Amazon Prime Video doesn't have a lot of original Christmas movies or even a lot of good licensed Christmas movies, so subscribers are left with scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to holiday treats. That's probably why the 2004 stinker Surviving Christmas, starring Ben Affleck and James Gandolfini, is No. 10 on Prime Video's Top 10 Movies and Shows list. The Peripheral, Riches, Three Pines, and The English remain in the top four spots.

The most popular movies and shows on Amazon Prime Video are below, but we'll also chime in on whether or not they're worth watching. Just because people are watching something, that doesn't mean it's good, right? And to help you plan what you'll watch next, we've added the new shows and movies coming to Prime Video, too.
