2. Room

Room has been the winner of awards, responsible for commercial and critical praise, and rightly so. Room follows the story of Joy and Jack, a woman and a boy being held captive in a single room, which Jack believes is the entire world as he has never left it. Upon escaping, Joy and Jack must learn to adapt to the new world, as the hardest challenges may still lie ahed of them. Room comes to Netflix 1 December.

3. It’s a Wonderful Life

Ok, before you say anything, stop right there. It’s a Wonderful Life may be one of the best, if not the best Christmas movies of all time. We follow James Stewart as George Bailey, whose suicide attempt on Christmas Eve brings about his guardian angel, who takes him back in time on a journey that will change his life forever. In the spirit of Christmas, it’s quite hard to pass this classic up. Catch it on Netflix 8 December.

The Crown is back, as we continue to follow the trials and tribulations of Queen Elizabeth II, as she continues to battle threats to the monarchy, which may prove to be one of the greatest challenges for her yet. Catch the second season 8 December, exclusively on Netflix.
