You’ve received at least one of those Christmas letters.
The annual mass-printed bragfests that go something like this:
“George accepted a professorship at Cambridge last spring. My second novel has spent six weeks on the bestseller list. Sylvie’s startup was featured on a national talk show, while Bill graduated summa cum laude in June. A highlight of our year was a three-week summer visit to the French Riviera. We plan to spend Christmas season skiing in Aspen…”
Clearly, Netflix has had some experience with them too.
That’s why I’m looking forward to their new movie, Best.Christmas.Ever!, scheduled for release on November 16th.
I’ll publish a full review once I’ve seen it. But doesn’t this sound like a great comedy?

Netflix’s synopsis: every year, Charlotte receives a Christmas newsletter from her old college friend, Jackie. As Charlotte deals with the life of a “mere mortal”, Jackie’s missives appear to paint the picture of a life as perfect as the inside of a snow globe.
But then…the unexpected happens.
Suddenly, Charlotte and her family find themselves on Jackie’s doorstep, just days before Christmas. And Charlotte sees an opportunity: can she prove to herself that Jackie’s life isn’t as “sparkly” as her press?
Heather Graham, Brandy, Jason Biggs and Matt Cedeño star in this one, and you can bet I’m going to break out the popcorn and get back to you with a full report.
Best.Christmas.Ever! releases at 12:00 am, Pacific time, Thursday, November 16th on Netflix.
