Netflix
KLAUS
KLAUS is an animated fantasy about a young postman who teams up with a toymaker named Klaus to deliver toys to children living in a faraway, unhappy town split in two by a terrible feud. KLAUS has some cartoon violence, brief implied magic and no references to Christmas, but it’s a witty, charming movie with heartwarming moments.

ALIEN XMAS
ALIEN XMAS is an adorable animated Christmas special on Netflix about an alien named X who learns about the Christmas spirit. ALIEN XMAS is an adorable Christmas special with strong moral, redemptive values that rebukes greed and extols kindness, family, sacrificial love, and generosity, but it never directly addresses the birth of Jesus the Messiah, the true meaning of Christmas.

OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP
OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP is a romantic comedy streaming on Netflix about a Congressional aide named Erica, who’s forced by her boss to travel to Gaum and work over the Christmas holidays against the backdrop of Anderson Air Force Base’s annual humanitarian Christmas drop. The comedy in OPERATION CHRISTMAS DROP is hit or miss, but the movie’s historical background, good performances and heartfelt messages of humility, sacrifice, love, and Christmas cheer overshadow the blandness.

DOLLY PARTON’S CHRISTMAS ON THE SQUARE
DOLLY PARTON’S CHRISTMAS ON THE SQUARE is an entertaining, flamboyant musical on Netflix about a small town with a vibrant church threatened by a wicked real estate woman, whose father built the town, who wants to sell the whole town to build the biggest mall in America.
