Here’s What’s Coming to Netflix in December 2018
Published November 20, 2018 at 11:20 pm
The winter season is almost officially here. For some Canadians, this may be an incredibly exciting thing, especially if you partake in winter sports, but for others this can be very daunting.
Anyone who has experienced a Canadian winter knows that it’s not just a few short months of cold weather. It’s endless days of shivering, and wishing the sun and warm weather would come back (just me?).
However, one good thing about the winter season is that during it you don’t have feel guilty about curling up on the couch and watching a good movie, or binging on your favourite TV show.
Luckily, to get us all through the first part of winter, Netflix Canada has recently announced what’s coming to the streaming service in December.
Here’s what’s coming to Netflix Canada in December 2018.
