As part of their festive offering the streaming platform, Netflix, are releasing ‘Angela’s Christmas Wish’ which is a sequel to the 2018 short film, ‘Angela’s Christmas’. This holiday, family film will premiere on Netflix on 1st December.
The 2018 short film, Angela’s Christmas is a short film based on a story, Angela and the Baby Jesus, the only children’s book written by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, Frank McCourt.

The original short film was set in Ireland in the 1910s and is a funny, heart-warming and poignant tale about the power of family in which a young Angela is fueled by a desire to ensure that everyone is safe, warm and loved at Christmas time after a trip to church with her family.
