December’s holiday streaming race has a clear frontrunner, and it comes with a familiar face for fans of Virgin River. Netflix’s My Secret Santa has quickly become one of the most talked-about Christmas movies of the season, thanks in large part to Alexandra Breckenridge’s charming and comedic performance.
Released in early December, the film taps into everything audiences crave during the holidays: cozy settings, playful misunderstandings, and heartfelt romance. Breckenridge plays a single mom who disguises herself as a male Santa to land a seasonal job at a luxury ski resort, setting the stage for warm laughs and unexpected chemistry.
What makes My Secret Santa stand out is its balance of physical comedy and emotional sincerity. Viewers who fell in love with Breckenridge’s grounded warmth in Virgin River will recognize that same emotional pull here, wrapped in festive humor.
As streaming platforms flood December with new releases, My Secret Santa proves that familiar stars and comfort-driven storytelling still dominate holiday viewing habits.
