 | Sunday, December 19, 2021 | |  | Sunday, December 19, 2021 | | Hi, art lovers! | | | The holidays are here, so I’ll keep this as brief and festive as possible so you can get back to eating a 10-course breakfast of Lindor truffles or whatever it is you do on a late December Sunday. Our year-in-review content will keep on keeping on this week, and you can catch up on a couple of the recaps we’ve churned out so far in the featured slots below. Also in the mix: a guide to holiday productions (but mostly The Nutcracker) that are streaming online, because there aren’t enough Christmas specials out there already, to wit, the CBC holiday guide, a comprehensive schedule of every last festive program appearing on CBC this season. It’s a TV guide though, which is very Ghost of Christmas Past. Browse the streaming options on CBC Gem for more immediate seasonal content. Or skip directly to these recos: the best so-bad-they’re-good Christmas movies. (Related reading: if you think people watch Hallmarkcore because they love romcoms, think again.) And if that all sounds a little too deliciously lazy, make something.
