Amazon Prime Video is one of the most popular streaming platforms today, alongside the likes of Netflix and Disney+. The service appears to be getting into the festive season this week (beginning December 13th, 2021), as holiday releases are on the schedule, as well as some other exciting features...
With Love
The first release of this week is a TV series titled With Love, which arrives on the platform on December 17th. The show will run for five episodes, and each one will focus on a different holiday throughout one year.
The narrative will follow the Diaz family as they go through life and deal with the adversity that comes with it; audiences will see how life’s struggles affect their relationships, love lives and more.
With Love seems to be centred on the wonder that is life, and the way that things beyond out our control can change our lives in the biggest ways.
Boxing Day
Also releasing on December 17th, Boxing Day will be coming to Prime Video.
The title sees British author who has been living in America, Melvin (Aml Ameen), return home to the UK to introduce his new fiancée, Lisa (Aja Naomi King), to his British-Caribbean family. However, their relationship runs into complications when Lisa finds out more about the life Melvin had before he lived in America.
Christmas Is Cancelled
Christmas Is Cancelled is a festive comedy that sees Hayley Orrantia star as Emma Lockheart, a girl who spends every Christmas with her father.
However, this year’s plans are set to change, as Emma learns that her dad is dating her high school enemy, which leads to an awkward and rather tense Christmas holiday.
Joy For Christmas
The final festive movie of the week is Joy For Christmas. A part of the Great American Christmas series, this title will release onto Amazon Prime on December 19th.
The film sees a publicist who attempts to introduce a famous athlete to the spirit of Christmas, in the hopes that he can aid her in helping her save her family’s charity,
