The company has built up a sizable collection over the years, including their Princess Switch trilogy, the exquisitely animated Klaus, and new contemporary classic Jingle Jangle. For 2024, we’ve gotten Hot Frosty, Our Little Secret, and Meet Me Next Christmas. Click on every movie for a direct link to watch on Netflix.
