When it comes to Christmas movies, we definitely start our binge on December 1.
However, starting too early can leave very little to enjoy later on in the month, so it's always nice to sprinkle in a few alternatives.
Well, we've been on the hunt for a few Christmas-themed movies that won't be singing Deck The Halls at us the whole way through.
Yes, Netflix has a pretty decent selection of Crimbo flicks, and some of them fall into that 'alternative' category that we're craving right now.
Here are five movies that are seasonally appropriate but won't be too much of a festive-overload.
