There’s nothing more festive than sitting in flannel pyjamas, scarfing our faces with gingerbread cookies and crying along to our favourite holiday flicks as the snow gently falls outside.

Here is everything coming (like Netflix Original film Dumplin‘ starring Jennifer Aniston and a holiday special of Nailed It!) and going (like our fave Disney movie Moana *sobs*) to Netflix Canada this month!
