Merry Christmas! Wishing everyone the happiest of holidays and all the best in the new year!
As we wrap up this season of holiday movies, I hope you found some new favorites to enjoy! And for anyone who is still looking for more movies to watch to finish off the holidays, Xumo Play recently added some titles from Reel One Entertainment that are new to Canada this year, including two movies that just premiered on Lifetime in the US.
Now available to stream on Xumo Play in Canada are: A Perfect Christmas Carol, Christmas at Carbell Family Farm, Merry Magic Christmas, Royally Yours This Christmas, Sincerely Truly Christmas, Take a Chance at Christmas, and Unforgettable Christmas. For anyone unfamiliar with Xumo Play, it offers free ad-supported streaming and is available in Canada via Rogers and Shaw devices including select smart TVs.
Also, for anyone looking for 2024 premieres from OWN, all three new movies – 24 Karat Christmas, Mistletoe & Matrimony and A Season to Remember are now available to stream free from OWN’s YouTube channel.
And finally, for those who missed A Carpenter Christmas Romance on E! this past weekend, it is now available on-demand from CTV Life!
