1) Klaus
It has been over a year since this masterpiece released on Netflix. A critically acclaimed Netflix original, this movie portrays the origin story of Santa Clause when an unworthy postman befriends a toymaker to bring happiness to a cold, dark town in the North.
So, if you are looking to witness something unique yet heartfelt, I would suggest you watch this movie on Netflix right now. I am sure you won’t be disappointed.
If you have missed this Christmas classic in your childhood, now is the time to watch it. This 2004 animated film takes you on a roller coaster ride on a magical train named “The Polar Express”. You see the perspective of a young boy (voiced by Tom Hanks) experience an extraordinary journey to the North Pole to meet Santa.

If you are a fan of light-hearted rom-com movies set at the time of Christmas, then this film would be a treat for you. Well, of course, it is the same old story of two people in love getting to be with each other at the end of the movie. However, there is a unique twist in the story when a simple baker from the USA switches place with, yeah you guessed it, a princess from the UK.
Based on the 1996 Christmas short “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, this movie brings back the Grinch and his super-loyal dog to spoil Christmas for the fictional town of Whoville.
Recently released on Netflix, this film is for those who like musicals and fantasy films. The movie takes you on a magical journey of a toymaker and his granddaughter to bring back their greatest invention, which is a magical toy-robot named Buddy.
Bonus – Kung Fu Panda Holiday
This 26-min short film is for those Kung Fu Panda fanatics like myself who just love watching Po mess up and fix things using his own style of Kung Fu. This short film came way back in 2010 and is set right after the first film of the series.
