As the holidays approach, streaming services worldwide unveil their annual trove of festive films, turning screens into shimmering portals to winter romance and seasonal cheer. Netflix, a global giant in this seasonal offering, consistently delivers an array of original and licensed holiday content, from heartwarming comedies to charming dramas. However, the world of Christmas movies is vast, and the desire to find every new, cozy holiday film raises a pressing question for dedicated viewers: can they watch The More the Merrier on Netflix?

This delightful film offers a snowy, surprising backdrop for a Christmas Eve romance.

The More the Merrier is not part of the Netflix Christmas lineup; it is a brand-new premiere for the Hallmark Channel's Countdown to Christmas event. The film premiered on Friday, November 28, and is available for streaming the following day on the network's dedicated service, Hallmark+. This means Netflix subscribers must look to Hallmark's platforms for this holiday programming. The heartwarming plot of The More the Merrier unfolds at a small, rural hospital on a snowed-in Christmas Eve.

The movie is about an emergency room doctor, Alice, known for her festive spirit, who is joined by the newly arrived top-rated cardiologist, Brian. Their professional differences create friction until an unprecedented baby boom forces them to collaborate intensely. Three women, including the area's only OBGYN, go into labor simultaneously. As Alice and Brian team up to safely deliver the newborns and keep spirits bright for all patients, their shared, eventful night overcomes their contrasting medical philosophies, igniting an undeniable romantic spark that may change their lives forever.  

The Sweetest Christmas Series on Netflix Is Finally Getting a New Season

The movie’s success relies on the chemistry between two very familiar faces from popular television.

The romantic leads for The More the Merrier are played by two actors well known to viewers of holiday movies: Rachel Boston stars as the dedicated ER doctor, Alice, and Brendan Penny plays the cardiologist, Brian. Boston has a rich background in television, having held main roles in series such as Witches of East End, and she is a long-standing favorite within the Hallmark Media family.

Brendan Penny is equally recognisable, having starred in many network films and spending six seasons as Kevin O’Brien on the popular drama series Chesapeake Shores. This film marks the first time these two frequent Hallmark stars have worked together on a Christmas movie. Nevertheless, Netflix’s extensive catalog of original holiday films and licensed content ensures that a wide variety of cheerful, festive romance is readily available to fill the void.
