Your Week Just Got Booked: Every New Show and Movie Hitting Netflix December 15–21, 2025

This week on Netflix (Dec 15-21, 2025) is a strange little cocktail: cozy holiday romances, a creepy small-town thriller blast from the past, Emily in Paris packing her bags for Rome, and, sure, a Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua fight dropped in on Friday like a left hook. Let’s sort it out.

The holiday double feature: 'A Cowboy Christmas Romance' and 'Christmas at the Chalet'

First up on Monday, two fresh festive movies. 'A Cowboy Christmas Romance' follows Lexie, who heads back to her hometown to close a real estate deal and immediately runs into a brick wall in the form of a very handsome ranch owner who has zero interest in selling. You know the vibe. Also landing: 'Christmas at the Chalet,' where former TV host Lex (different Lex, different movie) gets snowed in with her son, her ex, and his new girlfriend at a chalet. Instead of spiraling, she picks up a job at the place and stumbles into what might actually be her purpose. It’s prime holiday comfort viewing, with a side of chaos.

'Castle Rock' Seasons 1-2 arrive

On Tuesday, Netflix drops both seasons of 'Castle Rock.' The show pieces together multiple lives orbiting the town of Castle Rock and lets those threads tangle into tense, twisty territory. If you missed it the first time, this is the full two-season run in one go.

'Emily in Paris' Season 5 pivots to Rome

Thursday is for Emily. Season 5 launches with her running the Rome office of Agence Grateau. New city, new power seat, same juggling act between her personal life and her career. It’s a clean chapter break for the show, and it gives it a different backdrop without changing what it is.

Also in the mix this week: Chapter 6 of kids adventure series 'The Creature Cases,' a new round of 'Culinary Class Wars,' Season 3 of 'The Manny,' the thriller 'Murder in Monaco,' the mystery-styled 'What’s in the Box?,' dance series '10DANCE,' and yet another holiday title, 'Christmas on the Alpaca Farm.' Friday brings a trio of serious-sounding films ('Breakdown: 1975,' 'The Great Flood,' and 'A Time For Bravery') and, yes, that 'Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua' event sitting right there on Netflix’s slate. Unexpected? A little.
