As we know, Christmas is about many things. Spending time with loved ones. The giving and receiving of gifts. Eating as much cheese as is humanly possible.
And watching all the Christmas TV while balancing a mince pie and glass of port on your gradually developing gut.
Where to start though? Streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime and NowTV (Christmas hack, you can get Sky Cinema free for 14 days if you're a NowTV customer) mean there's more choice than ever before.
