Every Movie & TV Show Coming to Netflix Christmas Week (December 22nd)

As we near the end of December (and the end of 2025), Christmas week is officially upon us. The merriest week of the is a great time to curl up with loved ones and something new to watch, so it’s a good thing Netflix has some big additions planned for the next several days. All five days this week will have new arrivals hitting Netflix, but Christmas Day will easily be the biggest of them all. In fact, December 25th has the potential to be the most-viewed day of the year for the service.

Christmas Day will include not one, but two NFL games streaming live on Netflix, both of which are going to be rivalry games. The Dallas Cowboys will take on the Washington Commanders, and the Detroit Lions will play the Minnesota Vikings.

Following the games, at 5pm PT, the second part of Stranger Things 5 will be released on Netflix, bringing three more episodes of the hit show’s final season to fans. The series finale will be released next week.

You can check out Netflix’s full Christmas week lineup below!
