#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2025 #1: Champagne Problems. Workaholic American goes to Paris; gets involved in a champagne business; falls for a Frenchman. It’s Emily in Paris + tinsel. Starts weak but side characters improve over time and I actually laughed at points. A strong start. 🇫🇷🥂🇩🇪🚄📚/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2025 #1: Champagne Problems. I've already forgotten the plot of this one. Although I do remember the montage of moments from earlier in the film about 2/3 of the way in - the sign of a true blockbuster. 🍾🥱😴😴😴/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2025 #1: Champagne Problems. Idk why but this reminded me of Emily in Paris even though main girl is competent at her job. Maybe it's because of the scenes where French people talk to each other in French. Anyway I liked it, nice Christmassy escapism. 🇫🇷🍾🥂🌲🎄❄️/5

Me, @pecnut.bsky.social and @aaclarke4.bsky.social are once again watching and reviewing a ton of #NetflixChristmas films this year. Check out docs.google.com/spreadsheets... if you want to play along.

Me: Hello ticket machine. Two return tickets from Peterborough to Manchester please. Ticket machine: printing 1 of 12

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #999: Merry Christmas (Hindi) Starts almost as a romance (woman meets man, takes him back to her place), turns into Hitchcockian thriller when she finds her husband's dead body... then it disappears, then reappears again?? Great film, will leave you guessing. 😵😵😵😵😵/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #49: Hot Frosty. Romance didn't work for me, FMC was too maternal towards her supposed love interest, snowman was funny but too stupid to be a plausible. Best bit wwas Doug Judy and Boyle from Brooklyn 99, whole thing should have just been them. ☃️☃️☃️☃️💧/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #6: Twas the Text Before Christmas. Inspired by that Thanksgiving story, a wrong number text leads to a lonely woman spending Christmas with a strange family. This is a genuinely lovely film, the wholesome family dynamics work, the love story is well earned. 🌲🍷❄️☃️🥧/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #5: Meet Me Next Christmas. girl has meet cute, then a FAKE meet cute. Her quest to track down fake cute leads to her falling in love with the friend she made along the way. There's also a Pentatonix sub-plot, reminiscent of the McFly subplot in Just My Luck. Fun.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #4: The Snow Sister (Snøsøsteren). Very sad. Looked like a kids film, but would have upset me way too much if I'd watched it as a child. A good film, but didn't make me feel very Christmassy. ❄️😭⛄😭👻/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #4: The Snow Sister. Incredibly sad Norwegian film about a bereaved child making a new friend, who has some secrets. Worth a watch but bear in mind it really is sad 😢 😢 😢 😭 😢/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #3: The Merry Gentlemen. Girl is fired from show, goes to small town, parents' bar needs money so starts show with topless men, saves Christmas, falls in love, decides to not go back to New York. 2 cameos of other Netflix xmas films. Not amazing, not awful. 💰🕺💰🕺💰/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #3: The Merry Gentlemen. If #NetflixChristmas did the Full Monty. An out-of-time dancer (first scene) goes home and saves her parents’ bar by getting local men to strip. Why are they doing this? Don’t they have jobs? 🤷🏻‍♀️ . But it’s fun, and knowingly silly. 💃🏻👯‍♂️👷🏼‍♂️💸💪/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #3: The Merry Gentleman. Fake Rockette loses her job, leaves NYC for her small hometown only to find her parents haven't paid the rent on their fake Rainbow Room. To save the day she organises local men to do fake Magic Mike. Fun to watch💃🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽🕺🏽/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #2: Fall into Winter Punny title wasted. Small town chocolate maker needs an investor. He arrives from NY, improves sales, is kind; they fall in love before Winterfest, an important January holiday. No jeopardy, no B plot, no real hair colours. Pleasant. 🍫🫘💵❄️👩🏼‍🍳/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #2: Fall Into Winter. Hard to concentrate on the plot due to the musak playing in every single scene that is too loud and often doesn't fit with with what's going on. One of the worst films we've watched in the 7 years we've been doing this. 🍫🎵👎👎🎵/5

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #2: 'Fall into Winter' sweet shop woman attempts enemies to lovers with man she has no chemistry with to a soundtrack of public domain musak. The kiss at the end (spoilers) is weirdly cut, b couple are cuter and more compelling

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #1: Best. Christmas. Ever. A couple visit old friends whose round-robin suggests they have a perfect life. Turns out they do. Level of self-awareness varies wildly. Tonally all over the place. Polystyrene snowmen. Some good jokes. "Santa believes in us". 🎈💌🏠🚙⛄️/5.

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #1: Best. Christmas. Ever! Has chess scene where main character claims "check" but it's clearly not check, but the "checkmate" on the next move looks valid. Rest of film is quite boring. Best bit is Princess Switch playing on TV in background of one scene. 🌨️♟️🎅🛷🪦/5

With apologies to all, every year @mscroggs.co.uk @aaclarke4.bsky.social and I post reviews on here of the latest #NetflixChristmas films 🎄🍿. This year is no exception; there is no escape. Here's the list, should you want to join in: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

#NetflixChristmas Reviews 2024 #1 Best. Christmas. Ever! Mostly enjoyable. I appreciated the two leads were women in STEM. Are those round robins still being sent? Is the real meaning of Christmas the friends we made along the way? 🌲✨🎄🧪🎈/5

My friend gave me a sourdough starter recently. This is the second boule I've made with it. Still have no idea what I'm doing but it's better than the first one! And I have some ideas for what to do differently next time.

Hello :)
