A Dog’s Perfect Christmas arrives on Netflix on Wednesday 4 November, and the Christmas movies November 2026 season is now officially under way, with new holiday films arriving across Hallmark Channel, Netflix, UPtv, Great American Family, Peacock and The Roku Channel during the week of 2 to 8 November, according to Cup of Soul’s day-by-day guide published 2 November.
What is new this week
The week’s holiday slate includes The Holiday Spark on The Roku Channel, The Holiday Hitman — a digital rental or purchase release on 3 November starring Nick Sagar and Montana Manning, about a hitman trying to save his marriage with a perfect family holiday until bounty hunters interrupt — and, on 5 November, Second Chance Holiday on The Roku Channel, starring Ayesha Curry as a dating expert reconnecting with her high school sweetheart, played by Matthew Daddario. Also on 5 November, Snowbody Like You premieres on UPtv at 8 p.m., and Chocolate for Christmas premieres on Hallmark Channel, headlined by Nikki DeLoach and Juan Pablo Di Pace, according to Cup of Soul. A Dog’s Perfect Christmas, the Netflix family film, anchors the streaming side on 4 November, alongside the week’s broader slate that includes Stick Season 2 and Black Doves Season 2.
What is not new yet — and why that matters
Lifetime’s new Christmas movie slate does not begin until 28 November, so there are no new Lifetime holiday premieres this week, according to Cup of Soul. However, Lifetime Movie Club is adding 70 library holiday titles beginning 3 November. Disney+ and Hulu have no new Christmas movie premieres listed for 2 to 8 November in their announced schedules, according to the same guide. That pattern is normal for early November: Hallmark, UPtv and Great American Family start early, Netflix drops its first wave, and the bigger Christmas slates — including Tyler Perry’s The Gospel of Christmas on Netflix on 11 November and Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol in theatres on 13 November, according to YourChristmasCountdown — arrive later in the month. For viewers who want holiday viewing now, the week offers a choice between cosy romance, family drama and action-comedy with a Christmas setting. For everyone else, the 2 to 8 November guide is best read as a warm-up: the main Christmas rush is still two weeks away.
