Christmas is coming at us in a one-horse, open-top sleigh, and that means new Christmas movies are also coming down the chimney. As always, Netflix definitely has a bag full of originals to offer fans.
Don’t worry, it’s not your checklist reset this year. There will be four new Christmas movies from the streamer rolling out over the next month. The first one came out this week and is attracting all dog lovers (don’t worry, not in a destructive way). The last one will arrive in early December and will take fans through the exciting history of the time.
Here are all the new Netflix original Christmas movies coming out in 2026.
A dog’s perfect Christmas
Listen, it’s perfectly normal, and even normal, to be concerned about this movie at first glance, given that it comes from the same author of “A Dog’s Purpose” and “A Dog’s Journey,” two books and movies where the dog’s death is a major part of the story.
So let’s get this out of the way – the dog survives “The Perfect Dog Christmas”. It tells the story of a family in crisis, “where a teenager, her grandfather and her trusty basset hound struggle to keep their homes together for Christmas.”
The film is available now as the early bird hopes to catch the Christmas worm… or the bone? Take your pick.

Tyler Perry’s Christmas Gospel
On November 11th, you can catch Tyler Perry’s latest offering with the release of A Tyler Perry Christmas Carol.
In this film, “A struggling pastor inherits his family’s church in a run-down New York neighborhood, but as he battles doubt, temptation, and an evil adversary, he must rediscover his faith and the power of prayer to save his church, family, and community just in time for Christmas.”
The film stars Fantasia Barrino Taylor, Durrell “Tank” Babbs, Ricco Ross and others.
Protection of the stars
Fans of the old CW — back when it wasn’t the CW, but the WB — will likely want to tune in to “Guarding Stars” this holiday season because of the network’s royalty.
The film stars Leighton Meester, of Gossip Girl fame, as a no-nonsense bodyguard tasked with protecting the glamorous action star on vacation. This charming young star? Jared Padalecki. As they get to know and work with each other, “sparks fly, secrets are revealed, and Christmas gets more and more complicated.”
It’s Dean from “Gilmore Girls” and Blair from “Gossip Girl” who star in a Christmas romance adapted from the best-selling book. Shouldn’t I buy it anymore?
The premiere of “Guardian Stars” will be held on November 18.
in Holidaze
Rounding out Netflix’s Christmas offering this year is “In a Holidaze,” starring Maddie Ziegler, Graham Phillips, Elias Kakavas, Patton Oswalt, Jackie Sandler and more.
“After making a romantic blunder of epic proportions, a wayward thirtysomething finds himself in a holiday time loop, forced to relive the same Christmas at his family’s cabin until he discovers what really makes him happy,” reads the synopsis.
Yes, a good old fashioned time loop movie. Rarely are they anything less than fun and relaxing, and that includes love triangle which has to be sorted more than once.
You can watch “In a Holidaze” from December 2.
