We are on the Christmas home stretch now lovelies! Only a few days to go, before we fall into those festive TV and film binges that I do dearly love. This week, you are going to want to start early with these five jolly presents...

Beauty and the Beast: A Pantomime For Comic Relief, 9pm, BBC Two, Sunday 19th December: If you haven’t been able to catch a pantomime yet, the BBC have hot you covered. With an all-star cast, this take on the classic fairy tale is a great affair that you can shout along to as loud as you want.

Madame Tussauds: The Full Wax, 9pm, ITV, Wednesday 22nd December: With so many famous faces now lining the rooms in London and Blackpool, this exciting documentary takes us behind the scenes. Iconic for lots of reasons, this show is sure to make you want to take a visit.

Emily In Paris (Season Two), 8am, Netflix, Wednesday 22nd December: After a bit of a mixed reaction to the first season, the second will have to pull out all the stops. Yet, it is so addictive, I know that it is going to have us binging hard and dreaming of Paris before we know it.

Don’t Look Up, 8am, Netflix, Friday 24th December: The first of two new films out this weekend, Netflix are giving us an incredible feature. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep and Jonah Hill to name a few, you will not want to miss this drama/comedy. Everyone will be talking about it.

Encanto, 8am, Disney Plus UK, Friday 24th December: Only a few weeks ago this hit cinemas. Now, as an early Christmas treat, it is being given to us on Disney Plus. Sit down and enjoy it with a mince pie and hot chocolate in those matching family festive pjs.

Let us know what you have been watching and what you are most looking forward to catching over the course of the week, via our social media pages, as we would love to know!
