Netflix discards animated gifts during "Here for the Holidays"

The days are getting colder and the Netflix lineup is heating up with 28 seasonal additions planned for Netflix here for the holidays, including 11 festive movies, six sledding series and five cartoons to delight the whole family. Animated projects that fill the stocking in streaming this year include:

23th November
Waffle + Mochi party festival | Waffles and Mochi are home for the holidays in Frozen Land when Steve the Mop calls asking about their Christmas traditions. Too anxious as ever, Waffles invents a holiday - Freezie Day - and says it's all about food! Steve invites himself (and all of their friends from the grocery store) to celebrate, but Waffles and Mochi have nothing to feed their guests at this impromptu party. Mochi ventures into MagiCart to collect food for the party while Waffles distracts guests back home. Hijinks ensue (along with trips to Norway and Hawaii!). Eventually, Waffles and Mochi learn that party traditions are more than just food - it's about being together and making memories with the people you love.
