10 Holiday Family Movies Available in Mandarin on Netflix

The holidays are here! I’ve rounded up 10 Netflix holiday family movies available in Mandarin Chinese. Not all movies are available in Mandarin so I manually checked each movie to give you this list! You can simply switch your audio to select Mandarin. Hope you enjoy!

How to switch your audio and change your subtitles on Netflix:

1. Start the movie you want to watch. 
2. In the first few seconds of the video, click on Audio & Subtitles on the bottom of the screen.
3. Select ‘Mandarin’ for audio.
4. Select your caption language (optional). I like to choose English so that I can learn along with the audio.
