One night, she received a mysterious red notebook from a customer, who Netflix’s original movie about the holiday season, ‘Dash and Lily’ is a Christmas movie for young adults. The series is set in New York and follows the love story of Dash and Lily, who met at The Strand bookstore and started their own book club.

Whether you’re celebrating a holiday, or just having a cosy night with your family and friends, there’s nothing better than watching a good TV show to get you into the festive spirit. At first, fans were very hopeful that the show will return for the holidays the next year.
Dash and Lily are the quintessential young adult characters, but what makes them special is the sense of realism in the story. I could totally relate with Dash, who has a secret notebook filled with clues on how to get to his dream girl. I used to have an actual notebook that I carried around during my high school years, which had a list of things on how I will ask out a certain girl.
We all know how that turns out, but that was the only way I knew how to act back then. And like Dash, I did not get the girl in the end.
Can Dash and Lily Get a Second Season?
