Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Another year, another Christmas draws near. But what festive treats will be available to watch on Netflix?

Look no further, as we have the best films available to watch this Christmas on the streaming service.

A Very Murray Christmas

Starring Bill Murray, George Clooney, Miley Cyrus, Amy Poehler, Michael Cera, among many more stars, the Netflix-original musical comedy is one of the better modern Christmas specials.

Black Adder’s A Christmas Carol

Over the years, there have been dozens of adaptations of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, Rowan Atkinson’s scrooge is definitely one of the funniest.

Black Mirror: White Christmas

If you’d perhaps rather suffer an existential crisis concerning your newly opened mobile phone, the Black Mirror Christmas special is for you.

Die Hard

The Christmas film to end all Christmas films, Bruce Willis stars as NYPD Detective John McClane in this high thrills, no spills action flick.

Home Alone

Very few Christmas films are as funny as Home Alone, the Macaulay Culkin classic that sees a young boy defending his home from pesky burglars.

Jingle All the Way

Two rival fathers fight it out for the last Turbo-Man action figure, playing off the infamous last minute rush for Buzz Lightyear figures in 1995. Of course, the film will always be remembered for Arnold Schwarzenegger’s hilarious outing as Howard.

Scrooged

Another Bill Murray flick and another adaptation of A Christmas Carol. Scrooged, though, is an absolute Christmas classic, and one to be enjoyed by all.
