December 2025

The tree is trimmed and the presents are (hopefully) wrapped. All that’s left to do is celebrate with loved ones — whether that’s at church, cozied up with Christmas movies, or convincing everyone that matching pajamas are a good idea.

Three new episodes (5, 6, and 7) of Stranger Things Season 5 arrive on Netflix at 8 p.m. ET. Volume 2 brings more Upside Down chaos, as the final season ramps up before the December 31 finale.

This weeklong celebration (which runs until January 1) honors African culture with family time, good food, candle-lighting, and dancing.

The Backstreet Boys are back (alright) with their new Into The Millennium residency at Sphere Las Vegas. Fans can expect slick visuals, iconic throwbacks, and a boy band comeback with big arena energy.
