STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- So even though that stash of Halloween candy may remain, it’s already time to start getting the popcorn ready, as Netflix has announced its 2020 holiday original programming lineup.
The season actually started last month for the streaming service, when it aired “Holidate,” starring Emma Roberts and Luke Bracey. When two strangers meet one particularly bad Christmas, they make a pact to be each other’s “holidate” for every festive occasion throughout the next year.
