  • Welcome back everyone. Matthew here with Cinegold and it's that time of year again.

  • Time to take a look at the Top 7 Christmas movies on Netflix right now.

  • But before we do that, real quick, I'm gonna run you through all 4 of the new Christmas movies releasing for the first time in 2023.

  • The first movie, which was released back on November 8th, is The Claus Family 3.

  • This is the third in the series of Dutch-Belgian movies which follows the life of Santa Claus and his grandchildren who help him out on Christmas Day

  • Then there's Best. Christmas. Ever!, which has just been released and is a romantic comedy which shows a friendship put to the test during the holiday season.

  • Next, releasing on November 30th is The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, which is a holiday spin-off of the animated movie which follows the outlaw animals as they try to pull off a Christmas heist.

  • And last, releasing on December 6th is Christmas as Usual, which is a Norwegian romantic comedy about a newly engaged couple having a bit of a tradition clash when it comes to spending the holidays with family.

  • Alright, that's all of the new releases, now let's jump into the top 7.

  • X felt something he'd never felt before.

  • Something he didn't even have a word for.

  • But we do... It was love.

  • Number 7 is Alien Xmas.

  • This is more of a short film, clocking in at 42 minutes and follows an alien named X, who is sent to the North Pole in a mission to steal Earth's gravity.  

  • But will the giving spirit of Christmas findhaving a change of heart?

  • Alien Xmas is pretty much what it looks like: a cute, stop motion animation that brings the good Christmas vibes.  

  • It's probably not one of those masterpieces that even our grandchildren will be watchingbut it can be counted on to get the Christmas spirit going.

  • A short Christmas tale withlittle sci-fi twist, it's definitely a solid one to throw on when the kids are home.

  • Tis the season to be jollyFa-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

  • Number 6 is Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.

  • This animated film follows our man Ebeneezer Scrooge on his Christmas Eve journey through time past and future.

  • Scrooge is another adaptation of the classic Dickens tale and adds some song and dance turning the well-known story into a Christmas musical.

  • Is Scrooge: A Christmas Carol the best adaptation of the classic novel? Of course not.

  • I'll leave it up to you to decide your favorite of the countless versions.

  • But it is the only version on Netflix as of this recording and what would the holiday season be without at least one rendition of this holiday staple.

  • Who is it?

  • It's the Mormons.

  • For the last time! We're not converting!

  • Number 5. Love Hard.

  • This movie follows a young woman who flies long distance over the holidays in order to meet a man she has been talking to on a dating app.

  • But unfortunately when she arrivesshe realizes she has been catfished and the man she has been talking to is not the man in the photos.

  • But things start to get interesting when she spots the real guy from the photos.

  • Love Hard isholiday romcom that's a lighthearted little movie that'll help rev up your holiday spirit.

  • It offers some laughs on top of a charming cast; overall, it's a decent addition to Netflix's Christmas movie list.

  • He's a human. Will he eat us?

  • Where am I? There's nothing here.

  • To see something...

  • You must believe in it... really believe.

  • Number 4. A Boy Called Christmas.

  • A young boy named Nikolas sets out to find his father who had ventured out into the Great North in search of the legendary elf city called Elfheim.

  • Based on the bestselling book of the same name, A Boy Called Christmas is a Santa Claus origin story and the perfect choice to get you back  into the holiday mood.

  • Nikolas' epic adventure into the frozen Arctic is full of magic and fantastical settings, and A Boy Called Christmas has enough holiday spirit and good joy to keep you feeling nice and toasty this Christmas season.

  • Mr. Klaus. You have a gift.

  • You were meant for making toys.

  • Number 1. Klaus.

  • A postman and a reclusive toymaker team up to bring happiness and good cheer back to the Arctic town of Smeerensburg

  • Klaus is by far the best Christmas movie on all of Netflix.

  • A couple generations down the road when Netflix is long gone and the grandchildren are looking for a Christmas classic to throw on, Klaus is likely to be the only Netflix Christmas movie still around

  • With its gorgeous hand-drawn animationtimeless themes and hilarious script, Klaus is truly a modern Christmas classic.
