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.

Oh and the step dad ones with Mark Walberg are good/bad (good for me).

PammieDooveOrangeJoof · 03/12/2021 19:26

Plus One is funny and yes enjoyed Always be my Maybe too

BustedCanOfBiscuits · 03/12/2021 19:26

@PrincessNutNuts

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.

We have very similar tastes Princess, but I haven't watched Love Hard yet. That's my weekend viewing sorted!
CrimbleCrumble1 · 03/12/2021 19:29

Instant family is good.

PrincessNutNuts · 03/12/2021 19:34

Excellent @BustedCanOfBiscuits. Happy to be of service. Smile Any recs for me?

I have no suggestions for you. Just wanted to comment that Holidate is awesome. My DH, who hates Christmas movies, already asked me when we are going to watch it this year. It’s quite the unique entry in the Christmas catalog.

Dash and Lily (Lily and Dash?!) - it's a series but feels like a film in the cinematography. Immensely cheesy but lovely, easy feel-good watch.

I've screen-shotted that @BustedCanOfBiscuits. Thank you. Smile

I adored To All The Boys so I shall be starting Begin Again this weekend.

God knows we all need a bit of escapism at the moment.

Merry Christmas Mix Up. So awful it's good.

BigYellowHat · 03/12/2021 23:17

Last Christmas is so good 💗 Office Christmas Party isn’t like Holidate at all but is soooo funny 😂

Watapalava · 03/12/2021 23:20

Netflix “home for Christmas” is one of the best series I’ve ever watched - absolutely loved it!

It’s Scandinavian and subtitled but it’s fabulous

canary1 · 03/12/2021 23:21

Love hard is great. Last Christmas is a terrible movie!!

canary1 · 03/12/2021 23:24

Daddy’s home 1 and 2, 2 is Christmassy. Hilarious!

OneToThree · 03/12/2021 23:31

Afterlife of the party. Not Christmas but so cheesy and so good.

A California Christmas is entertaining and there’s a sequel coming this month …

I’ve just got home from seeing Boxing Day at the cinema. It is so so good! Highly recommended

I'm so out of the loop that I hadn't even heard of it. I've put it on The List and I'm off in search of a trailer now.
PrincessNutNuts · 04/12/2021 00:20

Boxing Day Trailer to save you a Google.

It looks great. I snorted at the end of this trailer at the Love Actually diss. Grin
