My Secret Santa

Streaming on Netflix

Netflix brings holiday rom-com fans exactly what they want with My Secret Santa. This charming seasonal comedy follows a single mom who disguises herself as an elderly man to work as a ski-resort Santa. Naturally, romance, mistaken identities, and a cascade of festive complications follow. It’s sweet, silly, and full of snowy holiday vibes — the kind of movie that pairs perfectly with a blanket and twinkling lights.

The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2

Streaming on Netflix (Dec 6)

The beloved Spanish-language hit returns with a sequel packed with more heart, more hijinks, and more over-the-top Christmas comedy. The Night My Dad Saved Christmas 2 brings the same warm family spirit as the original, but with bigger spectacle and even more festive charm. Great for families and anyone who loves heartfelt holiday chaos.

Jingle Bell Heist

Streaming on Netflix

If you prefer your holiday movies with mischief and a spark of romance, Jingle Bell Heist might be your December pick. This playful seasonal caper follows two thieves who discover they’re targeting the same department store at Christmas — only to find themselves tangled in each other’s plans (and maybe each other’s hearts). Think cozy vibes with just enough holiday sparkle and cheeky humor to keep it lively.

Oh. What. Fun.

Streaming on Amazon after a short theatrical run (Dec 3)

For viewers craving a holiday comedy with a little more bite, Oh. What. Fun. delivers an ensemble-driven story featuring Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones, and Chloë Grace Moretz. The film leans into the chaos of family gatherings, conflicting personalities, and the emotional minefields of the season — but still delivers a big-hearted payoff. It’s witty, warm, and pitched perfectly between sincere and hilarious.

Goodbye June

Streaming on Netflix around Dec 24

Closing the month is Goodbye June, a holiday-adjacent drama directed by Kate Winslet in her feature directorial debut. Rather than leaning into traditional Christmas tropes, the film uses the holiday season as a quiet backdrop for a multi-generational story about family, loss, forgiveness, and connection. Beautifully acted and emotionally rich, this one is for viewers who prefer their seasonal stories grounded and reflective rather than overtly festive.

From glossy specials to animated adventures and from snuggly rom-coms to reflective dramas, December 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most diverse and exciting holiday streaming seasons in years. No matter your vibe — cozy, chaotic, sentimental, or silly — there’s something waiting to light up your December watchlist.
