Hot chocolate, love, and Christmas garlands are spilling over onto Netflix. If “Hard Love” is a hit, we prefer other films for this pre-holiday season.
We were telling you this week about Netflix’s latest hit: Hernán Jiménez’s Christmas movie Hard Love, starring Nina Dobrev, Jimmy O. Yang and Darren Barnett, isn’t really our cup of tea. The pitch? Nathalie, unhappy in love, decides to cross the United States to join Josh, a man she met on a dating app, with the idea of spending the end of the year holidays with him. But the young woman has a bad surprise when she arrives there: Josh is not at all the man he claimed to be in the photos …
It seems that catfishing (the fact of pretending to be another person on the networks for the purpose of manipulation) is not a very serious activity … You will understand, we expect better comedies romantics and other productions that evoke this beautiful Christmas period. In order to come to terms with this genre that we love so much, we offer you a selection that we find much better than Hard love.

“Love Actually”: the cult film available on Netflix
Love Actually is so cult that we never tire of it. It’s a tradition: every year, we watch this soft toy from the 2000s, written and directed by Richard Curtis, to whom we already owe Bridget jones or Four weddings and a funeral. You passed by Love Actually ? Don’t panic: the film is available on Netflix. It is also an opportunity to see a cast that is impressive to say the least: Keira Knighley, Hugh Grant, Liam Neeson, Coline Firth, Emma Thompson, Alan Rickman or Andrew Lincoln and Bill Nighy.
“Klaus”: the animated nugget of Netflix
It’s not just the 2000s Christmas movies that are great. Netflix also has the wonderful animated film called Klaus. Released in 2019, it tells the story of Jesper, a postman who goes to an island north of the Artic Circle and meets people there who don’t get along at all. Fortunately, he can count on the support of Alva and Klaus to spread the magic of Christmas! This animated film is perfect to watch with the family, but that’s not all. He is so feel good whether solo, as a couple or with friends, you will find your account there.

“The Holiday”: a five-star cast on Netflix
How not to quote The Holiday, with Kate Winslet, Jude Law, Cameron Diaz and Jack Black? Impossible.

Joy assured with The Holiday !
