One of Netflix’s best-animated movies of all time is also a Christmas movie. We’re, of course, referring to Klaus and hoping to take the mantle of best Christmas animated movie on Netflix this year by That Christmas, coming from British studio Locksmith Animation based in London.

Based on Richard Curtis’s series of children’s books, Simon Otto, best known for his work on How to Train Your Dragon for DreamWorks Animation, will bring the movie to life. Described as a heartwarming comedy by Netflix, here’s what you can expect, “That Christmas follows a series of entwined tales about family and friends, love and loneliness, and Santa Claus making a big mistake, not to mention an enormous number of turkeys!”

A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter

Coming to Netflix on December 6th at 9pm ET / 6pm PT

South Africa has produced a couple of Christmas titles thus far (How to Ruin Christmas, Yoh! Christmas), and joining that roster in 2024 is a new movie from director Rethabile Ramaphakela and Burnt Onion Productions. It’s about a career-driven workaholic who sets out to prove he is a perfect father and husband by taking his dysfunctional family on an impromptu holiday.

Carry-On

Coming to Netflix on December 13th

On the face of it, this new action thriller starring Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, and Jason Bateman isn’t really a Christmas movie when compared to some of the others on the list. That said, given the airport looks to be caked in Christmas decorations and that the movie is set around the time of the holidays, we had to include it. For those unfamiliar, the big new movie is about a TSA agent who fights to outsmart a mysterious traveler who has blackmailed him into letting a package slip onto a Christmas Eve flight.

Michelle Buteau: A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall
