We can all agree that one of the greatest films of all time is, without doubt, A Christmas Prince. How the movie missed out on a Golden Globe nomination is a shock to the system and an absolute outrage.

It’s easy to get hooked on the feeling these terribly sappy Christmas movies bring forward and thankfully, there are plenty of bad chrissy movies to go around.

There’s a tested recipe when it comes to a cheesy Christmas flick. They follow an almost universal set of rules.

They are nearly always set in New York, or in rare exception, another American city where it snows. The movie begins with someone that either hates Christmas or is a bad person (i.e. needs to be better), and ends with that person learning the true meaning of Christmas.

It’s generally some moral relativism BS, plus it always involves a heterosexual relationship made up of two generic white actors with potato-shaped heads that haven’t worked in a decade. First, they’ll hate each other, then fall in shallow sexless love. Finally, there’s the obligatory pash at the end, as snow falls down on their basicness. Hooray! Christmas.

While these films are shamelessly predictable, there is something warm and comforting about watching a film that isn’t made to shock or, you know, require the use of too many brain waves.

Here are some Chrissy flicks even worse than Netflix’s A Christmas Prince:

A Wish For Christmas

Lacey Chabert from Mean Girls is still alive! Here she is as Sara, a ridiculously overly nice woman that gets walked all over in her work life. But then Santa gives her permission to speak up at work and you know, do her job but only for 48 hours. She becomes even more annoying – if that’s possible. There’s also a guy in it, that’s about as exciting as a bag of hair.


A Dogwalker’s Christmas Tale

More forgotten Mean Girls alum! This time it’s Aaron Samuels (AKA Jonathan Bennett), BUT he’s totally unrecognisable. What happened to him?

Anyways this movie is, just, like, what? So there are two v. white people wanting to save a stretch of grass which they label a dog park. That’s the whole movie. Oh, and there’s a girl in it that screams ‘IT’S (insert number) DAYS ‘TIL CHRISTMAS’ in every second scene. Bless.


Merry Kissmas

This movie is exactly what you expect. A fancy rich woman is engaged to a fancy rich (but obvi evil) man, but then she falls for a FILTHY AND POOR caterer. They even KISS. Therefore, giving this god-awful movie title slight validation. That’s about all you need to know.


Once Upon a Holiday

This film is probz the closet you’ll get to the magic of A Christmas Prince. Not only does it involve a royal fam from a country that doesn’t exist, the kicker is that it’s all set in New York and the family from errr… Montsaurai…happen to speak perfect English with an American accent.

This time around it’s a princess/photographer that meets a commoner. It’s complete nonsense but that makes it all the more fun.


How Sarah Got Her Wings

This movie is a trip. It begins with our lead Sarah and A DOG dying. Yes, you will care much more about the dog. But all g! The doggo goes to heaven, ‘cos of course. But Sarah has to prove herself.

Every second that passes, you kind of expect her to wake up as it was all a bad dream. But the bad dream was the fact that you actually sat through this entire film without pulling out all your fingernails.


Angel of Christmas

This would have to be the actual worst Christmas movie on this entire list, but not in a fun A Christmas Prince way. It’s just incredibly bad, like awful. You might need a few Chrissy bevs in ya to enjoy this one. It follows a writer who befriends an artist, as she errr… writes about an angel, or something. Yeah… get drunk instead!


The Spirit of Christmas

Hot ghost alert! Hot ghost alert! This movie is bonkers but there’s an incredibly handsome ghost in it, so you have to watch it.

All these films are available to stream on Netflix.
