New Max movies are joining the popular streaming platform in December - and there's a real festive offering for TV movie fans, as well as the usual drop of big titles. Alongside OWN's trio of Christmas titles coming out in December, there's a bumper release on December 1 full of cult classics, and 2024's hit movie, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on December 6.

As one of the world's best streaming services, clearly Max came to compete as the year draws to a close. While they notoriously don't drop as many titles as other streamers, they've certainly bought some festive cheer. Plus, it doesn't end with movies as our guide to everything new on Max in November will show you. If you're still searching for more for those winter movie night-ins, the best Max movies also have a lot to offer, which is not surprising considering we're calling them the best on the platform. For now, let's look at the new movies on Max this December.
