The festive and cheerful holiday collection from Netflix is arriving this month, featuring new movies and TV specials all through the Christmas period.
A Merry Little Ex-Mas, starring Alicia Silverstone and Oliver Hudson, will launch the streaming service’s holiday films on Wednesday, November 12. Minka Kelly’s Champagne Problems will be available later in November.
“I’ve always wanted to make a rom-com,” Kelly, 45, shared with People in October. “Christmas rom-coms bring the most cheerful and heartwarming experiences that we anticipate each year. No matter how many times you’ve watched them, they never become tiresome.”
In addition to celebratory holiday movies, Netflix is also launching new seasons of a couple of its baking programs, plus a special episode of Meghan Markle’s With Love, Meghan.
