It’s that feel-good time of the year when all you want to do is stay in with a cup of hot cocoa and watch Christmas movies with the family while it snows outside. Netflix is gifting us with a lot of new content this month, including original films and series.
Fan favorite series You will be returning for a second season and The Witcher, based on the popular novel, will also be a hit with fans. Check out what’s on the menu this month as you sip on eggnog and mulled wine.
Deck the Halls with Originals
If you love the Christmas Prince movies, this one will make you royally happy. In A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby (Dec. 5), Christmas brings the ultimate gift to Aldovia: a royal baby. But first, Queen Amber must help her family and kingdom by finding a missing peace treaty.
In a new series titled Home for Christmas (Dec. 5), we see perpetually single Johanne who is fed up with the constant comments on her relationship status, and so she starts looking for a partner to bring home for Christmas.
Netflix original film Marriage Story (Dec. 6) is a film that premiered at TIFF and received rave reviews. Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Noah Baumbach directed this incisive and compassionate look at a marriage coming apart and a family staying together.
Ryan Reynolds… (do I have your attention now?) The good-looking Canadian stars in the gritty globe-trotting action adventure from director Michael Bay, titled 6 Underground (Dec. 13). Six untraceable agents go totally off the grid. They’ve buried their pasts so they can change the future. With Reynolds starring, we say abs-olutely!
Based on the popular fantasy novel of the same name, Netflix original series The Witcher (Dec. 20) follows the witcher Geralt, a mutated monster hunter who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than beasts. Oh, and did I mention it stars Henry Cavill?
Our favorite stalker is back for a second season of You (Dec. 26). This time around we see that Joe is laying low and hiding from his ex in Los Angeles. Can he deal with his past and make a fresh start, this time with the right woman? Doubtful. But let’s watch to find out.
Christmas Cheers
Of course, Christmas needs some holiday spirit. Netflix will be streaming How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Dec. 4) and A Cinderella Story: Christmas Wish (Dec. 1) among others.
Naughty or Nice?
Whether you’ve been naughty or nice, you can spice up your holiday movie playlist with these fan favorite flicks. Oscar-winning film The Shape of Water (Dec. 1) is my personal favorite. You can sing along to tunes as Hugh Jackman wins us over in The Greatest Showman (Dec. 1). You can laugh your heart out with Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (Dec. 5). If you’re into action, there’s Terminator Genisys (Dec. 1) for you.
We Heart the Holidays
With the holidays, it’s time to cozy up to your partner and spend some quality time watching rom-coms. If you’re single, you can enjoy your independence and still enjoy these classics with your squad. There’s Notting Hill (Dec. 1), Made of Honor (Dec. 31), Tom Hanks’ The Terminal (Dec. 1) and Leo and Kate in Titanic (Dec. 1).
Have a warm, wonderful and happy holiday season! Merry Christmas! ~Marriska Fernandes

Netflix had some fantastic original TV shows in 2019, and they ranged across every genre. It’s really hard to pick just 10 to name the “best” Netflix Originals of any year, since we all have our favorites for different reasons. Not to mention there being so many options from the past 12 months.
