Netflix has become a staple in our household, and we’re not the only ones. Many moms say Netflix is one of the things they rely on to cope with the job of motherhood.

While there are many original Netflix shows geared at little kids, we also get our fill of shows that are a little bit more grown up. We’ve already been emptying our closets thanks to “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo,” and we’re eagerly looking forward to feeling like we’re kids again when “The Baby-Sitters Club” is released.

Not only does Netflix have some great original series, but they also have some great original movies. We usually turn to Hallmark Channel for Christmas movie marathons, but with “A Christmas Prince,” Netflix proved that it can hold its own in the romantic comedy Christmas genre.

In case you haven’t seen it, “A Christmas Prince” tells the story of an aspiring journalist named Amber (actress Rose McIver) who falls in love with the prince of a small country, Prince Richard (actor Ben Lamb). With the success of the first movie, which was released in 2017, Netflix created a sequel, “A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding,” which tells the story of Amber and Prince Richard’s wedding as well as all the complications that happen before the big day.

In both movies, just like the story that’s playing out with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, Amber is an American with no royal affiliation, and the prince is, well, a prince. Also, just like in real life, first comes love, then comes marriage, then the prince and princess are pushing a baby carriage.

Yes, Meghan and Harry already have their bundle of joy, but Netflix has a bundle of joy of their own coming this Christmas. They’re turning “A Christmas Prince” into a trilogy with “A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby” which will be released later this year.

Netflix released the big news with a sonogram picture on Twitter. In the picture, the royal baby is wearing a crown. Does a crown instead of a tiara mean that the royal baby will be a boy just like Meghan and Harry’s baby? Time will only tell.

The movie is scheduled to have a December 5 release, so there should be plenty of time for watching (probably over and over again) before Christmas.

Are you excited about the new “A Christmas Prince” movie? What’s your favorite Netflix show or movie?
