Christmas is bringing with it a whole host of festive fun, with new films, shows and streaming content being aired every day. This week, I have chosen the following five that you simply cannot miss. These include…

Hollywood Houselift With Jeff Lewis (Series 2), 8am, Prime Video UK/Amazon Freevee, Wednesday 6th December: About to decorate your home for Christmas? Want to find some inspiration for the new year? Then this is the show for you! Full to the brim with magical makeover ideas, Jeff Lewis and team are back to turn even more celebrities' homes into ideal spaces. Many of which are dream worthy.

Platform 7, 8am, ITVX, Thursday 7th December: After witnessing a horrific incident at a train station, a young woman must put her life back together again. However, as her memory begins to return, she finds that she may be more connected to what happened than she thought. Gripping stuff!

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Christmas: Cabin Fever, 8am, Disney Plus UK, Friday 8th December: After causing a huge commotion, Greg is faced with the upsetting reality that he may not be on the nice list this year. All of which causes him to worry that the games console of his dreams may not be his anymore. In this family-friendly new feature, you can be sure that everyone will fall in love with the Wimpy Kid this Christmas.

Leave The World Behind, 8am, Netflx, Friday 8th December: Starring Julia Roberts, Mahershala Ali, Ethan Hawke, and Myha’la Herrold, this post apocalyptic comedy is definitely one for the adults. The all-star cast leads the way into a dark but hilarious place, which is not very festive, but full of fun.

Your Christmas or Mine 2, 8am, Amazon Prime UK, Friday 8th December: If you saw the first one of these merry films, then you are going to love the sequel. When our famous couple find themselves in another awkward situation, their relationship is put to the ultimate Christmas test. Can they last? You will have to watch to find out.
