Netflix are releasing four new Christmas movies this year. One of the first to drop, Holidate, proved to be incredibly popular.
Starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey, the film focuses on two strangers, Sloane and Jackson, who - fed up of the judgement from their family members - pledge to be each others date for upcoming Christmas parties and family events.
Country music legend Dolly Parton is also joining in on Netflix's festive celebrations. She is starring in Dolly Parton's Christmas on the Square and she recorded 14 original songs for the extravaganza!
