If you, too, struggle to pick a holiday classic to stream, now is the time to consult your horoscope. Whether you love a Christmas classic or a cheesy original, read on for the rom-com you should see this holiday season based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Love Actually
Love Actually is an ideal holiday rom-com for this fiery sign because it’s packed with big moments, swoon-worthy gestures, and plenty of drama. The emotional highs and lows will keep Aries hooked, and they’ll appreciate the characters who boldly fight for love, too. Love Actually follows several couples as they navigate love around the holiday season, from breakups to weddings. Aries thrives on excitement and the thrill of big moments, and Love Actually delivers just that. I just know an Aries loves to see young Thomas Brodie-Sangster chasing down his crush at Heathrow every single year.
Taurus
The Holiday
If there’s one thing Taurus loves, it’s comfort, which is exactly what The Holiday is known for. From charming cottages to picturesque villas, this movie is full of cozy, festive scenes to get Taureans in the holiday spirit. But it’s not all about the beautiful scenery (and I don’t just mean Jude Law)—Taurus values deep connections, so they’ll also enjoy the slow-building romance between the main characters. Add in some heartwarming moments about family and self-discovery, and it’s the perfect Christmas rom-com for a Taurus to curl up with.
Gemini
Love Hard
Known for their versatile nature, Geminis love a good twist and unpredictability—something Love Hard is full of. In this charming rom-com, Nina Dobrev stars as a journalist who meets her perfect match on a dating app and travels across the country to meet him. When she arrives, she realizes she’s been catfished. Beneath all of this is the inherent debate: which is a better Christmas movie, Love Actually or Die Hard? A versatile Gemini knows this debate all too well, and they’ll get a kick out of watching the characters navigate an awkward catfishing situation in front of family members and friends.
Cancer
The Family Stone
Family relationships and deep, emotional connections are important to Cancers, so it only makes sense that The Family Stone would be a go-to film for them during the holidays. In this movie, Everett (Dermot Mulroney) brings his straight-laced girlfriend (Sarah Jessica Parker) home to his relaxed family for the holidays. Chaos ensues. From heartwarming moments to emotional breakdowns, this movie has everything sentimental Cancers will enjoy. Full of humor, vulnerability, and love, this movie is perfect for the sign who wants to feel all the feels this holiday season.
Leo
Last Holiday
Leos love being the center of attention and living life to the fullest, so what better movie for them to watch this season than Last Holiday? In the film, Queen Latifa’s character finds out she only has a few weeks to live, so she decides to take herself to Europe for a luxurious Christmas holiday. This kind of main character energy has Leo written all over it. The fire sign will love how Last Holiday is all about making the most of every moment and treating yourself, especially during Christmastime.
Virgo
Four Christmases
Virgos love to organize chaos, and Four Christmases is a holiday movie all about juggling family dynamics and staying on top of it all. In Four Christmases, Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play a couple who must navigate four separate holidays between their respective divorced parents. Virgos will appreciate their attempts to maintain order in the midst of the busy holiday season as they attend four extremely different gatherings. This movie is a good reminder for Virgos that imperfection is part of life, and embracing it can be both entertaining and meaningful.
Libra
Dash & Lily
Libra, ruled by Venus, is all about love, beauty, and the idea that fate will bring people together. That’s why Dash & Lily is the perfect holiday rom-com for this air sign. Even though this Netflix original is technically a series, it’s all about a meant-to-be holiday romance between a free-spirited Christmas lover and a regular Scrooge. Creative, thoughtful Libras will especially connect to Lily (Midori Francis), who is determined to spread holiday cheer to everyone—even if they claim they don’t want it.
Scorpio
The Holiday Calendar
Scorpios are intense, passionate, and love a good mystery, making The Holiday Calendar a must-see movie this Christmas. In this holiday rom-com, Abby (Kat Graham) finds an advent calendar that somehow predicts the future. Suddenly, Abby finds herself on a journey of self-discovery and unexpected romance. The element of fate and destiny in this movie is sure to hit Scorpio right in their feels. The Holiday Calendar is emotional, mysterious, and has a quiet intensity that Scorpios thrive on.
Sagittarius
Falling for Christmas
Just because this LiLo Netflix rom-com is new to the holiday movie roster doesn’t mean it’s not an instant holiday classic for Sagittarius. In Falling for Christmas, a young heiress has a skiing accident and ends up with amnesia. As she tries to remember who she is, she finds herself in the care of a handsome lodge owner and his daughter. Sagittarians love adventure, which Falling for Christmas is full of as Lindsay Lohan’s character experiences “real” life for the first time. Plus, a Sagittarius loves a good laugh, and this film is up there for funny Christmas movies.
Capricorn
White Christmas
Capricorns are known for prioritizing self-discipline, growth, and their personal goals, making White Christmas the ideal holiday movie for this ambitious sign. Capricorns love to work hard, and all of the main characters in White Christmas truly respect the grind. In this classic holiday rom-com, singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) fight to save the inn owned by the man who was their commander in WWII. For Capricorns who love to see romance bud alongside hard work, White Christmas is the perfect feel-good movie.
Aquarius
While You Were Sleeping
Aquarians are quirky yet social, which is why they’ll resonate with Sandra Bullock’s character in While You Were Sleeping. In this movie, Bullock plays a transit worker who saves her longtime crush from being run over by a train and pretends to be his girlfriend while he’s in a coma. The only problem is that she can’t quite fool his cute brother. Aquarius signs are secretly huge romantics, which is why they’ll love watching the two main characters sheepishly fall for each other over the course of this sweet film. Plus, the backdrop of Chicago at Christmastime is swoon-worthy.
Pisces
Elf
Elf may not technically be a rom-com, but it’s a perfect fit for Pisces, thanks to its magical, whimsical energy. Pisces are dreamers who believe in the magic of the world around them, and Buddy the Elf’s infectious optimism and unwavering belief in the Christmas spirit will resonate with them. Daydreamy Pisces will also relate to the way Buddy lives in his own world while those around him, especially Jovie (Zooey Deschanel), are more grounded in reality. If you’re a Pisces, Elf will warm your heart and remind you that a little bit of magic can go a long way.
