The Best (Cheesy) Holiday Movies to Watch While You’re Engaged

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and that means it’s time to watch those fantastic, cheesy holiday movies! Move over Hallmark; Our Netflix queue is stacked, and we’ve got 5 movies you HAVE to add to your watchlist for this season.

Christmas Prince:

There’s no better way to start off our list than with this trilogy. A journalist sneaks into the castle for a scoop and pretends to be the young princess’s tutor. Naturally, she falls in love with the handsome prince. The second and third movies follow the couple through their big life milestones. It’s peak cheesy holiday film fodder! You’ll find this absolute gem on Netflix.

Holiday Calendar:

This one has the delicious magical twist you want in these movies. Girl inherits antique advent calendar (?!?). Antique advent calendar seems to predict the future and leads her towards love. How can you beat that?

Operation Christmas Drop:

This one will get you inspired for your beach honeymoon! Set on a tropical island and full of your classic drama between the romantic leads. Will they or won’t they?! (We have a feeling that they will). 

Single All the Way:

Oh, the pressure to have a partner during the holidays. To avoid the judgement of being single from his family, Peter brings his best friend home to pose as his boyfriend for the season. Surely this will be a simple arrangement and nobody will fall in love with each other! 

Falling for Christmas:

Okay, okay. This is the Lindsay Lohan one. You knew this was coming. You’ve got a newly-engaged heiress who gets into a skiing accident and forgets her identity. She’s nursed back to health by the handsome cabin owner (who we know and love from Glee). I know what you’re thinking. Is it cinematic gold? YES. This is the season for leaning into cheesy, sparkly joy!

Let us know if you watch any of our picks! What would you add to the list?
