7 best Christmas movies on Netflix for teens
By Sabrina Reed
4. This Christmas
Make it a family affair with the modern Christmas classic, This Christmas. The Whitfields love one another, but this holiday they’ve got a few things to get off of their plates.
Quentin hasn’t been around in years, but he’s got a few frosty opinions about Ma’Dere’s friend, Joe. Lisa and Kelli can’t seem to stop arguing. Melanie has brought home yet another boyfriend and changed her major…again. Claude has a secret he hasn’t shared with the family, and Michael just wants to enjoy his Christmas if his siblings would just get along.
Led by the legendary Loretta Devine, This Christmas stars Idris Elba, Regina King, Sharon Leal, Lauren London, Columbus Short, Delroy Lindo, and Chris Brown.
5. Santa Girl
Imagine being Santa Claus’ daughter engaged to Jack Frost’s son but falling in love with a college boy you met on campus. That’s the mess Cassie Claus has gotten herself into after being granted a semester to attend college and experience the real world in Santa Girl.
While the film is certainly not a tale as old as time, it promises to be a cute take on coming-of-age in the light of a family legacy and the expectations that come with it.
Santa Girl gives new meaning to a Christmas princess in love with a boy she isn’t promised to and whose life is outside of the holiday industry.
