If you’ve been following along.. I’ve been watching terrible, cheesy, weird Christmas romance movies for the past THIRTY DAYS! It’s been mostly torture.

I created this master list with my important ratings (cough guy hottness cough cough) where anyone can check out the list at a glance.

Here are all 30 movies RANKED – worst to best – so you can make some smart choices for your cheesy Christmas viewings this December!

**[All of these are streaming on Amazon Prime, by the way!]**

THE WORST-

These are the truly terrible & recommended to be avoided. Feel free to enjoy ironically.. and watch at your own risk.

Christmas Recipe for Romance 
GUY HOTTNESS: B-
CHRISTMAS CHEER: B
ROMANCE: B
OVERALL RATING: C
Besides the semi-hott male lead & cute xmas inn/small town setting.. this movie has literally nothing to offer. The acting is next level bad .. skip it!

 Christmas Coupon 

GUY HOTTNESS: C

ROMANCE: F

CHRISTMAS CHEER: C

OVERALL RATING: F-

Wow. This was SO BAD that I couldn’t even finish it. Bad acting, bad editing.. the sound is echoey.. it’s just baaad. I should have known when I saw it had a 3.4 out of 10 on IMDB .. AVOID!!

Runaway Christmas Bride

GUY HOTTNESS: B+

ROMANCE: F

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B-

OVERALL RATING: D+

Waaay too much fake snowy mountaintop greenscreen & horrid acting. Just.. no.

A Christmas in Royal Fashion

GUY HOTTNESS: A-

ROMANCE: B

CHRISTMAS CHEER: C

OVERALL RATING: C+

This movie has got all the tropes: mean boss, nemesis coworker, and an unlikely royal romance. The prince def grew on me  (also this has the same actress in it as Runaway Christmas Bride.. and I don’t really like her, lol).

Holiday Breakup

GUY HOTTNESS: A-

CHRISTMAS CHEER: F

ROMANCE: D

OVERALL RATING: C-

Ahhh this movie is so awkward. I couldn’t get into it.. also there’s no Christmas until like 45 mins in. NO!

Christmas Lodge

GUY HOTTNESS: B

ROMANCE: C-

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A+

OVERALL RATING: C

Everyone is this movie is nauseatingly sweet and perfect. Cute lodge though. Also umm SPOILER ALERT: this dude proposes to the main character within like what.. a few weeks of meeting? Okay  

Day 25: Back to Christmas 

GUY HOTTNESS: B

CHRISTMAS CHEER: C

ROMANCE: B

OVERALL RATING: C

Meh. The typical “xmas do-over” story.. it’s aiight, nothing super stand out about this one. The only highlight is Jennifer Elise Cox!

THE “MEH” –

Give these a chance if you’re in for some CHEESE but..

don’t expect anything award-winning.

 A Christmas Switch

GUY HOTTNESS: A-

ROMANCE: F

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A

OVERALL RATING: C+

Not gonna lie, I love the “switch lives/bodies” trope. This didn’t really have romance but still had hott guys. I’d give this one a chance if you’re in the mood for something mediocre but cute & mindless.

Christmas in Mississippi 

GUY HOTTNESS: A

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B

ROMANCE: B

OVERALL RATING: B

 I was going to rate this lower but it got much better about 45 mins in. Just a lil boring but still worth popping on in the background while you’re putting up the tree!

On Strike for Christmas

GUY HOTTNESS: C

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A

ROMANCE: B

OVERALL RATING: B+

Not bad! I didn’t expect a lot going in, but this ended up being wicked cute. Points deducted for the two 30 year old guys playing high school seniors ..soo bad.

GUY HOTTNESS: A
CHRISTMAS CHEER: B
ROMANCE: B
OVERALL RATING: B+
Literally gasped when I saw Matthew Lawrence!! Love him. This movie is so corny & unintentionally funny. I laughed out loud a couple times. Definitely give it a shot if you’re into major cheeeeeese (& the Lawrence brothers bc seriously, who isn’t?)

The Christmas Edition

GUY HOTTNESS: A+

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A

ROMANCE: B

OVERALL RATING: A-

I’ll never get sick of the “big city gal moves to the middle of nowhere” trope, esp when it’s done as cutely as this. The male lead is verrrry easy on the eyes as well.

A Prince for Christmas

GUY HOTTNESS: B+

ROMANCE: A-

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B

OVERALL RATING: B+

“A Christmas tree didn’t kill our parents, a car did.” – actual line from this movie Surprisingly romantic despite some TRULY bad acting. I can’t help but love the prince thing …sorry not sorry.

A Wedding for Christmas 

GUY HOTTNESS: A+

ROMANCE: B

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A-

OVERALL RATING: B+

Another unlikeable female main character saved by a super hott love interest! This is better than most of the “bad” movies I’ve watched on this list. Give this one a shot.

12 Pups of Christmas

GUY HOTTNESS: A+

ROMANCE: B-

CHRISTMAS CHEER: C

OVERALL RATING: B-

This movie is lucky it’s got a wicked hott guy & cute puppies to balance out the totally unlikeable main character.

Christmas Wish/Holiday Switch 

GUY HOTTNESS: C

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B

ROMANCE: C

OVERALL RATING: B-

 Another “What If?” holiday do-over movie. Poor mom turns into rich mom.. misses her old poor family.. you know how it goes. This earned points by being pretty funny. Horrible production value though.

GUY HOTTNESS: B
CHRISTMAS CHEER: B
ROMANCE: B-
OVERALL RATING: B
I’m so here for the “dislike blossoms into romance” trope. This movie doesn’t do anything THAT exciting or new, but still a cute watch

Falling for Christmas 

GUY HOTTNESS: B+

ROMANCE: C+

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B+

OVERALL RATING: B-

Obsessed with the festive mountain lodge setting. The ice skating subplot is aiight …but the sweater wardrobe is impressive.

My Dad’s Christmas Date

GUY HOTTNESS: A-

ROMANCE: B

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B

OVERALL RATING: A-

This movie is cute.. but boring. If you’re into family drama movies with a touch of romance, this is for you. Bonus points for Jeremy Piven.

Christmas in the Smokies 

GUY HOTTNESS: A

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A

ROMANCE: A

OVERALL RATING: A

This is freaking CUTE. I had a few genuine laughs & aww moments. Definitely going to enter my regular xmas rotation!

Snowbound for Christmas 

GUY HOTTNESS: A

CHRISTMAS CHEER: B

ROMANCE: A

OVERALL RATING: A-

A romantic subplot for the nemesis with another hott guy?? Wow! The acting in this is naaht amazing but what do you expect? Not a bad finish to my 30 Days of Cheesy Xmas Romance

Dear Christmas 

GUY HOTTNESS: A

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A

ROMANCE: A

OVERALL RATING: A

I love me some Melissa Joan Hart. Umm AND old Jason Priestley? Okay. This is SO CHEESY but wow, so cute. Give it a shot!

GUY HOTTNESS: A+
CHRISTMAS CHEER: B
ROMANCE: A
OVERALL RATING: A
An actual Hallmark movie! Likeable female lead, hott male lead.. good chemistry AND a How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days sort of bet. I’m into it! Give it a shot. (Plus it has the girl from John Tucker Must Die in it!!)

GUY HOTTNESS: A++++
CHRISTMAS CHEER: B
ROMANCE: A
OVERALL RATING: A
Wow. A sexy ghost man?? Okay. Surprisingly sweet & I loooved the ~mystery~  This will probably be an annual rewatch for me.

CHRISTMAS CHEER: A+
ROMANCE: A-
