Love Actually
Love Actually has become one of the most romantic movies of all time and it is also the perfect story to watch at Christmas. It is a romantic comedy where different stories intertwine and all the characters are related through funny, naive but also sad aspects.
Netflix has become our great ally because each year they include, among their categories, one dedicated to Christmas movies.

Another of the highlights of this movie is its great music created by Dolly Parton which goes straight to the hearts of the viewers.
Holidate
Holidate is another of the great Christmas premieres of 2020. Unlike other films, this one focuses on two single characters who are tired of spending the celebrations without any companion. As a result of this, the film narrates how two people meet to share only the most important dates and between them, Christmas.
