Let Netflix be your true streaming love this season: the service is offering up 14 new holiday-centric additions, including six movies, five series, five family-centric titles, and a partridge in a pear tree.
The most prestigious of these is probably Aardman animation studio’s newest feature Robin Robin, available to watch on November 24. You can check out the fuzzy trailer below, featuring the voices of Gillian Anderson and Richard E. Grant as painstakingly animated rodents and birds. Bless.
But don’t worry, there’s also plenty of splashy Christmas-themed trash to cackle at over a mug of mulled wine. Available November 18, The Princess Switch 3: Romancing The Star focuses on the series’ most flamboyant Vanessa Hudgens lookalike, Fiona. Netflix better come up with a fourth Hudgens doppelganger before the next movie.
It’s good to know that we can count on Netflix for more of this flirty and festive programming—and with some fairly impressive celeb names as our romantic leads, too. Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes star in A Castle For Christmas, Jimmy O. Yang catfishes Nina Dobrev in the humorously titled Love Hard, and the proudly gay Christmas rom-com Single All The Way features Kathy Najimy, Jennifer Coolidge, and Barry Bostwick amongst its supporting cast.
Little ones can be kept busy during the holidays with the fantastical A Boy Called Christmas or Waffles + Mochi’s Holiday Feast, as just two of Netflix’s kid-centric additions for the holidays. And if reality TV is more your thing, there’s a Blown Away: Christmas special and School of Chocolate, an eight episode dessert contest that’s only tangentially related to the reason for the season.
Finally, season 2 of The Witcher arrives at the Netflix Christmas party on December 17: since it features a bunch of elves and snow, we feel it’s a worthy inclusion.
