Admittedly, department stores waste no time in preparing us for the next holiday. As soon as hot cross buns have left the store floor, stockings are placed on every aisle, candy canes draped like fairy lights across the aisles and the shrill notes of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” practically follow customers in and out of every store. Somehow though, we now find ourselves in the grips of summer as the festive period looms large in an otherwise wholly unforgettable year.
While the festive period might be a time for celebrating friends and loved ones, it also goes without saying that the endless stream of office parties, Christmas functions and family dinners is enough to send you crawling back into bed. There are only so many family gatherings one can handle in a day, and when you consider the fact most of us have been in lockdown talking to no one but our own reflection and a grubby looking potato, the social anxiety of this time is hard to undermine. Thankfully, your favourite streaming platforms are here to ensure you spend a little more time focused on yourself, recharging after the exhaustion of last-minute Christmas shopping for a gift that will most likely be returned or exchanged for cash.
With that said, platforms like Disney, Stan, Binge and Netflix are here to ensure you make it through the holidays alive and in good spirits. Delivering a number of classics as well as highly anticipated sequels and original series, there’s something to suit everyone’s entertainment preferences. To help take the guesswork out of what to watch this December, we’ve compiled a list of everything coming to Australian streaming platforms this month. Now there’s nothing left to do but pour a little eggnog, sink back into that couch cushion, and hit play.
