Thankfully, there’s a whole mass of new TV shows and movies coming to streaming services in December, so you won’t have to go back to watching Star Wars for the millionth time. All of the movies and TV shows below are available to stream on streaming services, ranging from tear-jerking family dramas to earth-shattering Korean disaster flicks.

If you’re looking for something brilliant to watch this month, chances are you’ll find it right here. A film star and his manager take an impromptu road trip through Europe, reflecting on their lives along the way.

Send this article to your social connections. We’ve reached December, which in the streaming world translates to a glut of holiday movies and holiday TV shows.

But it’s not just Christmas content filling the streaming libraries this month. There’s also a ton of classic films that will be perfect family viewing over the holidays, a number of new TV shows that will generate holiday buzz, and some hit 2025 movies coming to... Prime Video has the Season 2 debut of “Fallout” (Dec. 17), while Netflix has a new season of “Emily in Paris” (Dec. 18) and is slowly drip-feeding subscribers the final season of “Stranger Things” (Dec. 25 and Dec.

31). From “F1” to “Mission: Impossible” and beyond December is always a great time to catch up on movies, and this month sees a plethora of exciting films from earlier this year (and bona fide new releases) hitting Netflix, Paramount+, Prime Video,... We’ve put together a curated list of the best of the best, from Brad Pitt’s Oscar-contending racing drama to Tom Cruise’s possibly final “Mission: Impossible movie to a delightful holiday rom-com starring Michelle Pfeiffer. Check out our picks for the best new movies streaming right now below. Finally, our long international nightmare is over.

2022 saw the release of “Troll,” energetically directed by Norwegian powerhouse Roar Uthaug and written by Espen Aukan. It combined European mythology with “Godzilla”-style kaiju dynamics and remains one of the most entertaining movies Netflix has ever released. And now, it’s finally time for a sequel, with Uthaug and Aukan back for more. Based on the marketing materials, we can expect not one giant troll but two (one seems to be a MechaGodzilla-style robot), with most of the cast from the first film returning (among them: Ine... Falck-Jørgensen and Mads Sjøgård Pettersen). Sadly, Billy Campbell, who shared a name with his character from “The Rocketeer,” is not back.

Maybe he’ll show up for “Troll 3.” Here’s hoping. In terms of Christmastime documentaries, this sounds pretty great. “The Merchants of Joy” follows the five families of the New York City Christmas tree market. According to the official synopsis, this new documentary “follows these Christmas die-hards as they source, sell, and safeguard a family tradition at risk. It’s a warm, grounded portrait of pride, grit, and the joy they bring—one tree, one customer, one season at a time.” Sounds like an insightful documentary that will illuminate, with humor and wit, a... Holly jolly indeed.

If you didn't get enough Stranger Things over Thanksgiving break, don't you worry: There are still two parts left to come in its final season's lengthy rollout. Part 2 hits Netflix on Christmas, while the movie-length series finale (that pretty much just makes it a movie, but whatever, we can continue the charade) will be released on New Year's Eve. Otherwise, it's a light December in terms of TV releases, but there are a handful of premieres to help make your season bright: Fallout and Percy Jackson and the Olympians both return for their... And if none of those appeal to you, at least Daniel Craig is back to speaking in Benoit Blanc's silly voice in Wake Up Dead Man, the newest film in the Knives Out series. Our guide to the best TV and streaming movies in December is divided into three sections: the best shows to watch this month, the best shows to watch by streaming service, and a calendar...

Whatever you're looking for, you'll find it below. This town ain't big enough for both Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson. In The Abandons, a new Western series created by Sons of Anarchy's Kurt Sutter, Headey and Anderson face off as a pair of widowed matriarchs separated by privilege in mid-19th-century Washington Territory. Headey's Fiona Nolan is an Irish woman who has forged a home for an adopted family of outcasts (the titular Abandons) on silver-rich land, which Anderson's wealthy Constance Van Ness is determined to seize. Their fellow haves and have-nots are played by an extensive cast that includes Michael Greyeyes, Nick Robinson, Diana Silvers, Lamar Johnson, Lucas Till, Aisling Franciosi, and Brían F. O'Byrne.

-Kelly Connolly [Trailer] As 2025 wraps up, Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and other streamers are closing out the year with an anticipated lineup of new and returning TV shows. From the Stranger Things Season 5 finale to the return of Fallout and Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, read on for the best TV series to stream in December 2025. Netflix’s new Western drama The Abandons kicks off in December, introducing a new bitter rivalry between the wealthy Van Ness family and the Abandons, a group of orphans. “This first chapter of The Abandons is a classic American story — the frontier, two families both at war and in love with each other, [and] a battle over who owns the land and... Also coming to Netflix is the fifth season of Emily in Paris, where Emily continues her adventures in Rome with her new Italian love interest.

While the fourth season was released in two parts, the next installment will be released all at once on the streamer on Thursday, Dec. 18. Stranger Things fans also won’t want to miss the final episodes of Season 5, also premiering this month. Volume 2 will be released on Christmas Day, while the Finale will be streaming on New Year’s Eve, marking an epic conclusion to the decade-long series set in Hawkins, Indiana. Fans of the video game Fallout should mark their calendars for Dec. 17, when the second season of the post-apocalyptic series arrives on Prime Video.

Set in the wasteland of post-nuclear America, the next chapter will follow its characters as they travel to New Vegas, a major location from the video game franchise. It’s a brand new month and like clockwork, a new slate of movies and shows has landed on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and just about every major streaming platform. Somehow, December is already here, which means the holiday season is around the corner and there’s finally going to be some free time to catch up on good entertainment. But given how spoiled we are for choices these days and since scrolling endlessly for binge-worthy content is a waste of a good evening, we decided to take matters into our own hands to... So, here are our picks for the best new TV series and films worth streaming on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, and more in December 2025. Let’s start with a big (and obvious) one.

Prime Video’s breakout video-game adaptation is back with a brand-new season that’s set deeper in the post-apocalyptic wasteland. And this time, we’re heading to irradicated Vegas, baby! Based on Bethesda’s video-game series, Season 1 gave us all the things we had hoped for from a Fallout TV adaptation, including a grounded and surprisingly heartfelt story, memorable characters and the signature dark... Now, Season 2 is pushing the envelope further, taking the story into the Mojave Wasteland and bringing us to the Strip, the iconic location from 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas. Fallout Season 2 will pick up after the explosive Season 1 finale, with Lucy searching for her father while The Ghoul begins his own hunt for the family he believes may have survived the... The biggest bombshell in Season 2 is the proper debut of Robert Edwin House, now played by Justin Theroux.

As fans of Fallout: New Vegas will know, House is the enigmatic ruler of the Strip, a pre-war tech titan whose influence shaped the world before and after the bombs fell. Season 2 also sees two major cast additions as Kumail Nanjiani joins the ensemble and Macaulay Culkin is set to appear in a recurring role as a “crazy genius” character. December also sees the return of Daniel Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc on his “most personal journey yet” as he’s pulled into a baffling new case. The third film in the Knives Out series, Netflix’s Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, acts as a standalone sequel to the first and once again puts Rian Johnson back in the... After the not-so-successful second film, which tried to do and be many things at once, Wake Up Dead Man is returning to the series’ whodunit roots, taking Craig’s Benoit Blanc on a trail of... Per the official synopsis, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery takes “Blanc to a small hamlet in leafy upstate New York, where eager young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O’Connor) has been sent...

A charismatic firebrand, Wicks tends to a flock that includes Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), Vera Draven (Kerry Washington), Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), Lee Ross (Andrew...

Brad Pitt’s racing blockbuster “F1” arrives on Apple TV this month after grossing $631 million at the worldwide this summer to become the biggest box office hit of the actor’s career (unadjusted for inflation).

The movie, directed by “Top Gun: Maverick” helmer Joseph Kosinski, follows Pitt’s character as he emerges from retirement to coach a rookie driver and save a failing F1 team. Damson Idris, Kerry Condon and Tobias Menzies co-star in the film, while real-life Formula One champ Lewis Hamilton counts himself among the producers. Tom Cruise’s alleged last “Mission: Impossible” movie, “Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,” is now streaming on Paramount+ after grossing $598 million at the worldwide box office this summer.
