Google TV releases Advent Calendar to get you into the holiday spirit

If you use a Chromecast with a Google TV device, you'll be happy to know that Google now offers an Advent calendar of content recommendations to get you into the holiday spirit.

Spotted by Android Authority, the Advent calendar offers a special film or Christmas recommendation every day until Christmas. Normally you are not allowed to see the full list of Advent calendar recommendations, but for some reason some users have access to it.

Much of the content on the list comes from Disney Plus, but Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, and Netflix also have some of their films among the Advent Calendar recommendations, alongside plenty of rentals.

That being said, here are some of the Advent calendar recommendations offered this week:

• The Shepherd (December 1)
• The Nightmare Before Christmas (December 2)
• Little Women (December 3)
• Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special (December 4)

One thing missing from the list is the first Die Hard movie, which only makes sense if Google doesn't believe it's truly a Christmas movie. This is not good, Google!
