So, in case you're NOT the type of person to watch holiday movies before Thanksgiving, here's the lowdown: Netflix recently released a sequel to its hit movie, The Princess Switch, starring the one and only Vanessa Anne Hudgens. At the very end of the movie — literally for like two seconds — the stars of Netflix's other hit Christmas movie, A Christmas Prince, pop onto the screen. What does this mean? It's Netflix's universe, baby, and we're just living in it.
The cameo in The Princess Switch: Switched Again essentially proves that there is a ~Netflix Holiday Cinematic Universe~, and people on Twitter had a lot of thoughts about it, some of which had me absolutely cackling.

My male roommate when the couple from The Christmas Prince had a cameo at the end of The Princess Switch 2: “Oh I love this. It’s like The Avengers.”

I was up at 6AM thinking how I hope Vanessa Hudgens’ character in The Knight Before Christmas becomes entangled with her other characters from The Princess Switch, all part of the Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe.

There's a Christmas Prince cameo in this new Christmas Switch movie confirming that the two universes are connected, this sort of expansion of the extended universe has never before been seen in Christmas fiction. Incredible.

The Netflix Holiday Cinematic Universe is the only thing I care about anymore

Oh my god Vanessa Hudgens is the Robert Downey Jr. of the Netflix Christmas Cinematic Universe
15.
The Netflix Christmas cinematic universe is more powerful than the MCU

Loyal Readers, Like many of you, I spent hours trying to figure out how Amber and Richard could appear in The Princess Switch: Switched Again without creating a Netflix Holiday Movie Universe paradox. So let’s break this down... https://t.co/IUwXbgpvQG
