One of the best parts of any holiday break is binge watching Netflix, whether you want to admit it or not.

Whether you're looking for a funny, ridiculously cheesy flick for a night in with friends or something to screen with your kids, Netflix has you covered.

Check out some of our favorites:

'The Princess Switch'

Vanessa Hudgens stars in this holiday flick about a baker from Chicago who trades places with a future princess from fictional Belgravia. They meet when Hudgens travels to the land to compete in a local baking competition, and the rest is history.

If you loved "The Parent Trap," check out this classic trading-places tale. Hudgens has been sharing behind-the-scenes snaps on her social channels to get her fans excited for the movie.

'The Holiday Calendar'

In this story, Kat Graham's character is given a magical Christmas calendar by her grandfather. The calendar starts granting her wishes that help her move toward accomplishing her dreams and learning more about herself.
