2. Family Switch (Netflix)

Christmas is the perfect time for good old family bonding. But wait!

Talk about unexpected miracles on Christmas.

3. Genie (Peacock)

If only the genie in a magic gold lamp was real. Well, then how about a crusty, dusty but magical jewelry box summoning a genie? Genie is a wonderful mix of laughter and miracles as a man tries to rekindle his relationship with his family with the help of a no-filter, but genuinely nice genie.

4. Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever (Disney+)

The 3rd animated installment of The Diary of a Wimpy Kid, comes with an elf that’s trying to ruin everything, a snowstorm causing a lockdown, and the struggles of a kid named Greg, as he tries to bring everything back to normal, whilst being a good boy.

5. Best Christmas, Ever! (Netflix)

It’s heart-warming, adorably funny, and full of the holiday spirit that makes it a great Christmas watch.

6. Merry Little Batman (Prime Video)

It’s Christmas and Batman’s son, Damien, definitely deserves the spotlight.

Who says kids can’t handle the bad guys?

7. The Holdovers (VOD)
