Not just the plot, the movie has a brilliant cast starring Zoey Deutch, Jonah Hauer-King, and Ruby Cruz. Josh Segarra, Robert Longstreet, Arden Myrin, Kristin Slaysman, and more joined the three for the film. The movie was dropped on December 27 and is available for fans to stream on Netflix, and rent on Apple.

On the other hand, Love Hard is another festive delight. Natalie (Nina Dobrev) believes she has found love online and flies 3,000 miles to meet the person for the holidays, only to discover she has been catfished. However, fate has different plans for Natalie.

Rounding off the marathon is a 2025 rom-com that simply cannot be missed. La Dolce Villa follows Eric (Scott Foley), who rushes to Italy to stop his daughter (Maia Reficco) from buying a crumbling villa for just one euro. But he soon realizes that the romance of Italy is impossible to resist. The sweetness of these rom-coms along with the spice in The Threesome are what make Netflix the one stop for all cinema lovers.
