Netflix will be releasing “A Midwinter’s Tale,” a special holiday episode of The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina,as part of its slate of seasonal programming. Satan riding to the aid of Christmas is a weird twist in the war on Christmas, but okay.
Netflix released a holiday teaser reel today, including a whole bunch of mega-cheesy attempts to compete with Hallmark and Lifetime and every other channel offering its own peppermint-and-sugar-laden buffet. There’s a sequel to last year’s unexpected hit, A Christmas Prince, as well as a Vanessa Hudgens vehicle titled The Princess Switch. Most promising for me, personally: The Great British Baking Show: Holidays and Nailed It: Holiday. But Sabrina is probably the biggest surprise inclusion, although it shouldn’t be, because the fact that it gets dark at 5pm in December is absolutely the devil’s work.
