Christmas is just around the corner, and Netflix isn’t shying away from getting into the spirit of the holiday season. This week, the streaming giant will be stocking subscribers’ stockings (or rather their streaming libraries) with tons of new titles. Subscribers searching for their next binge will be treated to a total of 19 new TV shows, movies, and original series and films, giving viewers plenty to watching over winter break.
Of the new additions, 15 of them are Netflix originals, proving that the streamer is making a push to amplify its original content before the year comes to an end. Many of the new additions also join the streamer’s list of holiday titles, which officially launched in October. New additions to that list have been rolling out ever since and will continue to be added to the streaming library in the lead up to Christmas. You can view the full holiday lineup by clicking here.
