It’s the holiday season, which means Christmas carols are abundant and Christmas movies are airing on television. If you love watching holiday movies but want to indulge in something that isn’t super lovey-dovey, you’ve clicked on the right article.
While there aren’t a lot of holiday movies on Netflix that don’t include any inkling of romance, I managed to find a few. Without further ado, below you will find a few Christmas films that don’t have romance in the plot.
What Christmas movies without romance are on Netflix?
1. How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Netflix
It’s implied that the Grinch (Jim Carrey) has a crush on Martha May (Christine Baranski), but nothing really comes of it so I figured it was safe to put How the Grinch Stole Christmas on this list.
2. Klaus on Netflix
At the end of Klaus, the viewer discovers that Jesper (Jason Schwartzman) eventually married Alva (Rashida Jones) and they had two kids together. However, their romance is not the focal point of the movie. The main plot deals with how Jesper’s desperation to send letters leads to the creation of the Santa Claus legend.
3. A Bad Moms Christmas on Netflix
Starring Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn, A Bad Moms Christmas is the holiday-themed sequel to the 2016 film Bad Moms. The film follows the main characters over the Christmas season as they struggle to deal with their overbearing mothers.
4. Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey on Netflix
In Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey, a downtrodden toymaker named Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker) gets a new lease on life when his granddaughter convinces him to take back an invention that was stolen from him many years prior.
5. The Christmas Chronicles on Netflix
Kurt Russell stars as Santa Claus in The Christmas Chronicles. When two kids stow away on Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve, they must help him get presents to their rightful owners after his sleigh crashes.
