The Royals From 'A Christmas Prince' Show Up in 'Princess Switch 2' & Fans Are Getting Confused About Netflix's Christmas Movie Connections

If you watched The Princess Switch: Switched Again on Netflix this weekend, you weren’t alone – and you also weren’t alone in your surprise when King Richard and Queen Amber from A Christmas Prince show up!

Fans all across social media were first delighted when they saw the Aldovian royal family at Duchess Margaret’s coronation.

But that turned to confusion about how Netflix’s Christmas movies were all connected, since in the first Princess Switch movie, Margaret and Kevin actually watched A Christmas Prince on Netflix in the movie. But now, Amber and Richard are there in real life!

Last year, it was revealed that it’s not just these two movies that are connected.

The Knight Before Christmas (also starring Vanessa Hudgens), Holiday Calendar, The Christmas Inheritance, and Holiday in the Wild are also entangled in the Christmas Movie Universe.

“It felt like a natural fit to show one of our other films available on Netflix,” Amanda Phillips Atkins, EVP of production company MPCA that produced the films, shared about the connections. “That one seed of an idea soon turned into fun opportunity to tie the various worlds together with small easter eggs from movie to movie.”

Netflix even put together a map of just how they all were connected. See it here!

While the Christmas Movie Universe might be glitching a bit, fans are still here for the connections and have some brilliant ideas for the future movies.

Here's How Eight of Netflix's Christmas Movies Including 'A Christmas Prince' & 'The Knight Before Christmas' Are Connected

Netflix has revealed that a handful of their holiday films are actually in the same universe.

Amanda Phillips Atkins, EVP of production company MPCA that produced the films, has revealed that the three movies of A Christmas Prince, Holiday Calendar, The Christmas Inheritance, The Princess Switch and newest movies, The Knight Before Christmas and Holiday in the Wild, are connected.

“It felt like a natural fit to show one of our other films available on Netflix,” she shared recently. “That one seed of an idea soon turned into fun opportunity to tie the various worlds together with small easter eggs from movie to movie.”

The connection actually started with Holiday Calendar, where a glimpse of Christmas Inheritance is seen.

Then, it blossomed into making something more than just a little shot of another movie within the movie.

“We planned to branch out from just having our characters watch each other on TV,” Amanda added. “We thought it would be a great opportunity to build out a whole universe, not just for Aldovia but for the whole world of our Christmas movies.”

“It’s been so fun to watch the reactions as fans discover the tie-ins with each release,” she adds.

Check out how all the movies are connected in the graphic below:

Netflix's 'Knight Before Christmas' Movie Includes a 'Christmas Prince' Easter Egg

It seems Netflix is building an entire universe with its Christmas movies!

The new film The Knight Before Christmas, starring Vanessa Hudgens and Josh Whitehouse, features an Easter Egg for the movie A Christmas Prince, starring Rose McIver and Ben Lamb.

The Christmas Prince franchise takes place in the fictional country Aldovia, though it’s an actual place that is referred to in The Knight Before Christmas.

Emmanuelle Chriqui plays the sister of Vanessa‘s character and while decorating her Christmas tree with her daughter, she picks up a decoration and says, “Your grandma and grandpa picked this up on their trip to Aldovia.”

Rose‘s Queen Amber and Ben‘s King Richard are the rulers of Aldovia and they’re going to have a baby in the upcoming third movie A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby. Watch the new trailer now!

Perhaps we’ll find out one day that Vanessa‘s character Brooke in The Knight Before Christmas is another lookalike from her other Netflix holiday movie The Princess Switch?!
