Have you ever wondered if any Netflix Christmas movies are good? Well, friend I’ve got you covered because not only have I found some good ones but I’ve put together the best clean Christmas movies to watch on Netflix.
Whether you’re looking for a movie that’s funny, romantic or heartfelt, you’re sure to find something on this list. Each movie is a Netflix original and one that I would enjoy watching year after year. (I left the totally cheesy ones off of the list!)
What makes a clean movie?
As a Christ-follower it’s very important for me to fill my mind with positive things, and movies are no different.
That being said, these are all movies that I could comfortably watch with my mom sitting in the room.
They have no sex and minimal profane language. (Minimal language means less than 10 words in the entire movie and a handful of language means less than 5 words in the entire movie.)
Check the noteworthy section of each movie for details about profane language or anything else you should be aware of.
I wish perfect movies existed but sadly they don’t! Without further ado, here are the movies…
