Hulu is offering a selection of engaging films and series for subscribers to enjoy over the weekend of November 29-30, 2023. This month’s lineup includes the highly anticipated release of Freakier Friday, alongside two classic holiday films that are sure to resonate with audiences.
Freakier Friday: A New Spin on an Old Favorite
The streaming service debuts Freakier Friday, a sequel to the beloved 2003 film. Starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis, this contemporary version revisits the story of mother and daughter, Tess and Anna Coleman, who have previously switched bodies. Now, Anna, played by Lohan, is navigating life as a single mother to her daughter, Harper, portrayed by Julia Butters.
As Anna prepares to marry Eric Reyes, played by Manny Jacinto, unexpected chaos ensues when Anna and Tess find themselves in each other’s bodies once again. Their daughters, Harper and Lily (played by Sophia Hammons), seize the opportunity to meddle with Anna’s wedding plans. Streaming exclusively on Hulu, this film promises a blend of humor and heart, appealing to both new viewers and fans of the original.
Classic Holiday Films to Celebrate the Season
In addition to the new release, Hulu adds the classic A Christmas Story (1983) to its library, a film that has become a staple during the festive season. The story follows young Ralphie Parker, played by Peter Billingsley, who yearns for a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle for Christmas. Based on narratives by author Jean Shepherd, the film captures the essence of childhood longing and the warmth of family dynamics, featuring Ralphie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Parker, played by Darren McGavin and Melinda Dillon.
Also available is the acclaimed animated miniseries Over the Garden Wall (2014), which has garnered a dedicated following for its unique storytelling and artistic style. Voices of Elijah Wood and Collin Dean bring to life the half-brothers Wirt and Greg, who find themselves lost in a mysterious realm called the Unknown. As they navigate challenges and encounter intriguing characters, the brothers must evade the ominous presence of the Beast, voiced by Samuel Ramey.
These titles, including the new Freakier Friday, are now streaming on Hulu, offering subscribers a vibrant mix of new and nostalgic content for the holiday season. Whether seeking humor, classic charm, or a dark fantasy adventure, viewers have an array of options to binge-watch this weekend.
