It's time to get excited! Not only are there a bunch of new movies being added to Netflix for November, but the new additions are dominated by holiday movies! There's just something about having an entire lineup of cheerful and inspiring Christmas movies to watch, and we absolutely love that Netflix has jumped on the cheesy Christmas movie bandwagon for 2020. There are holiday film options — for kids, grown ups, romantics, skeptics and even adventurers — coming to the streaming service, and to be honest, that's enough to keep our apps open this month.
Believe it or not, though, there's even more to look forward to on Netflix in the coming weeks than Christmas movies. There are a bunch of new Netflix Original films landing on the streaming service, a brand-new action flick, starring genre royalty Bruce Willis, a few fantastic must-see dramas, and some excellent films returning to Netflix that had previously been removed. There are even new offerings for anyone in need of a good laugh at the end of what's been an undoubtedly stressful year.
Our suggestion? Round up the crew and plan a few family movie nights to keep everyone happy and entertained during fall nights at home. Keep reading to find out all the movies coming to Netflix in November that are worth watching, and maybe even watching again.
