Over winter break, my family and I explored the extensive selection of new Netflix movies and TV shows. Below, you will find a few of my favorite movies and shows that have recently been added to Netflix. These picks range from lifestyle shows to romantic stories to thriller films. I provided a short description of each movie below. I encourage you to explore these Netflix selections and share them with friends and family!
