5 good Netflix shows to watch on Christmas Eve

As Christmas bears down on us with the full force of a holiday freight train, Netflix has some great holiday content to watch. While you and yours prepare for Christmas Day, here are the perfect shows to throw on Netflix while waiting for Santa’s sleigh.

Christmas time, for those who celebrate it, is about renewal, redemption, love, hope, and compassion. Films and specials set around the holidays focus on the intangible things that really matter. While they cannot be physically held, the things that truly matter tend to be family (given or made), friends, and the above concepts that truly capture the meaning of Christmas.

In an increasingly cynical world, there is a craving for content that remains you of the good in your fellow person. Netflix’s host of holiday offerings promises to give you just that: a reminder of the good. From reality to TV to scripted content, we have the five perfect shows to get you into that Christmas spirit.

For those of you who don’t celebrate Christmas, but like to get in on the warm and fuzzy feelings associated with the holiday, we recommend that you give these offerings a watch. It’s the darkest time of the year, and the holidays remind us to find that light.

Now prepare your hot cocoa or egg nog, sneak some of those holiday cookies, prepare the gift wrap, and make those holiday plans. It’s time to talk about the five shows that are perfect to stream on Netflix on Christmas Eve.
