out because i can’t go on forever, but i will add more movies as i watch or think of them, please let me know if there’s any that i should add!!
