A Christmas Prince

A fledgling journalist is sent to the Kingdom of Aldovia to get an inside scoop on Prince Richard, who is rumored to be a playboy. She poses as Amber Moore, a tutor for Princess Emily, and through her time in the palace, she uncovers secrets about the prince and begins to fall for him. As Christmas approaches, Amber must decide whether to reveal the truth and risk her budding romance or protect the royal family.

A Christmas Prince was met with generally mixed to negative reviews from critics, but was a massive hit with audiences, becoming one of Netflix's most-watched Christmas films and spawning two sequels. It is often cited as a quintessential example of a modern, cheesy Christmas romance movie.

• Praised for its charming lead performances and festive, feel-good atmosphere.
