Settle in, because it’s just about Christmas holidays. With the break comes enough time to catch up on all those shows you’d been meaning to watch, so here are the best shows to binge and movies to watch on Netflix over the holidays.
The Irishman
Martin Scorsese has copped a Golden Globes nomination for Best Director for his work on The Irishman. Frank Sheeran is a World War II veteran who gets involved with Russell Bufalino and his Pennsylvania crime family before becoming a top hitman. The movie spans decades, and tells the story of the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, one of the greatest unsolved mysteries in American history.
Nailed It! Holiday!
The second season of Nailed It! Holiday! Is out, and it’s one the best Netflix shows for the holidays. Three contestants who can’t cook very well are asked to recreate incredibly complex holiday treats, and it goes badly every single time. It’s the only cooking show that won’t make you feel bad about your own cooking ability.
Marriage Story
This movie is everywhere at the moment. Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson play a married couple going through a painful divorce. Up for awards in six categories, this film has the most amount of Golden Globe nominations for the year.
Gilmore Girls
It’s a classic we know and love. If you want to snuggle up on the couch and rewatch something that feels warm and familiar, Gilmore Girls is the one for you. Lorelai Gilmore and her daughter, Rory live in Stars Hollow, along with some pretty wild people.
The Knight Before Christmas
Feel like a cheesy, low stakes Christmas romcom? Yeah you do. The Knight Before Christmas tells the story of a medieval knight that time travels to the present, and falls in love with a recently single schoolteacher. Seriously, her literal knight in shining armour is dropped on her doorstep, and it’s great.
The Crown
If you found yourself watching the trainwreck Prince Andrew interview and wondering what everybody else in Buckingham Palace is is like, then Netflix have you sorted. The third season of The Crown is out now, and picks up with Harold Wilson’s election as prime minister.
Klaus
One for everybody in the family, Klaus is about Jesper, the worst student at the postal academy. He’s sent off to work in a frozen town called Smeerensburg where he meets Klaus, a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys. One act of kindness can have an amazing effect, and Klaus is proof of that.
