A sequel, titled A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, was released in 2018 and another one in 2019, A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby. The film was released on Netflix on November 17, 2017.
Every time someone says “Christmas magic” take a shot of whiskey eggnog.A Christmas Prince is a 2017 American Christmas romantic comedy film directed by Alex Zamm, written by Karen Schaler and Nathan Atkins and stars Rose McIver, Ben Lamb, Tom Knight, Sarah Douglas, Daniel Fathers, Alice Krige and Tahirah Sharif. Let’s hope she doesn’t screw up her life again! After meeting a local weirdo/timelord(?) at a diner, Ali is transported back to last year’s Christmas, before everything turned to shit. It tells the story of Ali, a woman not driven by ambition so much as crushing loneliness, as she is given one more chance at happiness. Back to ChristmasĪhh the workholic-is-forced-to-do-Christmas time-travel movie! This is basically The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past but with Christmas. But which one is it?! And will they get out in time to celebrate Christmas together? Just watch it. Like a Christmas bottle episode, he’s stuck in the liquor store with 5 other people on Christmas Eve. It stars Luke Grimes (yes, from Fifty Shades of Grey) as a young dude, who, in searching for his father, is mistaken for a drug dealer and is held up in a liquor store on Christmas Eve. But ultimately, like all Christmas movies, this one is really about family. But despite all that, this movie is a good pick if you are tired of Christmas movies starring fake snow and little to no booze. The Christmas/crime comedy cross-over that really didn’t need to happen. Includes such holiday themed lines as “I was wondering if you’d like to go to the Christmas Company party together?”. What is this obsession that American Christmas movies have with small towns?! Like many of the films on this list, the plot involves a yuppie spending Christmas in a small countryside town, confronting his selfishness and opening his heart to the Christmas spirit.
This is one of 5 Christmas movies starring Hailey Duff. It stars Eliza Taylor from The 100 and Jake Lacy, a supporting character in another great Christmas movie: Carol. But don’t expect anything less than hetero in this movie (or for that matter, any friggin’ movie on this list). There’s the good ole trope of the rich city girl who has it all but takes it all for granted, until…CUT TO the heiress is given an ultimatum by her father: either she goes to small town to better understand that her Dad’s multi-million dollar business is actually just two ambitious country boys working towards a dream at its core, or she loses her inheritance. Christmas InheritanceĪnother new Netflix original. You know it’s a bad movie when Netflix is judging you for watching it. This movie is one of the worst Netflix originals and I love it. What with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s recent engagement, this could not be more topical. Will they fall in love? Will he question his love for her when he discovers her true motives? You betcha. An ambitious writer sneaks into the Royal household to cover a story on the bad boy heir to the throne on the pretense of being the young Princesses’ tutor. The latest Netflix “original” is set in the fictional country of Aldovia, which I’m guessing is on the border between Genovia and the U.K given that everyone speaks with an English accent. So instead of arguing for hours, just go with a film you’ll all love to hate, courtesy of Netflix. But picking a good Christmas movie is hard. Do you go for a classic Christmas movie like White Christmas or It’s a Wonderful Life? Or maybe a film where Christmas isn’t center stage but still a key part of the narrative like Die Hard or The Royal Tenenbaums? Or you could just watch Love, Actually for the 9th consecutive year. A difficulty that my (and I would assume, most) families often encounter is picking a movie to watch. One of the luxuries of the holidays is watching movies with your family because even if you hate your family, you can all just stare at the TV set in silence.
