It's that time of year where Hallmark, and tv channels like it, like to suck is in with festive themed movies with mediocre plots , writing and acting that we secretly know are too cheesy to handle. Yet something about Christmas time makes us a little more tolerant of low budget films starring people you have probably never heard of. Here are the top three of my newly discovered , ultra cheesy favorites that can be watched on Netflix.

1.) The Spirit of Christmas

By far the best of the three, this movie has it all, romance, mystery, a really hot guy who may or may not be cursed but is definitely a ghost. There's just so much to love in this movie, but I wouldn't recommend watching it if you don't handle jump scares well.

2.) A Christmas Kiss

A young, single twenty something, aspiring interior designer kisses a random guy in an elevator because she thinks she's going to die. She doesn't die, although she kind of wishes she had because the random guy turns out to be here evil boss's boyfriend. Que the Christmas drama!

3.) Merry Kissmas

Not to be mistaken for A Christmas Kiss, though both involve two strangers kissing on an elevator during the Christmas season. This one is probably the cheesiest of the three, and includes a character I've dubbed 'the evil version of LinManuel Miranda.' If that doesn't make you want to watch this, I don't know what will.

Happy reading, and Merry Christmas!
