Every Holiday Movie Coming to Netflix in 2025
'A Merry Little Ex-Mas'
Release date: November 12
Netflix is starting the season with a Christmas rom-com that's a bit messier than the average happy-ever-after. Kate (Alicia Silverstone) and Everett (Oliver Hudson) are freshly divorced but still planning to spend their first Christmas apart as supportive co-parents. But plans are derailed when Everett brings around his new girlfriend (played by Jameela Jamil), and Kate hits it off with a younger man (Pierson Fodé).
'Champagne Problems'
Release date: November 19
A new Christmas season means a new dose of "career woman unexpectedly finds love" romance. Sydney Price (Minka Kelly) is a business exec headed to France on a mission to acquire a major champagne house. But when she gets one night off to soak in the City of Lights, she meets a handsome stranger (Tom Woznickzka)...who turns out to be the heir to the family business. As the pair spend the weekend together—amid other execs competing for the company—they can't help but get closer.
'Jingle Bell Heist'
Release date: November 26
This heist comedy will be a definite must-watch for anyone wishing to get even with a major Scrooge.

But as their scammer team-up becomes something more, will they still be able to pull it off?
'My Secret Santa'
Release date: December 3
Calling all Virgin River fans—Alexandra Breckenridge is leading this sweet winter romance. Taylor is a single mom who's determined to send her daughter to a luxury resort's snowboarding camp, which she can't afford. The solution?

This gender-bending plan gets even more complicated as she starts to fall for her handsome new boss (played by Ryan Eggold).

Back in 2022, Man vs. Bee introduced Netflix viewers to Trevor Bingley (Rowan Atkinson), a bumbling dad whose house-sitting gig turns disastrous thanks to an evasive bee.

Add in the unexpected stress of babysitting an infant, and the cozy holiday turns into chaos.
