New on Starz: All the Movies and TV Coming in December

December is so close that you can hear the sleigh bells, and with the holidays come cold weather, lots of last-minute gift shopping, unnecessary family dinners and the most exciting of them all: the updating of your favorite streaming apps’ slew of titles. The last month of the year is the perfect time to unwind away from the cold, with a cup of hot chocolate and curled up on the couch ready to stream the night away. Starz has a handful of great titles coming to the service next month—an eclectic mix of horror hits and holiday classics. Here’s our breakdown of what you can’t miss this coming month.

Ah, Christmas—a season of love, sharing and good feelings. Well, not for Ebenezer Scrooge. Disney’s 2009 feature A Christmas Carol (dir. Robert Zemeckis) is returning to your screens to get all in your face about being a good person, or else ghosts will haunt you and you’ll see how miserable life can get. If you’re not too keen on teaching your kids life lessons via film, also available are My Little Pony: A Very Minty Christmas and Caillou’s Holiday Movie. Starz is also updating their holiday lineup of available series episodes. Their unscripted documentary series, America to Me, is airing an episode that takes place over Thanksgiving and Christmas. The show, which presents an exclusive look into an academic year at suburban Chicago’s Oak Park and River Forest High School, made it to the final spot of Paste’s TV Power Rankings in September 2018. The Bernie Mac Show, Sabrina, The Animated Series and Digimon Adventure are a few of the numerous other shows that will be getting a little holiday-themed episode in their lineups.

For the less holiday-oriented, Starz is refreshing their movie choices with some popular titles. 1997’s Good Will Hunting, one of our 15 classic fall movies, is available on the very first of the month and is joined by Quentin Tarantino’s Reservoir Dogs. Another notable title coming Dec. 1 is the 1995 film starring Antonio Banderas, Desperado. Also on the way are six short films from TheWrap’s Telling Our Stories short film competition during the Power Women Summit in October. Crystal Kayiza’s See You Next Time, a short film about a Chinese American nail technician and her black client, took home the grand prize. Season two of Idris Elba’s family comedy In the Long Run, inspired by his experience growing up in east London in the ‘80s, premieres exclusively on Starz on Dec. 6 with the Christmas special premiering on Dec. 20. A little late to the spooky season is the original Pet Sematary and Pet Sematary II, and cult-favorite Pumpkinhead, all getting on the app Dec. 13. Starz’s original documentary This Changes Everything—in which the misrepresentation of women in the industry is examined firsthand by some of Hollywood’s top talent behind and in front of the camera, including interviews with Meryl Streep and Cate Blanchett—will be live on the streaming service on Dec. 16. The latest installation in the Men in Black franchise, Men In Black: International, is rounding off 2019 and will be streamable on Dec. 21.

In with the new and out with the old—there are titles we wave goodbye to as the new year approaches. The Cher and Christina Aguilera musical Burlesque and coming-of-age European romance film Call Me By Your Name are leaving Starz on Dec. 15 and 27, respectively. There’s still time to catch the 1998 family favorite Babe: Pig in the City (one of our best movies of 1998) and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang as those depart on Dec. 31. Also leaving are Adam Sandler comedies Happy Gilmore and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry, and the six shorts from the Telling Our Stories competition.
