The winter holidays are a great time to catch up on your prestige TV and your Oscar-bait movies, but let's get our priorities straight: The primary entertainment function of December is trashy Christmas movies.

In honor of Netflix's guilty pleasure A Christmas Prince(and upcoming Christmas Inheritance, which we fully expect to meet the same standard), let us revel in the yuletide joy of of these mindless movies.

Usually the bread and butter of Hallmark, Netflix is trying to get into the mix with the below originals as well as some from other networks that Netflix is currently streaming.

Pass the cocoa.

A Christmas Prince

An editor who has somehow never written an article (fun fact: that's not how that works at all) gets sent to the fictional country of Aldovia (where everyone is English) to dig up some dirt on its prince. Cue every royal-romance trope you can possibly think of and a few shameless shot-for-shot ripoffs of The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagementand Beauty and the Beast.

El Camino Christmas

Eric (Luke Grimes) looks for his estranged father before Christmas and ends up stuck with a veritable squad of randos in outrageous movie, which also stars Tim Allen, Vincent D'Onofrio, Dax Shephard, and – inexplicably – Jessica Alba.

Christmas Inheritance

A young woman has to visit her unknown hometown before receiving her inheritance, but she ends up snowed in and probably finding love! Jake Lacy is in this movie. What's going on, Jake Lacy?
