Everyone has a favorite Christmas movie, and whether it's a seasonal classic or a light-hearted comedy, we often have long discussions about the subject.
If you're planning on relaxing on the couch and watching Netflix during the holidays, industry data platform Alt Index can help.
Their team of experts has revealed the highest and lowest rated Christmas movies that Netflix has to offer.
Whether you're looking for new festive favorites or wondering where your top favorites are, this complete list of Netflix Christmas movies (and their rankings) will keep you from endless scrolling (and bickering) can be stopped.
Alt Index created the rankings by measuring popularity with a unique index score generated by reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, IMDb, Metacritic, and Letterboxd.
Top rated Christmas movies on Netflix
Alt Index's rankings using Netflix's Top 25 Christmas Movies list found that festive movies like “The Holiday,” “Let It Snow,” and “The Christmas Chronicles” made it to this year's good list.
It was Klaus that topped the list with a score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes and a rating of 8.2/10 on IMDB.
The 2019 animated adventure comedy film is based on an unlikely friendship between a selfish Christmas mailman and a reclusive toymaker.
“Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey” took second place on the list, and “The Christmas Chronicles” took third place.
The Holiday, starring Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law and Jack Black, came in fourth thanks to its combination of comedy, star-studded cast and happy ending.
Meanwhile, Alien Xmas and Let It Snow finished the top five in a tie for fifth place.
Lowest rated Christmas movies on Netflix
Meanwhile, the best new Netflix original movies. Christmas. Until now! It has earned the top spot on the naughty list.
The Netflix original film, starring Brandi Norwood, Heather Graham, and Jason Biggs, tells the story of Charlotte and her husband Rob, who spend Christmas with Charlotte's ex-best friend Jackie Jennings.
Holiday Rush, about a widowed radio DJ and his four spoiled children, quickly followed.
