For some, the holiday season starts as soon as Halloween is over. But for others that are a little more hesitant to start the season so early, it doesn't start until the day after Thanksgiving, or even Dec. 1. And if you prefer to get into the holiday spirit on the later side (which is totally fair considering you still get 25 great days of Christmas), here are all the new Christmas movies premiering on Netflix and TV this week that will 100 percent get you into the holiday mood.

Where to start your Holiday movie and TV watching on the week of Dec. 3? Now that you've watched A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding and can recite The Princess Switch by heart, it's time to turn to the new offerings coming out this week. Movies like the fun Santa's Boots, which features a man dressing up as Santa as the romantic lead, or the heartbreaking Once Upon a Christmas Miracle, about a woman in desperate need of a liver transplant who might find the perfect match this Christmas.

Whatever it is that gets you in the holiday mood will do, and these new movies coming to your TV this week are the cherries on top. Plus, they're perfect to have on while decorating your newly installed tree.
