'Three Days of Christmas': Release date, plot, cast, trailer and all you need to know about Netflix's Christmas web series

The story is narrated through three key moments in the lives of Valentina, Esthe, María, and Adela — when they are daughters, mothers, and grandmothers.

Some stories are worth being told next to a fireplace during Christmas. It gets better if a grandmother narrates her experience of building a perfect world and an ideal family. But some tales are too good to be true. Behind all the rosiness, everything is full of secrets, lies, despise and rage. We hide things from the ones we love because we try to protect them. To err is human, but to forgive is divine and that's what makes a family united. In a rat race to grow up in the world we live in today, we forget to cherish the present. 

This is basically the premise on which Netflix's new holiday special series 'Three Days Of Christmas'  is based on. It is a 3-episode series and it will manage to encapsulate the entire narrative in such a short time frame. It sounds challenging and quite interesting to watch.
