December brings tons of new movies and TV shows to Netflix, meaning you're spoiled for choice this holiday season. For those Christmas movie marathons, there's the upcoming original rom-com Single All the Way or adventure David and the Elves, but before the festivities begin, there's loads of new originals to enjoy. For one thing, The Witcher season 2 is fast approaching, as is Cobra Kai season 4. Then there's Money Heist: Part 5 Vol 2, as well as the star-powered Don't Look Up, and The Power of the Dog with Benedict Cumberbatch.

We've rounded up absolutely everything coming to Netflix this December in both the US and the UK, so you can plan those holiday movie marathons and binge-watches from both sides of the pond. We've also selected our top three choices of the month to help you get a head start if the sheer volume of movies and TV shows is a little overwhelming. Scroll on for the complete list of everything new to Netflix this November.

The Witcher season 2 – December 17

Geralt is back in The Witcher season 2, arriving on Netflix this December 17. So far, plot details are scarce, but it looks like Ciri has a bigger part to play this time round – and the duo will be headed to Kaer Morhen. Plus, episode 1 will take inspiration from Andrzej Sapkowski's short story A Grain of Truth, a Beauty and the Beast-style tale with a man turned into a monster. Game of Thrones' Kristofer Hivju will play Nivellen, the cursed man in question.

Don't Look Up – December 24

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, and Timothée Chalamet, this film follows two astronomers (DiCaprio and Lawrence) who discover a comet is going to collide with Earth – and destroy the planet. They have to convince the public and the President (Streep) of the danger, but no one is all that bothered. The film will have a December 10 limited theatrical release, then hit Netflix this Christmas Eve.

Cobra Kai season 4 – December 31

The Karate Kid saga continues with Cobra Kai season 4, which lands this New Year's Eve. The stakes are higher than ever this time round: Daniel and Johnny are putting the past behind them to unite their dojos, and will team up against Cobra Kai for a showdown at the All Valley tournament. The catch is, whoever loses has to disband their dojo. Plus, Thomas Ian Griffin returns as The Karate Kid Part 3 villain Terry Silver – and a fifth season is already in the works.
