The holidays wouldn't be complete without gathering your loved ones for a Christmas movie marathon. Numerous fresh holiday movies are streaming right now, and our top five picks for this year are listed below.
1. Falling for Christmas
Falling for Christmas, a new holiday film from Netflix stars Lindsay Lohan as a spoiled hotel heiress who suffers complete amnesia following a skiing accident. Chord Overstreet, who is best known for his role as Sam Evans on the Fox television series Glee, plays a kind lodge owner who looks out for her. The heiress is already married to a wealthy suitor, but she starts to fall for her charming caregiver over the holidays. It has the makings of a Hallmark film rather than the conventional "Rich Girl Meets Poor Boy" story. It has some cheesy elements but is also funny and clever. If you're seeking a lightweight watch, it is the best.

2. The Noel Diary
The movie's protagonist is played by Justin Hartley, an actor well-known for his role in This is Us. The film tells the story of a man who spends Christmas at his childhood home after a 20-year absence is told in the film. But it's not all fun and games because he has to settle his mother's estate with her, with whom he has a strained relationship. While organizing his dead mother's filthy home, Hartley seeks to reconcile with difficult childhood memories by reopening old wounds. It's not a cheerful, upbeat holiday movie, but if you want something deeply moving, this is a terrific option.

3. Your Christmas or Mine?
The film, which stars Sex Education's Asa Butterfield and Cora Kirk as a young couple, is not your standard holiday romance. It is jam-packed with comedic blunders. No one anticipates that the pair, who had planned to spend Christmas apart, will ultimately decide to arrive unexpectedly and switch Christmases. They cannot alter their decision even if it has snowed the most in recent years. They learn more about one another's families and social circles and realize that their initial impressions of one another were inaccurate. Their chances of staying together over the holidays seem slim. Your list of Christmas movies to watch should include it!
