Netflix Christmas movies
As the Christmas season approaches, Netflix is once again stocking up on festive movies from outside its own studio. Also, this year’s November haul is the biggest we’ve tracked. Netflix’s “New on Netflix” newsletter lists 26 licensed holiday titles, up from 23 last November and 16 the year before.
We should also note that Netflix Kids & Family is adding another limited time playlist on November 2nd called “Holiday Magic Playlist.” Basically, featuring the Christmas episodes of My Little Pony, Hilda, Johnny Test, The Smurfs and others.
Generally, many of these Christmas movies are recent romantic comedies from indie distributors. Netflix always struggles to get the biggest Christmas movies around this time of year.
The headline-grabber is Hallmark, which hands over the first two seasons of Mistletoe Murders days before Season 3 premieres on Hallmark Channel, while Lionsgate’s theatrical hit The Best Christmas Pageant Ever rounds out the big names. Six of the 27 streamed on Netflix last Christmas and are returning; the rest are new to Netflix in the US.
