It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Or, at least, that one day in December is. The rest of the month is largely a mess of shopping, mandatory social events, haphazard rushing around, and general exhaustive pandemonium. Lucky for you then that Netflix has you more than covered on the few occasions you get some spare time to yourself, thanks to their list of December releases which somehow manages to be both holly AND jolly.
Firstly, to address the elephant in the room: Love Actually is absolutely on the list. Of course it is. Why would it not be? The now-almost mandatory seasonal viewing will be available from December 7th, when the classic Yuletide flick arrives on Netflix to mark the official start of the holiday season (it’s the rules).
Elsewhere, There’s a shedload of festive fun from the likes of The Holiday, as well as Christmas specials from Nailed It!, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and Schitt’s Creek, which should keep your halls decked and your bells jingled.
But if Christmas ain’t your thing, there’s plenty of other fare that’ll get you through the month.
The hotly anticipated Springsteen on Broadway concert film arrives on December 16th, capturing Bruce Springsteen‘s acclaimed and absurdly sold-out Broadway run on film. There’s an incredibly bizarre-sounding doco called The American Meme which follows Paris Hilton and The Fat Jew for some reason. And movie highlights including the likes of Paul, American Graffiti, and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom should sort you well and truly out.
But really, Love Actually.
December 7th.
