Christmas comes early on Netflix: Holiday movies to stream

Whether it’s Bony M’s Little Drummer Boy playing in Shoprite, Mariah Carey’s White Christmas album on repeat in Edgars or Luther Vandross urging you to kiss somebody to his Mistletoe Jam, the signs are there that the festive season is again upon us.

Storefronts have started being decked out with the latest variety of baubles, trinkets and trees and kids are already gravitating towards them like deer caught in the headlights of a car.

And speaking of kids and variety, parents will soon be pulling their hair out to keep the little ones entertained over the December break.

Luckily Christmas has come early on Netflix as the streaming giant has released a massive menu of festive film fun for adults and kids alike.

From Kristin Davis (Sex and the City) and Rob Lowe (View from the Top) saving elephants in Zambia to super monsters trying to save Christmas and a medieval knight zapped into modern times by an evil sorceress – there’s no shortage of wholesome family viewing from November.
