It's officially holiday season, which means it's time to ditch your desk for your parents' couch, and trade that spreadsheet for your Netflix queue. And, in anticipation of national binge-watching month, the streaming service has a wide array of new titles available come December. Below are a few of our top recommendations.

Paris may be the "City of Love," but in Richard Curtis' beloved rom-com Love Actually, London gives it a run for its money. The all-star cast includes Liam Neeson, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley, and Colin Firth as a group of Londoners who find love in the unlikeliest of places over the course of one particularly eventful Christmas.

If you're looking for the antithesis of a Christmas movie, The Wolf of Wall Street — Martin Scorsese's coke-fueled tale of male machismo gone horribly wrong — is finally available. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Jordan Belfort, the duplicitous New York stockbroker who made a fortune from ripping people off. Again, this is not a Christmas movie, but there is a whole lot of snow.

Back on the Christmas tip, Tim Burton's vastly underrated Batman Returns is also now available, with Michael Keaton, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Danny DeVito breathing life into DC's iconic characters. But, if you're looking for holiday cheer, look elsewhere. This is one of the darkest visions of Christmas ever put on film. (After all, it's Tim Burton and the Dark Knight we're talking about.)
