What if sleepless nights could lead you straight to love? No Sleep ’Til Christmas turns that whimsical idea into a warm, witty, and surprisingly heartfelt holiday story. The 2018 romantic comedy — starring real-life couple Odette Annable and Dave Annable — has arrived on Netflix USA and Netflix UK just in time for the season. The trailer is at the end of the article.
A former Freeform holiday favorite, the film blends humor and heartache as two insomniacs discover they can only sleep when next to each other. Their odd connection becomes something deeper — and suddenly, Christmas isn’t just about decorations or family dinners, but about timing, second chances, and the courage to rest in love.
Since landing on Netflix on November 11, 2025, No Sleep ’Til Christmas quickly entered the Netflix USA Top 10 Movies, placing #4 on November 13. For the UK, it also debuted on November 11, 2025 as part of Netflix’s coordinated holiday slate.
Directed by Phil Traill, the movie leans into cozy holiday chaos — city streets glowing with lights, insomnia-fueled comedy, and the un-fakeable chemistry of a real couple. Charles Michael Davis adds smooth, steady charm, while the supporting cast keeps the tone spry and inviting.
Beneath the laughs, there’s something relatable in its premise: exhaustion blurs loneliness; connection soothes what coffee can’t. It’s a film that doesn’t try too hard — it simply lets the warmth of a gently odd idea unfold. No Sleep ’Til Christmas is a soft, smart holiday rom-com that’s easy to love — and even easier to rewatch.
