In retrospect, Netflix kind of flopped this Halloween season, but thankfully the streamer is in a relatively more giving mood for the winter holidays. There's a load to watch in December — from new seasons of original series, live sports events and comedy specials to spicy reality TV and music docs, there's something for everyone you're choosing to fight with over turkey and stuffing this month.
As per tradition, the first of the month ushers in a batch of blockbusters, including Bridesmaids, Girl, Interrupted, Jurassic Park, The Lego Movie, Memoirs of a Geisha and a bunch of Transformers movies.
Big-ticket originals bring the return of both pandemic fever dream series Squid Game and Queer Eye (now tragically sans Bobby Berk). Michelle Buteau, Ronny Chieng and Jamie Foxx get their own comedy specials, and Sabrina Carpenter gets her own star-studded holiday special in A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter. Also on the music side of things, a pair of Avicii docs honouring the late Tim Bergling are due to land on December 31.
Most importantly, the long-awaited return of The Ultimatum arrives December 4 to jolt you out of your post-American Thanksgiving tryptophan stupor, priming you for a couple seasons of Real Housewives getting uploaded for the 19th.
If all the goodies below aren't enough for your heart to grow three sizes this season, check out the gifts that Prime Video, Paramount+, Disney+, MUBI and more have to offer in December. See what's leaving Netflix Canada in December 2024 here.
