Top Streaming Picks for December 2025

December is shaping up to be an exciting month for streaming entertainment. Amazon Prime Video is adding big-name films like “A Minecraft Movie,” “Sinners,” and “The Naked Gun,” along with NFL Thursday Night Football games and a full slate of NBA matchups. Some top picks to look out for include “Reacher,” “Ballard,” and “Upload.” While the ads on Prime Video can be annoying, there’s still plenty to enjoy this month.

Over on Disney+, Taylor Swift fans will be thrilled with “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – The Final Show,” a concert film of the final Vancouver performance from her 2024 tour. Other highlights include new seasons of “Are You Sure?” featuring BTS members and “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” along with specials like “A CMA Country Christmas” and a Christmas Day NBA game.

Hulu’s offerings for December include the Disney+ adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” comedy specials, and network shows like “Grey’s Anatomy” and “The Simpsons.” While the library is solid, there’s nothing particularly groundbreaking coming to Hulu this month.

HBO Max has a quieter month, with highlights like the sequel to “The Brothers McMullen” indie film, a comedy special from “SNL” star Sarah Sherman, and musical documentaries. An exciting addition is the blockbuster animated action film “Ne Zha 2,” which was a huge hit in China.

As a bonus, HBO Max is adding all seven seasons of “Mad Men” in 4K for the first time. This move comes as Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company, looks to sell all or parts of itself by the end of the year, bringing potentially major changes to the industry. Some top picks for HBO Max in December include “The Pitt,” “The White Lotus,” and “Hacks.”

Overall, December offers a variety of streaming options for every taste, from music specials to sports events and groundbreaking series. Whether you’re a Taylor Swift enthusiast or a die-hard NBA fan, there’s something for everyone to enjoy this month.
