Sky Cinema and NOW TV confirm Cats, Sonic the Hedgehog and more as new December movie premieres
Christmas is creeping ever closer and you might well already be wondering which movies will be accompanying your festive evenings in front of the TV this winter.
Well, Sky Cinema and NOW TV have the answer to that question as the list of films set to premiere in December has been confirmed, and it'll make your sofa the only place you'll want to be next month.
If you missed the much-talked-about musical adaptation of Cats when it was released last year then this is your chance to catch up, as Tom Hooper's movie will premiere on Boxing Day (December 26).
James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba and Jennifer Hudson are just a few of the very famous faces starring (although you might struggle to recognise them beneath the digital fur).

If you need something to keep the kids occupied while you're cooking Christmas dinner, look no further than Trolls World Tour which premieres on Christmas Day (December 25).
