Netflix Festive Watch List UK | Blogmas 2018 | Day 9


As a fellow film and TV lover, I love Netflix. I am a die-hard binge watcher along with a professional re-watcher (currently on my fifth rewatch of Gilmore Girls), so Netflix and I go way back. With that being said, you can see why I love reading posts like this. I think scrolling through Netflix can sometimes be a little overwhelming and I just can't decide what to watch, so posts like this are a life saver. 

I have always wanted to make one myself and being the Christmas fairy I am, what a better time to make one than for Blogmas! So, without further ado, here is my UK Netflix festive watch list!

Christmas Wedding Planner
Romantic Comedy
Rating: ALL
'A wedding planners world is turned upside down when a handsome private investigator is hired to disrupt one of her biggest jobs.'

This is one of those on my 'to-watch' list this year and with a 98% match on my Netflix account, I have a feeling it will be a good one. I am an absolute sucker for any slightly cheesy rom-com so I am super excited to give this one a watch.


The Christmas Chronicles 
Family Comedy
Rating: PG
'Ater accidentally crashing Santas sleigh, a brother and sister pull an all-nighter to save Christmas was a savvy, straight-talking St.Nick.'

This is a Netflix own movie and I absolutely loved it! It's your classic 'saving Christmas film' and perfect for snuggling up with a hot chocolate on a Sunday afternoon. A little strange side note- the elves in this are unlike any elves I have ever seen before... but I think they're cute.


The Holiday 
Romantic Comedy
Rating: 12
'Stuck in a vicious cycle of dead-end relationships with two-timing men, Los Angeles resident Amanda and Londoner Iris decide to swap homes.'

An absolute classic during the festive period, I must have seen this film at least 6 times. It just never gets old! With some absolute gems such as Cameron Diaz and Kate Winslet, this is an absolutely fab film. If you have never seen this, I strongly suggest you give it a whirl!


Arthur Christmas
Family Comedy
Rating: U
'At Santa Clauses super-secret toy-making facility, Mr Claus entrusts his son, Arthur, to carry out an ultra-important Christmas mission'.

This is one of those 'sit down with the family' films. It's got a little something for everyone and once again, is perfect for a festive Sunday snuggle with a hot chocolate *goes and makes myself a Bournville hot chocolate -drool-*.


Holiday Joy
Romantic Comedy
Rating: PG
'After falling and bumping her head, an exhausted teen gets to experience life as part of a different family: the seemingly perfect Wellmans.'

Now this one is your classic 'Hallmark' festive film, the kind you find on the Christmas movie channel, and I love it. I am an absolute sucker for anything like this and a little coming of age festive feel-good film is everything I need on a cold winters day. 


Love Actually
 Romantic Comedy
Rating: 15
'This ensemble comedy is a charming treatise on romance, telling 10 intertwining London love stories, leading up to a climax on Christmas Eve.'

Almost everybody has seen this film before, and if you haven't seen it then you have most likely heard of it. I would argue that it is an absolute classic in the festive world. Is it really even Christmas if you're not watching 'Love Actually'? (Yes. It is. But it is still a fab film.)


So, unfortunately, that brings my festive watch list to an end. I only selected my top 6 films as I thought that was actually an achievable goal for most. That being said, the more the merrier right? Literally. 

What is your favourite festive film?

I hope you have a lovely day and I will speak tomorrow,

Netflix favourites right now.

Today I thought I would share some of the programmes and films I have been enjoying lately. Having finished school and being a little unwell lately, I have had plenty of time to enjoy Netflix and thought I would give you my current top 5.

1- Once upon a time. (currently about to start season 4)
My current no.1 has to be 'Once upon a time'. I started watching this series a little while ago with my sister, however there is only limited free time we have together meaning that (for the majority of the time) we are unable to binge watch the series - this is what usually happens on Netflix. This series is basically based on fairy-tales and the modern day world. Now I am aware it doesn't sound as if it would appeal to all, however if, it appeals to my zombie loving stepdad, then I am sure it would appeal to others who would expect otherwise.

2- Pretty Little Liars. (currently up to date)
Pretty little liars are 100% one of my favourites (as like many others I know). However, this came in at number two, mainly due to the fact that I can't binge watch (otherwise it would be a joint first). Now this programme is a 12 and is maybe not suitable for those of a younger age or those who scare easily. It's not typically a scary programme, but can be pretty creepy at times. I love it!

3- Admission. 
I believe that this film is a relatively new addition to Netflix but I may be wrong. I thought this romantic comedy was really good and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Now I know that I am pretty easy to please but I really enjoyed this movie and therefore it makes it into my current top 5.

4- Clueless
Now I heard people talking about this film for ages and somehow managed to go my entire 17 years of existence without seeing it, until the other day that is. Honestly, it was your typically 90's teen movie but I loved it none the less. Plus, I finally understood Iggy's music video.

5- Orange Is The New Black
Once again, I was late to the trend and only started watching this programme the other week. I became addicted and watched the first 2 seasons within days. However, it was when I started the third season and realised it was the most recent season, that I decided to try and slow down so it wouldn't end. 

There are still a ton of others that I have enjoyed but this will do for now. 
Happy Friday, have a lovely weekend and I shall see you next week.
