If you would like to forego the typical Christmas traditions like big family meals and parties and instead plan to ignore the world, stay in bed, and watch Netflix, first of all: There is no shame in that. Man, it sounds really nice, to be honest. And if that’s the way you want to go, Netflix will oblige with a whole mess of new holiday-themed movies and television shows in the coming weeks.

Keep in mind, these are just the new additions to the Netflix library for Christmas 2022. This does not include stuff that already exists on Netflix, which already has a pretty big holiday section, should you want to revisit an old favorite or are a recent subscriber to the service. Oh and if you are in the Los Angeles area, there’s also a “Netflix Holiday House” at the Grove you can visit that also includes “a jaunt inside the famed detective office of Enola Holmes, an exploration of Matilda’s musical library, a School for Good and Evil Wishing Tree, an Emily in Paris–inspired photo op (Eiffel Tower included, of course), a Slumberland–inspired time-traveling bed and an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the making of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.”

Here are the new Christmas titles coming to Netflix this December. (Note: This doesn’t include the non-holiday-themed films and shows coming out in December, like Rian Johnson’s Knives Out sequel Glass Onion or the new season of Emily in Paris...)
