Get Someone Entertainment for the Holidays with Netflix

65 Shares

I am a strong supporter of interruption-free binge watching so it’s no surprise why I am including Netflix (visit site here )on my gift guide. If there was ever a gift that the whole family could enjoy together it is TV, documentaries, and movies on demand.

Of course, I think you would have to be living under a rock to not know that Netflix is bringing back Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life. I want to say that I was a hard-core fan while it was still playing weekly on TV but that is not the case. I jumped on the bandwagon when my older daughter put it on one day and we started to binge.

The relationships within the show were refreshing and honest. The fighting & disagreements between Lorelai and her mom Emily, the love between Rory and Lorelai and just the amazingly intertwined relationships of small town living and watching people grow up in front of you on the screen.

And so we are watching it yet again in order to prepare ourselves for what I can only imagine will be a candy and takeout fueled tv marathon on November 25 the when new episodes are released.

Netflix Shows to Watch

Maybe Gilmore Girls is not really your jam but are looking for some other great new shows to watch?

Season 2 of Fuller House will be happening on December 9^th, 2016 just in time for some good family-friendly TV.

Netflix’s Barack Obama Biopic “BARRY” is coming to a TV near you on December 16^th, 2016

And one of my favourite comedians of all time, Dave Chappelle, will be releasing 3 new comedy specials for Netflix in 2017.

Really now is the time to give a Netflix subscription to someone you love, how could you not with all of this great content?

Giveaway

We are giving away a 3 Month Netflix subscription. Open to Canada and will run until December 13, 2016.

The Gilmore Girls reboot! I don’t know if it actually counts as a “holiday” show but it’s being released on Black Friday (which means, after my hectic trip to the mall to see what Black Friday looks like in Canada since it’s pretty new here, I’ll be able to curl up by the fire and catch up with my girls!). I grew up watching Rory grow up so I’m so excited for this.
