The weather outside is frightful, but the sexy movie selection on Netflix in December is so delightful. Even with all those Christmas movies available to stream on Netflix [1] right now, you can still find plenty of nonfestive films to watch, including historical romances, erotic thrillers [2], and other naughty movies that belong nowhere near the "nice" list. Check out the gallery for the sexiest movies you can watch on Netflix this December and, since you've got no place to be, you might as well let it stream, let it stream, let it stream. Warning: these movies are steamier than a cup of hot cocoa, so handle with caution.
