Netflix just added 4 new Christmas movies—and this one you should watch first

Christmas is coming, and you can practically feel the excitement in the air. Between shopping for gifts, wrapping presents, and planning all those family gatherings, it’s easy to get caught up in the rush. But there’s also that little voice inside telling you to slow down for a minute. Perhaps grab a cozy blanket, sip something warm, and just soak in the magic of the season.

Netflix knows this better than anyone, and as the holidays approach, the streaming giant has been adding a whole collection of Christmas movies to its platform, giving subscribers the perfect way to get into the holiday spirit.

In fact, the streaming giant just added four new Christmas films to its platform today. But while all are worth checking out, there’s one that truly stands out and deserves to be at the top of your watchlist. We recommend starting with this film and working your way through the others afterward.

A Cowboy Christmas Romance is the one Christmas movie you should be watching on Netflix

If you’re looking for a Christmas movie that perfectly mixes holiday cheer with heartwarming romance and small-town charm, A Cowboy Christmas Romance is an absolute must-watch. It stars Jana Kramer (One Tree Hill) as Lexie Crenshaw, a driven real estate closer who returns to her picturesque hometown just days before Christmas to handle a major ranch deal.

But what was supposed to be a simple business task quickly turns into so much more as Lexie reconnects with her family, her roots, and finds herself falling for Coby Mason, the rugged and kind-hearted cowboy whom she's trying to convince to sell his land.

Adam Senn (Hit the Floor) takes the role of Coby. Also in the cast are Mary-Margaret Humes, Bruce Thomas, Max Ehrich, Reagan Marum, Sterling Jones, Dominique Toney, Cassie Randolph, and Lisa Lee.

Overall, A Cowboy Christmas Romance is a heartfelt romantic drama that you'll find yourself completely wrapped up in from start to finish. Once the credits start rolling on this film, you should continue the holiday movie marathon with the other three new Christmas releases Netflix just added. They are Christmas at the Chalet, The Christmas Classic, and Christmas on the Alpaca Farm.

Christmas at the Chalet stars Teri Hatcher as Lex, a former TV host who discovers that she might have to spend Christmas in a chalet alongside her son, her ex-husband, and his new girlfriend. To keep some distance from the awkward family drama, she takes a job at the chalet and shares her experience with her growing online following. And along the way, she forms an unexpected connection with Eric, the chalet owner.

The Christmas Classic stars Malin Åkerman as Elizabeth Bird, a real estate agent who returns to her hometown during the holidays to persuade her ex-boyfriend to sell his family’s ski resort. However, she finds herself competing in the town’s outrageous annual Christmas Classic and rediscovering love along the way.

Christmas on the Alpaca Farm follows Jess (Kirsten Comerford), a big-city fashion designer who quits her job at a top New York City fashion label to enter a competition where the winner receives a cash prize to create their own sustainable holiday fashion line. This leads her to a snowy alpaca farm where she teams up with the farm’s charming owner, Andrew, and as they work together to prepare for the competition, an unexpected romance blossoms.

All four of these exciting Christmas films are now available to stream on Netflix.
