What is Netflix’s point of view when it comes to all the new shows it’s releasing in December? Of course, you have classic Christmas feel-good movies but the ones that tackle important topics as of late —generational dysfunction, the evilness of mega-millionaire technopreneurs, and good old hero-saves-the-day plots — are worth a watch.
Here, the new shows on Netflix in December to add to queue.
Pictured Above: Another retelling of the classic Christmas movie — children mysteriously boarding the Polar Express train without any form of adult supervision — from 2004 that still holds up cinematically today.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Whihe first Knives Out in 2019 was outstanding, filmmaker Rian Johnson brings the forgotten art of proper film script writing to life and revives acting in its more pure state. If you’re a fan of Usual Suspects, the 1995 neo-noir mystery thriller film, you’ll loves this film as much.
