Winter is coming, which means it’s time to avoid your responsibilities, grab a blanket and cup of hot chocolate, and never leave the couch for days on end (except to get more hot chocolate). Netflix is making this challenging endeavor easier on you this month with new additions this December. Say “hello” to these great films coming December 1st and say “good-bye” to those finding themselves a spot on the shelf:

Highlights

The new additions this month come from Netflix originals, which are increasingly difficult to sort through based on volume alone. You’d be on that couch for days (but you will be anyways, so what’s the matter?) That’s not to say there’s no good media coming that has nothing to do with Netflix. If you love masculine dudes punching other dudes, you’ll love that Captain America: Civil War is making its way into your hands on Christmas Day. If you’re a fan of the dude-on-dude punching things genre but prefer your dudes scrawny, then The Rock will suit you just as well. As for on the way out this month, it’s a short list.
