Netflix have released a list of their Christmas films & shows this year
Popcorn and chocolate advent calendars at the ready!
Last updated 19th Nov 2021
Nothing screams Christmas time more than a twinkling tree, cosy cup of hot chocolate, a mountain of wrapping and a festive flick on the telly.
With just over ten weeks to go until the big day, Netflix shared some exciting news.
They will be releasing 23 original Christmas inspired shows and films from as early as next month!
The first to arrive will be a film called The Claus Family, which centres on a young boy who hates Christmas. As if that’s possible!
If you’re more of a classic Christmas rom-com kind of fan, look no further than Love Hard. The film lands on November 5th and focuses on a journalist who travels thousands of miles to surprise someone she met online.
And yes, The Princess Switch will be back with a third film, starring Vanessa Hudgens. The Princess Switch 3: Romancing The Star will see the High School Musical star play three roles, Queen Margaret, Princess Stacy and Margaret’s look-alike cousin Fiona.
