Everything Christmas-y coming to Netflix in 2024
Netflix has released its holiday slate for 2024, which includes titles like “Hot Frosty,” “Spellbound,” and “A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter.”
Halloween is officially over, which means it’s basically Christmas. And Netflix is here to speed that transition along.
On Nov. 1, the streaming service announced its slate of holiday titles, which includes a wide variety of movies, TV shows, and even games. If you like cheesy Christmas rom-coms, get ready for Lindsay Lohan in Our Little Secret, as well as her Mean Girls co-star Lacey Chabert in Hot Frosty. (About a hot Frosty the Snowman, duh!) More in the mood for holiday animation? Flicks like Spellbound and That Christmas have you covered.
There’s so much more where that came from, including Christmas Day football, a new season of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays, and a Sabrina Carpenter Christmas special. Here, in chronological order, are all the Christmas-y goodies coming to Netflix in 2024.

Now, it’s a race against the clock for Layla to secure her fairytale ending. But when sparks fly with the concierge (Devale Ellis) she hires to help her out, she may just have to re-evaluate what she truly wants.
