The Grinch 

Based on Dr. Seuss’s classic book, “How The Grinch Stole Christmas”., The Grinch is one of the best movies to watch if you’re not feeling the Christmas spirit yet. We’ve watched this a hundred times, plus one, and we still love watching it as much as we did the first time.

 

The Princess Switch

This Netflix romantic comedy features an ordinary girl who happens to receive an invitation for a baking competition where she meets a duchess that looks exactly like her. 

Believing that they were destined to cross paths, the duchess offers her to switch places for two days, but things don’t go as expected.

Somewhere in between their switch, they fell in love with each other’s boyfriends.
