The Princess Switch

Be joyful, this is another original Christmas movie from Netflix. This one is sure to be another Netflix classic similar to A Christmas Prince. The movie stars Vanessa Hudgens of High School Musical fame.

The Netflix synopsis for the film gives insight into what it is all about.

"When a down-to-earth Chicago baker and a soon-to-be princess discover they look like twins, they hatch a Christmastime plan to trade places.” Another recap of the film from Google reads, “One week before Christmas, a duchess switches places with an ordinary woman from Chicago, who looks exactly like her, and they each fall in love with each other’s beaus."

So, you know exactly what you’re getting into with this movie. This is sort of a Princess and the Pauper story with a modern holiday twist. If you love cheesy Christmas movies and have ever dreamed of being royalty, this movie could be the perfect choice for a nice night in. You could also watch this movie with your friends and laugh at the antics and all of the amazing ridiculousness that happens in these type of trading spaces movies.

The Princess Switch is sure to sweep you away from reality and be a good time, and you know that in the end, all will be well. These movies are so comforting because they always end up with people getting a happy ending, and this can be refreshing when our own lives aren’t nearly as perfect.
