Once again, the holiday season is upon us, but while the weather outside turns frightful, Netflix's streaming selection will prove to be so darn delightful that you'll never want to leave the comfort of your own couch. (Unless you simply need to refill your hot cup of cocoa.) But since it can be hard to keep track of all the yule tide entertainment out there, a list of every Christmas TV special coming to Netflix this season is a must for dedicated holiday lovers everywhere. After all, what better way is there to put yourself in the festive mood?

Sure, Netflix movies may get a lot of the attention these days, thanks to last year's release of the widely popular A Christmas Prince — which is a definite must-see for all those who haven't had the pleasure just yet— but the streamer hasn't forgotten about the TV fans in the audience.

Not to be outdone, special TV episodes will also be taking center stage this winter that'll prove to be just as fun to watch as anything currently streaming. So grab your coziest blanket, a mug of eggnog, and check out Netflix's brand new, must-see holiday titles. There's a reason it's called the most wonderful time of the year, after all.

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: A Midwinter's Tale (Dec. 14)

Just in case you thought Sabrina Spellman's adventures were only limited to the Halloween season, Netflix will be releasing a special Christmas-centric episode that the streaming service describes in a press release as follows:

"The Church of Night, like all covens, celebrates the Winter Solstice — the longest night of the year — when families gather around the Yule Fire to sing pagan carols and tell ghost stories. But the holidays are also a time for guests and visitors — both welcome and unwelcome — you never know what might come down the chimney..."

Could some of those visitors include one or two characters from Riverdale? Interested viewers will just have to wait and see. But regardless, there's plenty to look forward to this holiday season. So sit back, relax, and let the merry streaming commence!
