Netflix has confirmed its slate for November 2026 , and the holiday season starts here. There are plenty of new movies and TV shows landing on Netflix this month, and there’s a festive feeling to plenty of the arrivals. However, if you’re more of a Scrooge-type, don’t worry; there’s also loads to watch that isn’t covered in Christmas wrapping paper.

Starting with the seasonal picks, “A Dog’s Perfect Christmas” looks at the holidays through the eyes of a lovable pooch companion, and it’s based on a novel by the author of “A Dog’s Purpose.” Or for a different kind of festival pick, “Black Doves” season 2 mixes wintry locations with a gripping spy storyline and stars Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw.

If it’s still early in your household for Christmas-themed content, be sure to check out “Heartland,” a new mystery thriller series set in the country music capital. Or “The Altruists,” a limited series based on the true story of one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history.…
