The Christmas countdown has begun! With less than 45 days to go, we have rounded up all the new original holiday movies and series that you can now start streaming on Netflix, as well as ones to watch out for in December. Check it out below! ~Marriska Fernandes
Holiday Romance
Operation Christmas Drop follows Congressional aide Erica Miller (Kat Graham), who flies to an island military base in order to determine whether the good deeds they’re doing for the people of 56 different islands is worth the cost. She meets Captain Andrew Jantz (Alexander Ludwig), who is assigned the task of showing her around. You know what happens next, but you have to watch to find out.
Cute new teen series Dash & Lily is a whirlwind holiday romance between cynical Dash (Austin Abrams) and optimistic Lily (Midori Francis), who exchange notes in a notebook they pass back and forth at locations all across New York City.
Home for Christmas is another love-centered holiday series — the single ladies and gentlemen can surely relate to this one. Season one premiered last year and season two streams in December. This comedy series follows 30-year-old Johanne (Ida Elise Broch), who has been perpetually single and her relationship status is always a topic of discussion at family dinners. During a family get-together, she lies about having a boyfriend and so goes on a 24-day hunt to bring a boyfriend home for Christmas.
Spreading Holiday Cheer
Besides romance, there are holiday-themed films and series that teach us important lessons. They bring us closer together while spreading holiday cheer. Isn’t that what the season is all about? Here to remind us about what truly matters is some cheerful, joyful content.
An imaginary world comes to life in Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey (Nov. 13), a new film about legendary toymaker Jeronicus Jangle (Forest Whitaker), whose trusted apprentice (Keegan-Michael Key) steals his most prized creation. It’s up to his bright and inventive granddaughter and a long-forgotten invention to heal old wounds and reawaken the magic within.
Everyone’s favorite legendary country singer is back with the new film Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square (Nov. 22), featuring 14 original songs. After her father’s death, a cold-hearted woman named Regina Fuller (Christine Baranski) tries to sell her hometown’s land to a mall developer, ending the seasonal Christmas cheer in the town. Can music, magic and memories change her mind? With the guidance of an angel (Dolly Parton), she just might have a change of heart.
The Holiday Movies that Made Us is a series that will unwrap the real stories behind our favorite iconic holiday films: Elf and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Coming in December!
For the Kids
In the animated special Alien Xmas (Nov. 20), extraterrestrials attempt to steal Earth’s gravity in order to take everything on the planet, but a small alien named X can help save the world.
