Seems I blinked too hard and whoops, suddenly we’ve speedrun from the start of 2025 to the final boss fight of December. If you’re a fellow TV binger like me, you already know this month is peak season for planting your butt in your couch groove and letting the remote do the heavy lifting. To support that noble quest for maximum loafing, I’ve whipped up a curated hit list across the six big streaming services.
So without further faffing about, here’s every festive flick, binge-worthy series, and sneakily brilliant original you can throw on. Pick your provider, press play, and treat yourself to a well-earned holiday hibernation.
