Meet Me Next Christmas is the holiday musical of our dreams. Featuring hit acapella group Pentatonix, the movie follows Layla (Christina Milian) as she races across New York to secure tickets to the Pentatonix concert in hopes of reuniting with James (Kofi Siriboe), the man of her dreams. She has the help of Teddy (Devale Ellis), who she met the same day as James, but the two are so focused on setting her up with James that they don’t think about the relationship in front of them. The movie is a story about taking time to recognize the people you already have. 

That Christmas

Brian Cox stars as Santa Claus in Netflix’s new animated movie, That Christmas. Based on Richard Curtis’ children’s book trilogy That Christmas and Other Stories, the movie follows multiple intertwined stories during the town of Wellington-on-Sea’s worst snowstorm. The movie is a feel-good adventure for all ages that captures the Christmas spirit.

Lindsay Lohan isn’t the only Mean Girls alum to star in a Netflix Christmas rom-com this Holiday season. Lacey Chabert stars alongside Dustin Milligan as Kathy, a widow who combats her loneliness by getting to know a snowman brought to life. The movie stays true to the cheesy nature of Holiday films while also being incredibly heartwarming.

Another musical that made the list is The Merry Gentlemen, a steamy Holiday story that follows Ashley (Britt Robertson), a former dancer who stages an all-male Christmas performance in order to save her parents’ performing arts venue, the Rhythm Room. Chad Michael Murray stars alongside Britt Robertson as Luke, a contractor who helps out at the Rhythm Room and star performer of the show. Chad Michael Murray and Britt Robertson have lots of chemistry, and the movie offers a fun and flirty take on the Christmas rom-com.
