Everything new on HBO Max in December 2025 – Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, Christmas crackers and more

With Thanksgiving done and Christmas round the corner, holiday season is in full swing, but it's not juts festive fare on offer from HBO Max this month.

Topping the list of the best HBO Max movies to be arriving this December is mock-rockumentary Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, which sees the legendary metal band reunite for one final farewell gig. Hilarity ensues. If authentic music docs are more your thing, then HBO Max has you covered there too, with their "Music Box" strand delivering tell-alls covering the likes of Jeff Buckley, Wizkid, Counting Crows and 'toddler pop'.

But if it is more seasonal viewing you're after, worry not, with Christmas classics such as The Shop Around the Corner and Christmas with the Kranks set to land on the streamer this month.

Just bare in mind however, that some titles are region specific, so there's a chance not everything will be available where you are. Nonetheless, there's still plenty to enjoy, so here's everything coming to HBO Max in December 2025.
