Get into the Christmas spirit by streaming one of these great yuletide movies on Netflix.

If you aren’t already caught up in the spirit of Christmas and need a little help in the form of a Netflix binge then we might have just the thing for you.

For some a big part of the holiday is relaxing with loved ones while a classic movie or cheesy TV special is on, we have had a quick browse through the titles available on Netflix and chosen five of the best Christmas movies.

ELF

The story of Buddy (Will Ferrell) a human who is raised by Santa’s Elves, Elf is a feel good movie that isn’t going to make you think too much but it does convey the thrill of Christmas for those who believe in the magic.

FOUR CHRISTMASES

If chaotic Christmases with annoying relatives aren’t something that will immediately kill your Christmas spirit then you may enjoy Four Christmases, the story of a yuletide gone terribly wrong.

THE HOLIDAY

For the more romantically inclined, the Holiday, is a quirky romantic comedy set over the Christmas season. The Holiday chronicles the lives of two women who switch houses over the festive season. Iris (Kate Winslet) swaps England for California while Amanda (Cameron Diaz) slides out of her mansion and into a cottage.

POLAR EXPRESS

Few movies will get those bah-humbugs out of you quicker than the magical animated adventure Polar Express. A doubting boy journey’s to the North Pole teaches him that the wonder of life never fades for those who believe.

THE NIGHT BEFORE

This is a Christmas movie made by Seth Rogen, that should serve as both a warning and something of an explainer. Three best friends decide to end their tradition of wild Christmas Eve parties with one final blowout.
