Summer rolled in overnight and suddenly, after months of feeling like lashing winds and rain would be a permanent fixture in our lives, the sky cracked open to reveal endless blue. It’s hard to believe we’re weeks away from December, but finally we have arrived at the festive season, a final exclamation point to round out the year that was 2022.
While summer is synonymous with the outdoors and the showing of flesh, the holiday period is far from relaxing. From countless evenings of entertaining colleagues, friends, and in-laws no amount of kitchen finesse seems to impress, the chance to recline and put the feet up is limited. Nature might be beckoning you to spend hours soaking up its beauty, but when it comes to those entertainment options that allow you to recharge, Netflix has you covered.
December presents a big month for the streaming service, with a number of new series, blockbuster films and classics set to hit the platform. The highly-anticipated Pinocchio from Guillermo del Toro will land on December 9, with a creative spin on the childhood classic that sees the fabled wooden boy go on an enchanted adventure.
For those looking for a mystery to solve, look no further than Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. You may have missed out on a jaunt to Europe this year, but this film takes you to your own private Greek Island. Detective Benoit Blanc returns to solve a mystery, featuring a new cast of colourful suspects who each harbour their own secrets, lies and motivations. With an all-star cast including the likes of Daniel Craig, Edward Norton, Kathryn Hahn and Kate Hudson, you’ll be in for a treat.
With new documentaries, comedy specials and films arriving this December, there’ll be something to please everyone – regardless of your viewing preferences. And to help take the guesswork out of what to watch this December, we’ve rounded up everything set to land on the streaming services this December. Read on below and prepare for a summer of ‘Netflix and chill’.
