For Christmas this year, Netflix is giving you more new additions than you can shake a cracker at.
Among the new releases arriving on the streaming service in the next four weeks are new George Clooney film Jay Kelly and Rian Johnson’s third Knives Out film Wake Up Dead Man.
It’s a big one for TV, too, with all new Emily in Paris – and the concluding episodes of Stranger Things’s fifth and final season.
But viewers might be most excited about the return of a US show considered by many to be one of the greatest in history. Every season of Aaron Sorkin’s The West Wing will be returning to the service five years after being removed.
There’s also a bursting roster of existing films that’ll be added throughout the festive season that will give you the perfect excuse to leave the dinner table early if things are getting a bit too much.
Find the full list of movies and TV shows being added to Netflix in December 2025 below – and a compilation of everything being removed here.
