Netflix’s 2025 holiday slate is already taking shape, and it’s clear the streamer is leaning into heartache, hijinks, and high-stakes family gatherings.
From Alicia Silverstone faking festive closure in A Merry Little Ex-Mas to a glittering heist behind Christmas lights in Jingle Bell Heist, this year’s lineup isn’t just about mistletoe; it’s about messy emotions wrapped in holiday cheer.
Below is a first look at the confirmed Christmas films arriving between November and December 2025, with more titles expected as Netflix completes its seasonal rollout.
NOVEMBER 12
A Merry Little Ex-Mas Brings Holiday Chaos and Second Chances to Netflix This November
A Merry Little Ex-Mas lands on Netflix on November 12, 2025, positioning itself as this year’s holiday comedy with a sharper edge. Rather than leaning on magical reunions or picture-perfect romance, the film digs into the emotional fallout of divorce, wrapped in lights, tinsel, and one very awkward Christmas reunion.
Led by Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson, A Merry Little Ex-Mas follows Kate, a recently divorced woman determined to host one last perfect family Christmas in the home she’s about to sell. But her plan unravels the moment her ex-husband, Everett, walks in with his younger, successful new girlfriend.

The film follows Sydney Price, played by Minka Kelly, as she chases a career-defining acquisition, only to collide with unexpected feelings that threaten to complicate everything she has worked for. Champagne Problems arrives on Netflix on November 19, promising a seasonal escape built on charm, competition, and the quiet vulnerability of falling in love.

My Secret Santa Netflix Trailer: Alexandra Breckenridge Leads a Holiday Transformation
Netflix has released new details and first-look images from My Secret Santa, a holiday rom-com starring Virgin River’s Alexandra Breckenridge.
Set to premiere globally on December 3, 2025, the film shifts Breckenridge from small-town nurse to full Santa disguise, prosthetics, suit, wig, and all. It’s a holiday setup built on identity, timing, and the kind of emotional sincerity her audience expects.
DECEMBER 05
“Sicilia Express” Brings Ficarra & Picone Back to Netflix with a Magical Holiday Comedy
Sicilia Express marks the highly anticipated return of Ficarra & Picone to Netflix, arriving on December 5, 2025. Best known for their sharp satire and heartfelt humor, the beloved Sicilian duo steps into a new kind of holiday chaos, blending Christmas traditions with an unexpected twist of fantasy.
Unlike their previous works rooted in everyday realism, Sicilia Express introduces a magical element that disrupts routine, family tensions, and the fragile balance between northern work life and southern roots. The series is set across five episodes, making it one of Netflix Italy’s major holiday offerings of the year.
Well, I won’t be watching anything on Netflix because I don’t want to pay to watch their channel. I am happy watching Hallmark because it is included in my plan for my television. I am so sick of so many great shows that are advertised are no longer available on the 150+ channels I already have. Money grab.
