We’ve entered November, which means it’s time for the seasonal debate: when do you start celebrating the winter holidays? The day after Halloween? Post-Thanksgiving? December 1?
If you’re one of those people who like to kick things off early, Netflix has you covered. The streamer released its list of holiday originals for 2020, and some of them are already streaming. Actually, it seems like Netflix definitely expects people to start celebrating on the early side this year. All of their big holiday movies drop in November, including the Princess Switch and Christmas Chronicles sequels and Dolly Parton’s Christmas flick.
