‘Our Little Secret’ and Seven Other Holiday Movies Dominate Netflix

If there was no denying it in the past couple of weeks, now the numbers make it impossible to ignore: the holiday spirit is upon us. This week, eight of the top 10 most-watched movies on Netflix were Christmas movies, and Lindsay Lohan‘s Our Little Secret again took the top spot with 23.5 million views. The movie stars Lohan as Avery, a woman who decides to spend the holidays with her boyfriend’s family and discovers that her ex is among them. The cast also features Kristin Chenoweth (Wicked), Ian Harding (Pretty Little Liars), John Rudnistky (Red One), Dan Bucatinsky (Scandal) and Tim Meadows (Mean Girls).

The story follows Santa Claus (voiced by Brian Cox) trying to save the Holy Night during a wild snowstorm. In third place, The Grinch was there to remind us that not everyone is happy during this time, while #4 featured a Christmas-adjacent story: Mary tells the story of the birth of Christ through the eyes of his mother, and the Biblical adventure debuted with 11.4 million views. With 8.4M views, Twas The Text Before Christmas landed at #5.
