‘Dashing through the shows’: 5 new series to binge this Christmas

With Christmas just around the corner, the Voice of London has your holiday watchlist covered with these five ‘tantalising treats’. 

The most wonderful time of the year’ has arrived. As Christmas edges closer, people have begun planning. It is the season of festivities and togetherness, however, 2020 has been nowhere near ‘normal’, compared to other years.

As the UK eases the lockdown and London moves to Tier 2, in which people are asked to stay inside with their households and support bubbles, the big Christmas dinners and some sightseeing activities have been cancelled.

That doesn’t stop people from enjoying the ambience at home. Streaming platforms have set plans for their viewers to get into a festive mood while relaxing with their close ones.

Here are five shows that you can binge-watch at home during this month to manifest the Christmas spirit.
