Club Benefits
When the temperature drops, there’s nothing better than curling up under a blanket with a feel-good rom-com. Luckily though, Prime Video is packed with heartwarming options that are perfect for a cozy night in.
From laugh-out-loud flicks to swoon-worthy romances, these movies offer the kind of comforting stories that make chilly evenings feel a little warmer. Whether you’re into modern love stories or classics you (probably forgot about, there’s something here for every mood. So, here are five cozy rom-coms on Prime Video that are guaranteed to lift your spirits this winter.
‘Picture This’ (2025)
One movie I especially enjoyed on Prime Video last year was “Picture This,” a rom-com starring Simone Ashley from “Bridgerton” and Hero Fiennes Tiffin from the “After” franchise. And honestly, that’s mostly because I’m a total sucker for this kind of movie. On the surface, it might look like your standard rom-com (and it kind of is), following a woman grappling with the pressure of finding love as she nears 30 while still nursing a broken heart. It’s familiar territory for the genre, but this Prime Video original actually manages to be a pretty pleasant surprise.
“Picture This” follows Pia (Ashley), a struggling London photographer whose portrait studio is barely staying afloat. When her sister’s wedding approaches, family pressure to find a partner increases — and at an engagement party, a spiritual guru predicts Pia will meet her true love within her next five dates. As Pia goes on a series of awkward and amusing blind dates, an unexpected encounter with her ex‑boyfriend Charlie (Tiffin) complicates her life further.

‘The Map of Tiny Perfect Things’ (2021)
The colder weather comes at the perfect time, especially with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, making it even better to curl up with a feel-good romance. One movie that’s perfectly suited for watching with your partner or friends (and one I watch every year without fail) is “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things.” It’s genuinely refreshing, with fun little sci-fi twists that make it all the more entertaining. And the best part? You don’t even need a Prime membership to enjoy it, as it’s streaming for free on Prime Video right now.
“The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” follows Mark (Kyle Allen), a quick‑witted teenager who wakes up to the same day on repeat, living in a time loop he’s learned to navigate down to every little detail. One day, he notices Margaret (Kathryn Newton), a mysterious girl who seems to be stuck in the same loop too. Intrigued, they team up to explore their endlessly repeating world together, mapping out all the small, memorable moments the day has to offer while trying to figure out if and how they might break free from the cycle.

‘Notting Hill’ (1999)
The classic rom-com formula usually goes something like this: Boy meets girl, boy falls for girl, boy loses girl, and boy eventually wins her back. “Notting Hill” doesn’t stray far from that blueprint. But the movie, starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant, takes its time, letting the story wind through plenty of highs and lows before reaching its expected ending. It’s a timeless favorite you really can’t go wrong with during the winter season, and if there were a crown for cozy movies, this one would definitely wear it.
“Notting Hill” centers on William Thacker (Grant), a mild‑mannered travel bookshop owner in London’s Notting Hill district, whose everyday life changes when Anna Scott (Roberts), a hugely famous American film star, walks into his shop by chance. After a quirky second meeting involving spilled orange juice and an unexpected kiss, the two strike up a friendship that slowly deepens into romance despite their wildly different worlds and the constant presence of paparazzi and public scrutiny. Growing closer, they both face obstacles that test their connection.

‘Upgraded’ (2024)
“Upgraded” doesn’t try to be anything more than a fun, heartwarming rom-com, and that’s exactly why it’s such a great recommendation. Sure, the story follows familiar beats we’ve seen countless times, leading to a somewhat predictable outcome. But what sets this one apart is how well it executes those moments, making the journey genuinely enjoyable. At its core, it’s a story about women supporting women, especially across generations, which gives the flick an extra layer of warmth and makes it feel more meaningful than your typical frothy rom-com.
Ana (Camila Mendes) is an ambitious but undervalued art intern in New York striving to make her mark at a prestigious auction house. When a travel upgrade lands her in first class on a work trip to London, she meets Will (Archie Renaux), a charming stranger who assumes she’s her boss after a mix‑up at the airport. Going along with the misunderstanding launches Ana into a whirlwind of glamorous events, unexpected opportunities, and a budding romantic connection, all while her little white lie grows harder to maintain and threatens both her professional reputation and personal relationships.

‘Definitely, Maybe’ (2008)
Ever heard of a romantic mystery? It’s not a genre you often come across when looking for something sweet, but “Definitely, Maybe” offers a fresh twist. The movie has plenty of heart and humor, which are essential ingredients for any rom-com. While it delivers the classic “meet cute,” it doesn’t stop there, since it also shows everything that comes after: awkward moments, hope and doubt, tough talks, breakups, and the hard-won happy endings. Plus, if you’re a Ryan Reynolds fan, then you’ll definitely want this one on your watchlist.
“Definitely, Maybe” follows Will Hayes (Reynolds), a thirty‑something Manhattan father in the midst of a divorce, who is prompted by his curious 10‑year‑old daughter, Maya (Abigail Breslin), to recount how he met her mother. To make it more fun, Will tells the story of his earlier relationships from 1992 — introducing three different women he knew at different points in his life — but alters their names so Maya has to guess which one became her mom. The narrative shifts between past and present as Maya pieces together her father’s romantic history.
