While it’s no secret that Hallmark Channel has pretty much cornered the market on heartwarming Christmas movies, Netflix has been no slouch when it’s come to serving up yuletide fare for the holidays.
That’s definitely the case this year, and to prove it the streamer has just unveiled a new trailer featuring a sneak peek at the four new Christmas movies that will be debuting later this year: “A Dog’s Perfect Christmas,” starring Dennis Quaid, Jennifer Tilly, Mary Steenburgen and Milo Ventimiglia; “Guarding Stars” with Leighton Meester, Jared Padalecki and “The Way Home” star Andie MacDowell; “In a Holidaze” with Maddie Ziegler and Rob Lowe; and “Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas,” starring Fantasia Barrino and Tank.
