This is the streaming hack you didn’t know you needed: Netflix codes. Also known as the “Netflix secret menu”, this list of codes gives you access to really specific movie and TV categories you didn’t even know existed... This hack isn’t just helpful in the holidays, it’s a year-round game changer for finding the perfect watch.

How to access Netflix’s secret menu

Here’s how it works. Copy and paste this link into your browser: http://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/INSERTNUMBER

Then, replace INSERTNUMBER with a code from the list below. Give it a test run with one of these holiday category codes:

Beyond the holidays

This hack isn’t just good for the holidays; it has categories you’ll want to watch all year long. Netflix-codes.com has a comprehensive list of all the codes for finding the right streaming program. But it would be pretty hard to document all of the categories, as there are tens of thousands in existence. 

Looking for a holiday streaming session a bit off the beaten track? Try quirky codes like Twisted Christmas (2300975) for titles like Die Hard or A Bad Moms Christmas. If you need your cheesy rom-com fix, the Hallmark Channel (107985) should do the trick. 

These codes work year-round, so whether it’s July or December, you’ll always find the perfect category for movie night. Grab your popcorn and get your movie marathon going!

For the best holiday movie experience, you’ll need a great internet connection to ensure buffer-free, reliable streaming. It’s hard to do better than Ting Internet.
