Three Christmassy Netflix releases to keep an eye out for in November
Christmas is still a month or more away, but Netflix’s surge of festive content will have you convinced otherwise.
With the holiday season fast approaching, Netflix viewers have every reason to celebrate because the streaming homepage is glowing with exciting holiday entries. Although this watchlist includes only movies, it still deserves maximum hype considering we’re well past the first week of November.
If it feels too early, well, it’s never really too early to bring in the festive feels as long as it helps restore faith, find love, and spread laughter. Interestingly, Netflix’s November watchlist delivers it all at once, with stories that illuminate distinct aspects of Christmas.
So, if you’re ready for a pre-holiday ride, here are three Christmassy Netflix releases to keep an eye out for in November.
Three Christmassy Netflix releases to watch out for in November
The Gospel of Christmas (Tyler Perry, 2026)
Tyler Perry returns to Netflix just in time for the holiday season with The Gospel of Christmas, releasing on November 11th. The musical Christmas movie follows Isaac and his wife, Rebecca, as they inherit his family’s historic but dilapidated church in a broken New York City neighbourhood that faces imminent foreclosure ahead of Christmas. While personally struggling with a loss of faith and confidence, Isaac embarks on a mission to revive the church despite local disinterest and resistance.
As Isaac and Rebecca try to rebuild the church, they navigate deep personal and family trials. The Gospel of Christmas centres on their journey as they reconcile faith and rediscover the power of prayer and gospel music as they fight to save the church, which turns into a fight to save the community, forcing Isaac to push back on personal doubts, blind temptations, and those who wish for the ministry’s downfall.
The Christmas Switch (Adam Pålsson, 2026)
Just a day after, Netflix plans to drop the light-hearted, feel-good Swedish holiday film The Christmas Switch. So, you’d better be here for it! The festive rom-com follows sisters Mathilda and Freddie, whose personalities and lives are poles apart. By that, we mean Mathilda is a small-town homebody who never left the village, while Freddie is a workaholic city girl who doesn’t know how to slow down.
Right before Christmas, a sudden twist ends up swapping their lives. As they step into each other’s wildly different worlds, they face unforeseen challenges before they can even make sense of everything. The Christmas Switch centres on Mathilda and Freddie, whose life swap transforms into a journey of transformation, easing confrontations with past choices and unexpected love.
Guarding Stars (Elizabeth Allen Rosenbaum, 2026)
Another high-profile Christmassy rom-com releasing this month is Guarding Stars. Premiering on November 18th, the Netflix adaptation of Katherine Center’s novel The Bodyguard follows no-nonsense, steadfast executive protection agent Hannah Brooks as she’s tasked with protecting Jack Stapleton, a charming, reclusive action star dealing with a dangerous stalker.
To avoid raising alarm in the family, Hannah must pretend to be Jack’s girlfriend rather than his bodyguard during a close family holiday visit to a family ranch in Montana. But the more they spend time together and continue the act, the more their boundaries begin to blur. Guarding Stars centres on Hannah and Jack, whose fake-dating arrangement turns into real, unexpected feelings, giving viewers just the rom-com feels the season calls for.
