As a seasoned movie enthusiast who has navigated through countless film genres and holidays, I must admit that this year’s Netflix top ten lists have left me both amused and intrigued. The stark contrast between the US and UK choices is quite fascinating, much like comparing mince pies to pumpkin pie – each has its unique charm!
It’s clear we’ve entered the holiday season leading up to Christmas. The excitement is building as we approach the celebration, and with additional responsibilities and pressures that often come with this time of year, it’s essential for everyone to find moments to take a break and recharge.
Instead of finding another way, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to spend your time cozily at home, watching a movie? It’s entirely up to you whether you indulge in seasonal treats and drinks. However, if you want to maintain the festive spirit, perhaps a Christmas movie would suit you? But if you’re looking for something different, maybe something not centered around Santa, elves, or sweet holiday themes is more your preference?
Indeed, there are films like Die Hard and its modern counterpart that pay tribute to Bruce Willis’ movie, such as Carry-On. However, one might question whether these movies fall under the category of Christmas films or not. This debate will persist every year without a doubt. The suspenseful and thrilling aspects of these movies, subtly infused with holiday cheer, could potentially help you momentarily forget about the extensive and likely expanding list of seasonal tasks.
Checkout the difference in these Netflix top ten movie lists from the US and the UK
The current top ten list of Netflix movies is quite revealing. It shows a stunning difference between the US and the UK in the choices everyone is making for their movie wind down. The main difference is that in the US, people are perhaps not ready for Christmas viewing yet, or are choosing to avoid it.
In the United States, only three Christmas movies currently rank in the top ten, but as we approach the holiday season, this might change. On the other hand, in the UK, Christmas films have a stronghold on the top ten, with seven of them listed without any question about their holiday status. Here’s a comparison of the US and UK top ten lists; quite a difference you’ll find.

One possibility could be: The gap in availability of Christmas movies between the two countries might be due to differences in release schedules. While many Christmas films are actually re-releases rather than new productions, it’s still possible that the timing following Thanksgiving Day in the US might not align with viewer preferences. On the other hand, the UK, which does not observe a similar family holiday like Thanksgiving, may be eager to start the festive season earlier. Regardless of the reasons or individual tastes, there’s usually ample opportunity to watch a fun, festive film; make your selection wisely and have a great time!
