6 best Netflix shows (and 3 movies) to watch on Christmas Eve 2021

Outer Banks

We can’t do a what to watch list without Outer Banks, right? The series follows a group of friends on the treasure hunt of a lifetime off the coast of North Carolina. And, that’s just where the story begins.

If you still aren’t a Pogue yet, I don’t know how I can help. Watch Outer Banks on Christmas Eve. You just have to!

Outer Banks was just renewed for season 3 on Netflix.

Ozark

If you need a little darker show to watch on Netflix than the other picks, Ozark is the show for you. There are three seasons of the series on Netflix, and season 4 premieres on Netflix in less than one month.

The series follows Marty Byrde and his family after they move to the Ozarks to launder money for a drug cartel.

Ozark season 4 premieres on Jan. 21, 2022.

Love Hard

The final pick of the list is my favorite Christmas movie of 2021 so far, and that’s Love Hard. The Netflix movie stars Nina Dobrev, Jimmy O. Yang, and Darren Barnet.

Natalie (Dobrev) travels across the country to meet her new boyfriend that she met online for the holidays. When she arrives, she realizes she’s been cat-fished. She sticks around to try to find a new boyfriend, but things get complicated.

We highly recommend all nine Netflix shows and movies this holiday season!
