3) Hot Frosty (November 13)
Before the onset of OTT platforms, most cinephiles would get their holiday movie fix from Hallmark channels that are known for their feel-good movies. But nowadays, OTT platforms also offer a variety of Christmas-themed movies that feature likable characters and heartfelt narratives that celebrate everything good about the festive season.
