I love a good Christmas rom-com, and there are so many good ones this season. Here are five movies you can’t miss:

“Falling in Love with Christmas” (Netflix)

Who would have thought that Lindsay Lohan’s first big movie in a decade would be a Christmas movie? The actress stars in this new Netflix movie about a newly engaged young heiress who is diagnosed with amnesia after a skiing accident. She ends up at a small mountain inn, where the inn owner and her daughter nurse her back to health and reality. She also falls in love. This Christmas movie has all the right things.

A pastry chef dreams of opening her own Puerto Rican-inspired bakery, when a local hotel owner asks her to be the pastry chef at his hotel’s big Christmas party. They are complete opposites in approach to the festive menu, but of course they find love in the process.

Freddie Prinze Jr., a ’90s teen heartthrob, also has a Christmas movie. He is about a super famous pop star who has to produce a hit Christmas song but has writer’s block. He is inspired by a teenager whose Christmas wish is to meet her, so he visits the small town where the girl lives. That’s where he meets Prinze, the widowed father of a teenager. And love sparks over songwriting.

Houston native and former Destiny’s Child Kelly Rowland stars in the three-film series about a successful tech entrepreneur trying to craft the perfect Christmas with her chaotic family while falling in love with a neighbor, getting married and having a baby. Rowland is a Christmas sweetheart who should continue the series for a few more movies.
