The Thanksgiving leftovers have been gobbled and the Black Friday deals secured, which means Christmas has begun. That means a slew of new holiday content to stream, if you haven’t been mainlining Hallmark holiday movies already.
But there are treats of every flavor in this stocking of streaming choices, from the comedic to the romantic, the sweet to the silly.
First up is a holiday comedy special from Matt Rogers, who brings his stage show “Have You Heard of Christmas?” to Showtime, streaming Friday. Rogers, who co-starred in “Fire Island” and “I Love That for You” this year, has been touring this holiday spectacular featuring original Christmas songs for the past several years. This “yuletide musical extravaganza” features Rogers performing his nine “future classic holiday hits” as he attempts to become the Prince of Christmas. And even though he’s not a pop star, Rogers can belt with the best, so tune in for this musical comedy special that straddles the line between naughty and nice.
After that, flip over to the Roku Channel for “The Great American Baking Show: Celebrity Holiday.” Hosted by Ellie Kemper and Zach Cherry, judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith set up their tent in Los Angeles and put a group of stars through the holiday baking paces, including Rogers’ “Fire Island” co-star Joel Kim Booster, Nat Faxon, Liza Koshy, D’Arcy Carden, Chloe Fineman and NFL star Marshawn Lynch (who ends up being the funniest of the bunch). It’s the “Great British Bake Off” format, with “Nailed It” results. That streams Friday on the Roku Channel.
