Every TV Show, Movie, and Original Coming to Netflix This Week (December 23)

Netflix is spreading some yuletide cheer this week as a sleigh-load of new titles arrive in the streaming library. Marking some of the final additions of 2024, this week’s roundup includes an all-new Netflix original series, comedy special, and live events, and they’re all Netflix originals.

Although this week’s offerings are light, they give subscribers plenty to get excited about. Serving as one of the final comedy specials of the year, and his third for Netflix, Your Friend Nate Bargatze will see the comedian bringing his humor to the screen as he discusses everything from pets to pizza. Then on Christmas Day, Netflix will host its first-ever NFL Christmas Gameday live. The event will kick off at 1 p.m. ET when the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers take the field. Following a NFL halftime show performance by Beyoncé, the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens Steelers will battle it out at 4:30 p.m. ET. This week’s lineup also includes the highly-anticipated return of Squid Game.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer’s three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
