If you need to keep the kids occupied for a minute as you go down your list and check it all twice, you can always entertain them with a good Christmas movie for kids. And while Charlie Brown only comes around once a year and the Grinch is hit or miss, kids' Christmas movies on Netflix are always there when you need them.

They range from short, 20-minute episodes to full-length features, so no matter how much time you need to fill, you can find something that fits the bill.
