#1 8-bit Christmas
This heart-warming tale centres on ten-year-old Jake Doyle’s herculean quest to get the latest and greatest video game system for Christmas. Filled with the familiar nostalgia that every 80s kid will recognise, Jake’s epic adventure is a comical, disaster-filled walk down memory lane. Stars Neil Patrick Harris, Winslow Fegley, June Diane Raphael, David Cross, and Steve Zahn.
#2 Santa Inc.
In this new stop-motion animated series, a female elf working in Santa's Workshop dreams of becoming Santa Claus someday. However, this is not your usual festive tale as it reveals the complex interplay of power struggles, manipulation and gender disparity in the North Pole. Definitely for mature viewers! Stars Seth Rogen, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Grossman and Gabourey Sidibe.
