A lot of things about winter are bad. The darkness, the cold, the slush, black ice. And have we already had the darkness? So it’s only fair that there’s a whole bunch of festive celebrations during this awkward time of year. And you should make yourself as comfortable as possible there. Decorate your own four walls atmospherically, bake a large supply of delicious cookies and place them anywhere within reach, turn on the fireplace and get out the fluffiest blanket. And then turn on the TV.
There are a few films around Christmas time that are simply good for the soul. And no, we’re not talking about “Die Hard.” But classics like “The Little Lord” or “The Muppet Christmas Carol” just give you a good feeling, even if you watch them again every year. After all, New Year’s Eve doesn’t work without “Dinner for One”!
A film that is part of the standard holiday program in many families is the fairy tale “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella.” The 1973 Czech production is so popular that public broadcasters want to make sure everyone who wants to see “Cinderella” gets the chance. That’s why the fairy tale adaptation is broadcast on different channels – from ARD to Bavarian Radio to the children’s channel – on different days at different times. The broadcast dates have already been set:
The good thing: If you don’t actually have the opportunity to break away from the family celebration to watch your favorite Christmas film on any of these dates, you can fully enjoy “Cinderella” regardless of the broadcast schedule. Netflix has the classic film on offer and offers it to its subscribers to stream at any time.
