Netflix just dropped a tweet this afternoon announcing its release of A Naija Christmas, a holiday-themed Nollywood family comedy movie. Coming to Netflix on Thursday 16 December, A Naija Christmas tells the story of a mother whose dying Christmas wish is for her three sons to bring home decent girls.

This is only the beginning of many more non-Hollywood Christmas movies to come, and we are happy to share the experience with you.
