Any recs for good new holiday movies?

I usually review a newer holiday movie in my film column. I haven't seen anything new this year. Looking for recommendations--They need to be streaming currently.

if you don't mind subtitles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_for_Christmas_(TV_series). It turns the whole stupid Hallmark Channel holiday movie model on its head. It's funny and rather naughty and there's sex and naked people.
