The coziest season of the year is almost upon us, and with it comes a brand new Netflix slate of delightfully cheesy, emotionally gutting holiday movies to put us in the most festive of Christmas moods. 

November and December are going to be chock full of seasonal treats including the highly anticipated sequel to The Christmas Chronicles, a Princess Switch sequel starring not one, not two, but three Vanessa Hudgens, a new Dolly Parton musical with Christine Baranski and Jenifer Lewis starring alongside Parton, an Emma Roberts romcom, and a new feature starring Forest Whitaker as whimsical inventor whose granddaughter helps him rediscover his love for the holiday season, just to name a few.

For a full list of Netflix's holiday specials, including first look images and trailers, keep reading below. (And maybe after you're done bookmarking, start picking out Christmas cookie recipes to make each premiere just a little bit sweeter.)

With a mutual disdain for the holidays, and assuring themselves that they have no romantic interest in the other, they make the perfect team.
