Netflix is kicking off the holiday season early with its Christmas movie lineup. Last week, we got Alicia Silverstone’s “A Merry Little Ex-Mas,” and now there’s another charming romance in the form of “Champagne Problems,” this time set in the City of Love. While many debate when Christmas festivities should officially begin, I’m the type of person who would gladly watch a Hallmark-inspired flick in the middle of November, and this is one of them.
To be honest, I don’t think there’s ever been a great Christmas movie on Netflix. Much of the streaming service’s holiday content is a mash-up of countless tropes you’ve seen before, and flicks with such cheesy storylines you’d think the movie was 100% cheddar. But I can’t deny that Netflix’s holiday movies have an element of charm and enough festive magic to keep you occupied, even if it’s just background viewing.
