7 Holiday Classics On Netflix For A Cozy Night In With Hot Chocolate & "Your Person"

by Rachel Chapman

There is truly nothing better than having a cozy night in with "your person." I mean, they're your bestie for life who you wouldn't want to have a chick flick movie night without. Just imagine sipping on some hot chocolate with your BFF and your favorite blanket, snuggled up watching a holiday movie. If you're anything like me, that sounds like heaven and you're currently texting your bestie to see when she's free to make it happen. Luckily for us, finding the right movie has been made so much easier this year thanks to all the holiday movies on Netflix that we want to marathon.

Picking one is far too difficult, so I say you should have a full-on holiday movie marathon. Build yourselves a cozy oasis with every warm blanket and pillow imaginable, make lots of holiday-themed cookies and snacks, and don't forget the hot chocolate. Before you press play, you can even spice up your hot chocolate with some peppermint, cinnamon, or your favorite holiday spirits (if you're 21 and up, of course). You have everything you could ever want for a night in.

Now, all you'll have to do is choose between these seven holiday movies on Netflix, or just watch them all. It's the holidays, so spending quality time with the people you care about most is first priority. I don't know about you, but this sounds like an evening that's right off of my Christmas wish list.

01'Dr. Seuss' How The Grinch Stole Christmas'

Let's be real, we all want to visit Whoville for the holidays, right? It's the perfect Christmas town, so take a trip there by watching this gem with your bestie. It's truly a Christmas classic that will get you in the right mood. It'll also have you guys singing, "Where Are You Christmas" like Faith Hill as your hearts grow three sizes.

02'White Christmas'

Nothing can get more classic than watching White Christmas for Christmas. This musical has everything you could ever want for the holidays, including Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney serenading you with Christmas songs while dancing and wearing beautiful costumes I want to add to my winter collection. Now, I'm dreaming of a White Christmas kind of Christmas.

03'12 Dates Of Christmas'

Netflix

12 Dates Of Christmas is a great pick if you and your bestie are in the mood for a romantic comedy. Most of the flicks on this list will totally make you swoon, and this one does not disappoint. I mean, let's be real here, you simply cannot pass up getting all heart-eyed over the dreamy Mark-Paul Gosselaar — aka, Zack from Saved By The Bell.

04'The Nightmare Before Christmas'

Giphy

What's this? What's this? Oh, it's just the perfect holiday movie that we've been watching since October and will continue to watch all the way through Christmas. Sorry, not sorry.

Everyone loves Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, so it's a solid choice to include in your festive movie marathon. "Your person" will totally forgive you for singing along off tune, because she'll be belting out as well.

05'Mariah Carey's Merriest Christmas'

Netflix

Mariah Carey is basically the queen of the merry season. She gave us all our favorite Christmas song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You," and for that we will be forever grateful.

Needless to say, if you and "your person" are looking for a Christmas special to watch, you know Mariah is going to give you everything you could ever want.

06'A Christmas Prince'

Netflix

Netflix is sleighing the Christmas movie game with A Christmas Prince. Who doesn't love a romantic story about a woman falling in love with a prince? Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, we're looking at you. You and your bestie can take a moment from fantasizing about Meghan and Prince Harry's royal wedding to watch another royal love story unfold.

07'A Very Murray Christmas'

Netflix

You and "your person" can hang out with Bill Murray and all of his friends this holiday. A Very Murray Christmas on Netflix has a killer cast, which includes George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, Maya Rudolph, and Miley Cyrus. I mean, if that hasn't convinced you to get into the holiday spirit, you could very well be the Grinch.
