A Christmas Prince _ Official Trailer HD _ Netflix_  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Nov 16, 2018 3:57 PM UTC A Christmas Prince \_ Official Trailer \[HD\] \_ Netflix  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Nov 16, 2018 3:57 PM UTC With winter [arriving early](http://time.com/5456834/snow-storm-stranded-students/) this year, it’s time to abandon all pretense and skip straight ahead to the best part of the season: watching all the holiday and [Christmas-themed movies](http://time.com/5047224/best-christmas-movies/) that your heart desires. Luckily, Netflix has a trove of holiday treasure waiting to be consumed during the cold nights to come. But perhaps the titles aren’t popping up in your recommended queue just yet. Not to worry; there’s a simple hack to make sure that everything from perennial classic [_Love Actually_](http://time.com/5179488/emma-thompson-love-actually-cheating-scene/) to freshly-crowned favorite [_A Christmas Prince_](http://time.com/5058485/a-christmas-prince-twitter/) appear on your screen in no time. As [some sources](https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/netflix-codes-uk-us-christmas-movies-films-secret-hidden-a8624171.html) have figured out, Netflix organizes its offerings with genre codes on the website URL. And if you know the genre code, you can use it as a shortcut to access the streaming platform’s full catalogue of options in that category. Just type out “[http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/”](http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/”); and then finish it off with the numerical code. So you want a “Romantic Christmas Movie,” like the aforementioned classic _Love Actually_, or some lighter fare like _The Spirit of Christmas_ or _Christmas Crush_? That’s [1394527](https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/1394527). (For the fans: _A Christmas Prince_ lives in this category, too.) How about “Family-friendly Christmas Movies,” like _Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure_, starring an extremely friendly St. Bernard dog? Just plug in [1394522](https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/1394522). They’ve even broken it down into granular sections like “Goofy Christmas Children and Family Films” and by suggested age range or locale. Thanksgiving entertainment with family is now solved. Here’s the full selection: Romantic Christmas Films – 1394527 Christmas Children & Family Films – 1474017 Family-friendly Christmas Films – 1394522 Christmas Children & Family Films for Ages 11 to 12 – 1477206 Christmas Children & Family Films for Ages 8 to 10 – 1477204 Christmas Children & Family Films for Ages 5 to 7 – 1477201 Feel-good Christmas Children & Family Films – 1475066 Goofy Christmas Children & Family Films – 1475071 Christmas Children & Family Films from the 1990s – 1476024 British Christmas Children & Family Films – 1527064 European Christmas Children & Family Films – 1527063 Canadian Christmas Children & Family Films – 1721544 Christmas Children & Family Films from the 1990s – 1476024 ## Transcript [00:15] Wow!
