Netflix #StreamTeam November: Welcome Home

netflixjanuary

     With start of the holiday season just around the corner, it’s certainly a time for family and tradition to take center stage. It’s one of the reasons that this is my favorite time of year– coming together as a family and appreciating not only all of the good things that have happened in the past year, but also each other for being there as part of them. So naturally, it’s excellent to see that Netflix has something special for all kinds of families this year

     Whether your family embodies the spirit of  or is more like the group-hugging Fullers or slightly strange Byers, there’s undoubtedly a group to reflect  the way your family celebrates the holidays (and the other days in between!) And with the premiere of Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on November 25th, who could forget the fast-talking Gilmores? From Friday night dinners to a daily cup of coffee (or three) at Luke’s, the Gilmores are full of unique quirks and traditions that rival even the most beloved Netflix families. When it comes to dynamics and traditions, how does your family compare?

Find out what to watch next on Netflix based on your favorite family units, and try to share the remote this holiday season.

Netflix Celebrates Siblings in April! #StreamTeam

Believe it or not, siblings really can get along. They play together, they cuddle, and they get sad when one of them is gone for too long. But when it comes to agreeing on something to watch, they can go from love to loathe in a matter of minutes. We want siblings everywhere (of all ages) to get along famously, no matter their differences in show tastes. That’s why Netflix has created Netflix Sibling Playlists to honor National Siblings Day (April 10th). During the month of April, kids can choose from playlists such as the “Tale of Two Distant Ages” to “Sugar and Spice” and more, offering something for every sibling squad to watch and enjoy together.

We’re certainly no stranger to the way siblings get along in our house, which is why we’ve picked some of our favorite Netflix shows and playlists t0 share with you. Read on to see some of the great “Sibling Playlists” Netflix has to offer, and a sample of the great shows and movies that are available on the site this month!

Still Can’t Decide?

Since we know getting a collective answer can be easier said than done, Netflix has created an iconic fortune teller to help your family decide what to watch next. Even better, create your own.

How to play:IMG_3538

1. Pick a color on the top four flaps and spell out the letters (e.g. B-L-U-E) while alternating a pinching and pulling motion with the teller to reveal a set of four numbers.
2. Pick a number and move the fortune teller the corresponding number of times, revealing a second set of four numbers.
3. Choose a genre and open the flap to reveal what’s up next on Netflix.
