As the festive season approaches, bringing with it the irresistible urge for warm blankets and a perfect cup of coffee, many seek out that special kind of cozy holiday viewing. While Netflix has provided countless seasonal hits, one charming show has quietly captured the hearts of viewers with its witty, heartfelt take on modern romance. Now, after a long hiatus, fans are being granted their ultimate wish: The favourite Christmas Series is finally receiving a brand-new season, guaranteeing another dose of snow-dusted, genuine dramatic comedy to enjoy.

The long wait for more seasonal warmth is officially over with the confirmation of a surprise third instalment.

Netflix has delighted fans by confirming that the Norwegian original series, Home for Christmas (Hjem til jul), is returning for a third season, defying the long silence since the last episode aired. This announcement is particularly exciting because it comes after a significant five-year gap between seasons, rewarding the patience and dedication of the show's loyal global audience.

The new season is scheduled for release on Friday, December 12, 2025, allowing viewers to catch up with the beloved main character, Johanne. The Norwegian Christmas series is helmed by Director Per Olav-Sørensen, alongside Co-Director Aurora Gossé, with a writing team including Siri Seljeseth and Amy Deasismont. The production boasts a large ensemble cast featuring Ida Elise Broch, Dennis Storhøi, and Christian Ruud Kallum, as announced by Netflix.

For new viewers, the series follows the relatable and often hilarious holiday romantic challenges of its central character, Johanne.

The critically acclaimed first two seasons introduced the compelling story of Johanne, a woman facing intense pressure from her family to bring a boyfriend home for Christmas. Her desperate attempts to find a partner before the holiday led to a hilarious and often chaotic journey through the dating scene. The series masterfully balances romantic comedy with the deeper, more emotional realities of being single during the festive period.

In the upcoming third season, Johanne is now 35 and grappling with the fallout of her recent separation from Jonas. The narrative will explore her return to dating and her realization that the landscape has changed, prompting her to question whether she or the dating world is different. As she takes on a new leadership position at work and cares for her lonely father, the central question remains: will she find the courage to open her heart and love again? The series is often praised as the platform's most endearing Christmas offering, setting it apart from other seasonal fare.
