What's new on DSTV Catch Up this week

The weather this past few days have given us the perfect excuse to snuggle up on the couch while binge-watching our favourite shows. This week's DSTV Catch Up lineup features some classic Christmas movies and a dash of suspense.

Get the popcorn and snacks ready and settle in for the show.

Krampus Taking a darker turn than your average Christmas movie, Krampus focuses on ancient European folklore which warns of a horned beast who punishes naughty children at Christmas time.

When dysfunctional family squabbling causes young Max to lose his festive spirit, it unleashes the wrath of the fearsome demon. As Krampus lays siege to the Engel home, mom, pop, sister and brother must band together to save one another from a monstrous fate.
