New Australian comedy film A Savage Christmas is arriving on streaming in its first ever digital release. 

One of the wackiest Christmas movies you can watch this holiday season, it follows a trans woman’s return to her family home after years of estrangement. 

And while a Christmas family get-together is supposed to be a grand moment, secrets and lies are spilled instead, one disastrous revelation after another. The result? A hilarious Christmas film that needs seeing!
