12 good Netflix movies and shows to watch Thanksgiving weekend

Movie: The Christmas Chronicles

The Christmas Chronicles is one of Netflix’s best holiday movies yet. The film stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus, and it was released in 2018.

After two youngsters hide in Santa’s sleigh, scare him and cause his sleigh to crash, they need to help him get all the presents delivered by Christmas morning. The film was directed by Chris Columbus.

Netflix has already ordered a sequel to this movie, and Russell will be back as Santa Claus in the new film. It’s expected that Christmas Chronicles 2 will arrive next year.

Show: Peaky Blinders

Peaky Blinders season 5 was added to Netflix earlier this month, and I don’t think enough fans realized this series was back with new episodes.

In the new season, Tommy Shelby and the Peaky Blinders are trying to navigate Black Tuesday and the collapse of the economy. No, it’s not good for business.

Peaky Blinders is a great show to watch over the holidays with the family, assuming they’re mostly adults or older teens, because each season only consists of six episodes. It makes for a quick yet satisfying binge-watch.
