Here are the secret Netflix codes to help you find the best Christmas movies

Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good Netflix binge-session

There's no denying it now. houses around Aotearoa are beginning to have the signature scent of pine, and people are spending hours wrestling with the chain of tangled fairy lights. Christmas is here.

But that means it's totally acceptable to snuggle up on the couch and indulge in our guilty pleasure. Christmas movies.

With so many choices though it can be hard to sift through the streaming services to find just the right one. No one wants to be overwhelmed by the mountain of movie options on Netflix, paralysing you with indecision and frustrating your loved ones.

Luckily there is a secret list of codes that unlock an entire Santa sack full of movies, helpfully broken down by Christmas sub-genre.

The best way to do it is from your computer, go to www.netflix.com/browse/genre/ and add in the code for the genre you want to find (eg www.netflix.com/browse/genre/1475066 for 'Feel-good Christmas children & family films'). Alternatively, you can also do it through the app by using the search bar and typing in the code.

- Feel-good Christmas children & family films: 1475066 - Christmas children and family films: 1474017 - Goofy Christmas children and family films: 1475071 - British Christmas children and family films: 1527064
