As Netflix continues to ramp up its original content, the streaming platform has begun to follow the Hallmark Channel's model for holiday entertainment: more is more. With holiday season commencing earlier and earlier each year, the streaming service is slated to release more than a few new original titles -- that may or may not exist in the same whimsical universe -- in addition to its collection of seasonal classics and cheesy made-for-TV movies. 

But the holidays are a time of year when it's OK to enjoy the treacly joys of unlikely romance and reconnecting with who you really are playing out on screen. To help you feel the holiday cheer, we've rounded up every themed title that'll be available on Netflix for the 2019 holiday season. 

Don't forget to check out the full list of Netflix original releases before the end of the year.
