The romantic TV series to recover for New Year’s Eve

In addition to films like Holidate with Emma Roberts, In the shoes of a princess with Vanessa Hudgens or the Netflix original Let it snow, there are some television series suitable for addressing the holiday season. Most popular theme: the desperate and constant search for love. In addition to the insatiable desire to close in a Spa, decorate the house and fill the garden with lights. American and Norwegian stories alternate between children and adults, “grinches” who refuse to find love, attractive romantic challenges and classic teenage stories.

But here are the titles to recover before midnight on December 31st.

I’ll be back for Christmas
What better Christmas present than finding out that your ex girlfriend is now with your brother? This is what the young Bastian, a desperate musician with a particularly irritable character, has to endure during the holidays. Back home in the German Eifel region, he has to deal with all those secrets that have sprung up and hidden while he was living his life in Berlin. Three episodes of 45 minutes each, in which the difficult relationship with his family, a love that broke his heart, a Christmas to be rebuilt and even a bit of comedy that never hurts for a German series.

Christmas with a stranger (available now the second season)
“Christmas with a Stranger” is a Norwegian Christmas series, but don’t let that stop you. Perhaps the first episode may sound strange, as cold as the temperature of that place, but the more you go on, the more it becomes impossible not to see how far the protagonist is willing to go in order to find someone to introduce to the family. And this is certainly one of the reasons to wait for the second season, available on Netflix from December 18th. The ingredients are the most common: a dating app, parents insistent on seeing it settled, friends already made with a family and the hope that has now been gone for several years. But joyous Christmas series don’t always end as we expect.

Dash & Lily
Dash and Lily are two teenagers from New York whose meeting hangs by the threads of a romantic and mysterious treasure hunt until the last episode. Convinced by her brother to get out of her “safe zone”, Lily leaves a book of riddles in the neighborhood library, found by Dash. “Challenge accepted” as Barney would say in “How I Met Your Mother”. The two begin a relationship lasting 8 episodes of 30 minutes each made up of mysteries, invitations, old letters and secrets written between the pages of a diary. No kisses, hugs, looks and smiles, but only parallel stories that intertwine in the image that each has of the other. A kind of modernization of the old letters. He invites her to the most secret places of the Big Apple and Lily convinces him to open his heart to her. And so it happens that a boy burned by the memory of Christmas, begins to think that perhaps a second chance that time of year deserves it.

Good what you like
As good as you like ”is a mix between an American comedy, one with laughter in the background, and a romantic comedy, one of those that all in all make you cry in this period. With a little bit of Quinn family good spirit and insanity it becomes easy to devour a series of only eight episodes. Catapulted from LA to Philadelphia, the new boyfriend of the last daughter of a provincial cop will have to be able to enter into his good graces to ask for his girlfriend’s hand. With a highly respected cast such as Bridgit Mendler, Ashley Tisdale and Dennis Quaid, she recounts those delicate days between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve spent within a traditionalist family, surprisingly united and completely bizarre, upset by constant unexpected revelations. If we take into account the gruff, clingy and authoritarian father, a policeman at work and in life, the situation for the newcomer in the family risks becoming even more complicated than expected.

How to ruin Christmas
“How to ruin Christmas” will arrive on the small screen soon. A sparkling and politically incorrect South African miniseries of only three episodes that seeks to highlight the tensions that exist within the community of color. The plot is very simple: after ruining what should have been her sister’s perfect wedding, Tumi will try to fix the recoverable.

The films of our childhood, the parties
Bonus point is the docu-series “The films of our childhood”, party edition. Currently stopped in two episodes, it enters the behind the scenes of the films that marked our childhood at Christmas. To date they are “Elf – An elf named Buddy” and “Nightmare Before Christmas”. But if you want to add another must watch, in the original docu-series “The films of our childhood” there is also the description of “Mom I missed the plane”. Because even if we know the lines by heart, every year at least a quick look at these titles we always laugh.
