It’s hard to believe that 2022 is almost over, but Netflix is ending the year on a high note with lots of highly anticipated movies and series to keep you entertained on those long winter nights.
This month there is plenty of holiday fare and some highly anticipated shows and documentaries to keep you occupied all month long.
Sign up for Netflix (opens in new tab), as well as learn about some of the best streaming deals out there right now.
Let’s take a look at what’s new on Netflix in December 2022
Best movie on Netflix in December: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (December 23)
Rian Johnson dazzled mystery buffs with 2019’s surprise megahit Knives Out, a movie that featured an all-star cast and Chris Evans in a cable knit sweater. The fun continues with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, with Daniel Craig returning to the role of Southern gentleman and famed detective Benoit Blanc. This time around the action takes place in Greece, with a new cast of characters in the middle of a mystery that needs to be solved.
If you didn’t see Glass Onion while it was in theaters over the Thanksgiving holiday, you’re in for a treat when Glass Onion premieres at the end of the month on the streaming platform.
Best TV show on Netflix in December: The Witcher: Blood Origin (December 25)
With news that Henry Cavill is passing The Witcher torch to Liam Hemsworth, there has been a lot of attention on the franchise and its future. But worry not, Witcher fans, for the franchise is about to expand yet again with a new limited series, The Witcher: Blood Origins.
Arriving Christmas Day, Blood Origins looks to be the gift that keeps on giving with an all-star cast that includes Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once), Sophia Brown and Laurence O’Fuarain. Set over a thousand years before the events of Cavill’s story, Blood Origins follows a group of outcasts in an Elven world who set out to fight an evil empire.
If your wish list includes high fantasy, The Witcher: Blood Origins is the perfect gift.
Best documentary on Netflix in December: Harry & Meghan docuseries (December 8)
The buzz surrounding the upcoming Harry & Meghan docuseries on Netflix has reached a fever pitch.
The docuseries features an inside look at the home life of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Instead of a reality series, it’s an honest representation of their life in California and focuses on their love story. Liz Garbus (Love, Marilyn) directed the project after replacing Garrett Bradley.
The project was due to launch sooner but was delayed after the Queen’s death.
