Avengers: Infinity War and Everything Else Hitting Netflix in December

Thanos Avengers Infinity War

Ah, the holiday season: a time to be thankful for the good things in life, a time to reunite with family, and a time to binge-watch the crap out of whatever is on your favorite streaming service. Winter truly is the most wonderful time of the year to get lost in a new movie or television series. There’s nothing more satisfying on a cold December day than cuddling up on the couch in your fuzzy socks, getting buried under a pile of blankets, and drinking hot chocolate on a lazy holiday afternoon.

Is there stuff to do outside? Um … yeah, I’m sure there is. Like hiking? Yeah, hiking, that’s a thing people do.

Chelsea was born and raised in New Orleans, which explains her affinity for cheesy grits and Britney Spears. An pop culture journalist since 2012, her work has appeared on Autostraddle, AfterEllen, and more. Her beats include queer popular culture, film, television, republican clownery, and the unwavering belief that 'The Long Kiss Goodnight' is the greatest movie ever made. She currently resides in sunny Los Angeles, with her husband, 2 sons, and one poorly behaved rescue dog. She is a former roller derby girl and a black belt in Judo, so she is not to be trifled with. She loves the word “Jewess” and wishes more people used it to describe her.
