Everything coming to Netflix in December 2018

For many, December means making Christmas lists, planning Hanukkah menus, and untangling endless strands of wintery lights. For us TV and movie lovers, the beginning of December requires the completion of an even more daunting task: We have to get that queue ready. 

Fortunately, Netflix is here to help out. This December, the streaming service is teeing up lots of holiday offerings as well as some not so seasonal selections. Here’s what’s available. 

At the start of the month, classic comedies like Baby Mama and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs will appear alongside tense dramas like District 9 and The Lobster. As the weeks go along, we’ll be greeted by Chilling Adventures of Sabrina‘s holiday episode, Ellen DeGeneres’ new stand-up special, and the streaming debut of Avengers: Infinity War. 

Check out everything coming to and going from Netflix this December below.

Top Pick: The Big Lebowski (1998)

“I’m the Dude, so that’s what you call me. That or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.”

Love it or hate it, The Big Lebowski is an iconic cult classic for a reason. From bowling alley gun fights to nihilistic bathtub ferrets, The Dude faces some harrowing obstacles on his heroic pursuit of a replacement rug—a number of which you really have to see to believe. 

Those who have already watched this Coen brothers’ masterpiece likely don’t need to be persuaded towards an encore, but if you’re one of the few who saw it and hated it? Well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

The Big Lebowski begins streaming on Netflix December 1.
