‘Jingle Bell Heist’
What’s Christmas without a little bit of comedy? Jingle Bell Heist is Netflix’s newest holiday drop and romantic comedy starring Olivia Holt and Connor Swindells. When two unlucky, hourly workers plot to work together to rob a fancy store in London, unexpected feelings begin to fly between them.
“This was so much fun,” Holt shared about the film. “It has elements of action and romance and mystery that are all genres and worlds that I love.”
Swindells said of the movie, “What drew me most to the project was the excitement of making something silly and joyful again. I’ve always wanted to make a Christmas movie.”

‘My Secret Santa’
Alexandra Breckenridge stars as single-mom, Taylor, who finds herself in need of a job and comes up with a crazy plan: she will disguise herself as a man and portray Santa Claus at a fancy ski resort. The only question is will the resort’s heir believe her ruse and hire her?
“It’s close to Mrs. Doubtfire—this is similar in that she doesn’t have a job,” Breckenridge explained. “She’s desperate to pay her rent, plus send her daughter to this snowboarding school, because she wants to provide everything that she possibly can for her daughter. But she’s a single parent. It’s very difficult for her, and she’s just lost her job during Christmas.”
