This year, not only are we getting two Christmas-centric flicks from big movie studios, but we're also getting tons of new content to stream. That's right! Netflix is continuing its Christmas streak and putting out 6 seasonal movies and a TV show. Disney+ is also joining the holiday streaming train and giving us two brand new Christmas movies to watch with the family.
And of course, that's on top of the 91 TV movies coming out on Hallmark, Lifetime, UPtv and more. For a list of those movies, check out my blog post.
Get the popcorn ready, and enjoy!
