If you’re anything like me, then you absolutely love spending time watching TV shows and movies during the holidays. I hope you can find one of your kind from the list above.
Though, this list is not scientific and in fact, many of the shows are not even on TV anymore, but you can find all of them on OTT platforms.
However, these are the shows I believe have the best chance of being “keepers” (for later enjoyment on a cold winter’s night). If you haven’t seen some of these shows, you really should give them another look before the year is out.
