We’re all for tobogganing, hot chocolate and warm cuddles, but let’s be real, Canadian winters are basically one long countdown to summer. We have a few suggestions to help the time pass a little faster. Next time the temperature drops and you opt to stay cooped up inside, get into comfy clothes, take off your makeup, grab your fave salty snack (read: chips, popcorn, pretzels, you name it) and log onto Netflix, because there are a lot of hot new releases to choose from.

Here’s everything coming (like buzz-worthy horror flick Velvet Buzzsaw starring Jake Gyllenhaal and the last four Harry Potter movies — HP marathon anyone?) and going (like childhood classic Ella Enchanted) to Netflix Canada this month.
