3 True Crime Shows That Will Give You The Chills During Christmas Time
Homicide for the Holidays
In case you are wondering if this is the name for an actual series, then we completely relate and understand. In fact, we were shocked to find this gem and put it on the top of the list for how excellent it is!
Homicide for the Holidays is an American television series that is aired by Oxygen Network each year right around the time between Thanksgiving to Christmas and, sometimes ever, New Year. The show documents the crimes that are specifically committed during the holiday time, thus, the name and the time it airs. It came out first in 2016 with the episode titled A Deadly Thanksgiving and, has successfully completed four seasons! The fifth season is en route with the first episode scheduled to release around the last two weeks of November.

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries
If you aren’t a fan of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries and are not privy to the epic Murder Under the Mistletoe episode in the show then consider yourself saved for coming across this listicle because, once you watch the series, there is no way out, we promise.
The Australian drama series, Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries, is based on writer Kerry Greenwood’s historical mystery novels. Created by Deb Cox and Fiona Eagger, the series is the perfect Christmas treat for fans of true crime and history as the show shows us the personal and professional life of the private detective Phryne Fisher and how she navigates her way through murders and mysteries.
There are a total of three seasons of the show. You can watch them, here.
The Devil Next Door
War crimes are often either overlooked or hugely concentrated on. This show remarkably does the latter where you are left with food for thought and, during Christmas, enough important topics of discussion to keep going during the evening dinner.
The Devil Next Door is about John Demjanjuk who was accused of war crimes and crimes against humanity, while during his time as a guard at a Nazi extermination camp during World War II. There are a total of five episodes and is a perfect binge-worthy watch. It is presently streaming on Netflix.
