With the calendar turning to November, Netflix is officially kicking off the holiday season by rolling out a number of Christmas-themed movies and shows on the streaming platform next month.

One new notable holiday movie coming to Netflix next month is “Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,” which is described as a “musical holiday special” that will include songs from John Legend. 

“Decades after his trusted apprentice betrayed him, a once-joyful toymaker finds new hope when his kind and curious granddaughter comes into his life,” according to the Netflix film’s description.

The musical, which stars the likes of Forest Whitaker and Keegan-Michael Key, will arrive on Netflix on Nov. 13. 

Country music star Dolly Parton will star in a new holiday-themed film called “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square,” which is scheduled to hit the streaming platform on Nov. 22.

Parton’s movie tells the story of a small town facing tough times around the holiday season after “a cold-hearted woman tries to sell her hometown's land.”

Parton provides the entire soundtrack for the Christmas musical.

Another new notable holiday film on Netflix is “The Christmas Chronicles: Part Two”, which stars Kurt Russell reprising his role as Santa Claus.

“Unhappy over her mom’s new relationship, a now-teenage Kate runs away and lands at the North Pole, where a naughty elf is plotting to cancel Christmas,” according to the Netflix movie’s description.

The comedy film, which is set to arrive on the streaming platform on Nov. 25, is a sequel to “The Christmas Chronicles,” which came out on Netflix in 2018.

As new titles arrive to Netflix in November, many will be departing next month too. Some notable films that will be leaving the streaming platform include “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective,” “The Patriot,” “Spaceballs,” and “Sleepless in Seattle.”
