There are some excellent Netflix Originals heading our way in December. Getting a little overwhelmed? Here are the five to focus on right away.

It’s natural to be overwhelmed by the many Netflix Originals heading our way in December. There are 53 original series and movies by my count. Yes, you read that number right! Netflix has upped its game in the originals department, but that can leave a lot of content to get through during the month.

You need help to keep the overwhelming nature to a minimum. That’s what we’re here for. Here are five to get started with, making sure you watch them as soon as they’re released.

5. A Christmas Prince: The Royal Baby

Let’s start with a Christmas movie, and it’s none other than the third installment of the Christmas Prince movies. The Royal Baby is on his or her way, but there’s a treaty to sign first. When the treaty goes missing, there’s a risk of a curse over the soon-to-be-born baby. Can Amber and her friend work together to prevent it?

4. Marriage Story

Marriage Story stars Adam Driver and Scarlet Johannson. It’s a movie that isn’t going to bring too many positive Christmas feelings, but it’s a movie you need to check out regardless.

As they turn to creative extremes, their friends and family members are forced to choose sides.
