If I liked 'Holidate' what else would I like (don't judge me)

I watched this a few days ago, and unexpectedly really enjoyed it.

Anything of a similar ilk on Netflix? Doesn't have to be Christmassey per se, but needs to be light entertainment.

I enjoyed it too! I enjoyed 12 dates of Christmas (but I think that’s on Disney plus). There’s “Christmas Inheritance” too, very cheesy. Have you watched Last Christmas?

BrieAndChilli · 03/12/2021 17:54

Last Christmas

Even cheesier are the Christmas Prince trilogy and the Princeess Switch trilogy

DentalWorries · 03/12/2021 17:55

Last Christmas
Love Hard

We’re off to see Boxing Day at the cinema tonight which I’m very excited about

Snuzzle · 03/12/2021 18:06

The Knight Before Christmas or The Princess Switch

WingBingo · 03/12/2021 18:12

Bloody love all the Christmas movies available these days.

yaldy · 03/12/2021 18:15

I watched Love Hard last night and really enjoyed it 🙂 loved Nina Dobrev in the Vampire Diaries and haven't seen her in anything since!

Also watched Castle for Christmas which is SO bad it's kinda good? I'm not sure if this is a rec though Grin

Lostinacloud · 03/12/2021 18:16

Set it up is not bad

Soubriquet · 03/12/2021 18:21

Definitely Love Hard

It was surprisingly good.

Also really cheesy but likeable A Christmas Prince

hivemindneeded · 03/12/2021 18:24

The Holiday? Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz, Jack Black.

Legally Blonde isn't Christmassy but it is very feelgood.

StormyCornishSeas · 03/12/2021 18:26

Holiday in the wild
Christmas with a view
Win an Inn - or something has the guy from holidate in it and Christina Milian in it

PrincessNutNuts · 03/12/2021 18:41

Love Hard is the best of this type I've seen for AGES.

And Last Christmas was good too.

Always Be My Maybe,

Falling Inn Love is very very VERY cheesy.

When We First Met,

Palm Springs

First Daughter,

A Castle for Christmas and GodMothered are both very sweet.

Bridget Jones is eternal.

And Married To The Mob is my favourite rom com ever.

PrincessNutNuts · 03/12/2021 18:45

I've got Single All The Way ready for my next bath. Grin

StormyCornishSeas · 03/12/2021 18:47

Falling Inn Love is very very VERY cheesy.
That's the one I was talking about

He's just not that in to you
How to lose a guy in 10 days was on Netflix recently

Castle for Christmas was dreadful, I was being judged HARD! 😄
TrashPanda · 03/12/2021 18:58

So many of these. The guy from Holidate isn't in Falling Inn Love.

The Duff
Chalet Girl
Can you keep a secret
Midnight at the Magnolia
Operation Christmas Drop
The half of it
Someone great

OhRexy · 03/12/2021 19:00

Father Christmas is back or something like that. Terrible film, watch it.
It's got Kelsey Grammar, Caroline Quentin, Liz Hurley and John Cleese in. So random.

BlueRaincoat1 · 03/12/2021 19:01

Haven't seen Holidate but Always Be My Maybe is pretty good (with bonus Keanu!)

Lostinacloud · 03/12/2021 19:02

What’s your number

notawittyname1954 · 03/12/2021 19:04

I love Home for Christmas on Netflix. It has some good music but is subtitled. Just like all the characters.

CrimbleCrumble1 · 03/12/2021 19:04

Love Hard

Crunchymum · 03/12/2021 19:21

Oh wow, thanks for all the suggestions.

I have seen Falling Inn Love (and its not the same actor from Holidate, I just checked)

Have also seen Set It Up so you are along the right lines.

Have also seen all the oldies, he's not that into You / the holiday / legally blonde etc.

Think it's going to be Love Hard tonight!!

I enjoyed that one even though I didn't think it looked at all promising
senorafridgidaire · 03/12/2021 19:22

Also enjoying Love Hard here!

senorafridgidaire · 03/12/2021 19:23

Bad Mom's Christmas is also good/bad, really enjoyed it
