Tis the season for holiday movies, and Netflix has a heartwarming new movie to help get you in the holiday spirit. It seems like everyone is making holiday movies these days, and Netflix Christmas movies are always entertaining and full of big name celebrities, like this year's Falling for Christmas with Lindsay Lohan.

Aimee Garcia (Lucifer) returns to Netflix as Angelina, a pop star tasked by her record company with developing a holiday song. When she comes upon a video of a young fan singing her song, she decides to pay the fan a visit. And when she meets the girl’s father (Freddy Prinze Jr.), she realizes that this chance meeting might be more than she bargained for in the best of ways. 

While holiday movies tend to be formulaic, the true measure of a movie’s success is the energy between the cast and whether it puts you in the mood for the holidays. Based on the trailer alone, Christmas with You measures up on both accounts.
