During the holiday season it seems like the only things on television are Christmas related. \u00a0Every other channel is running a Christmas movie marathon with all of the classics like Elf, Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer, and Home Alone. \u00a0There are so many Christmas movies that there are genres within the genre of Christmas movie. One of the most popular genre is Christmas rom coms.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas rom coms are very similar to normal rom coms. \u00a0With a plot consisting of two people meeting, waiting a while to get together, a big twist and they break up, and then a big gesture at the end so they end up together. \u00a0But Christmas rom coms have their own set of tropes that are different from other rom coms throughout the year. An example of this is that in order for them to be together they both have to be really into Christmas, and if one of them is not they will learn to love it by the end of the movie. \u00a0Snowstorms keeping someone in a small town in another classic trope that makes the two main characters stay together and then fall in love.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some classic Christmas rom coms are \u201cLove Actually\u201d, \u201cThe Holiday\u201d, and \u201cFour Christmases\u201d. \u00a0All of these movies are constantly playing on TV. The most popular of the three is \u201cLove Actually\u201d. \u00a0The movie is different from other rom coms because it follows more than one couple throughout the movie, it has 4 different story lines instead of just one. \u00a0But each storyline still follows that same general arc as a typical Christmas rom com.<\/span><\/p>\n

Netflix has been making more rom coms in the past year, and this includes Christmas rom coms. \u00a0The most popular Netflix rom com is called \u201cThe Christmas Prince\u201d and it follows one of the typical rom com stories of a normal girl falling in love with a man who turns out to be a prince. \u00a0\u201cThe Christmas Prince\u201d was such a big hit on Netflix that they have now made a sequel this year. Other Christmas rom coms on Netflix are \u201cThe Princess Switch\u201d starring Vanessa Hudgens, and \u201cChristmas Inheritance\u201d. \u00a0These are only movies that are made by Netflix, you can also watch other Christmas rom coms on Netflix as well.<\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas rom coms is a feel good movie genre that is meant to put people in the holiday spirit. \u00a0Everyone in all of the movies are extremely kind and they always give to others, something that not everyone does in the real world.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
