Market Data 
- Netflix has become a rival to Hallmark and Lifetime with its original holiday films.
- This year, six holiday films have been released.
- “The Merry Gentlemen” is the only one we’d call unwatchable.
When Netflix released “A Christmas Prince” in 2017, it became one of the true viral moments of the holiday season.
Seven years and two more “Christmas Prince” films later, Netflix has come to compete with holiday TV movie giants such as Hallmark and Lifetime, which are estimated to get at least one-third of their ad revenue from the holiday season.
So far this year, Netflix has released six new Christmas films — “Hot Frosty,” “Meet Me Next Christmas,” “Our Little Secret,” “That Christmas,” and “Carry-On” — ranging from sweet to a little forgettable.
Here are the movies ranked from worst to best … and which one we think you should avoid entirely.
