58 Christmas Movies You Can Stream On Netflix Now

It's the most wonderful time of the year, and it's time your Netflix queue reflected that. With the 2016 holiday season right around the corner, the best way to get ready is with a Netflix Christmas movie marathon. Specifically, one in which all you need is an account and a bit of holiday cheer. But to keep you from having to search the streaming site all day and night, this list — which isn't so much naughty, but definitely very nice — should make your next holiday marathon a slice of fruitcake.

While the selection is always changing, you'll never run out of holiday movies to watch to get you in the holiday spirit. There are animated features to make you feel like a kid on Christmas morning. There are Hallmark classics that will always have a happy ending and a lesson to go with them. There are documentaries that delve into the different aspects of the holiday, from tree sellers to fanatics to rodeo cowboys. Not every movie is going to be your favorite, but it's safe to say whatever you choose to watch will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you believe in something more than Santa.
