As the end of the year draws near, audiences love to check out the best Christmas movies on Netflix -- some of which have seen their debuts on the 2022 Netflix movies release schedule already. However, the best movies on Netflix (as well as the best TV shows on Netflix) that appear on the Netflix Top 10 tend to be a little more diverse, even in a specifically festive time like this and especially when factoring in the new TV shows and movies on Netflix. See for yourself by browsing through this breakdown of what made it on to Netflix's trending page each day of December 2022 below.

As the end of the holiday season drew closer, it was no wonder why activity on the Netflix Top 10 appeared a bit slimmer. This would also explain why yet another new, original Christmas movie entered movie entered the ranks on Wednesday, December 21, 2022.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Wednesday, December 21, 2022

As The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari, Prisoners, I Believe in Santa continued to lead Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S., they were joined in fourth place by another holiday-themed comedy called A Not So Merry Christmas. The Mexican comedy with a fun fantasy element was followed by Bullet Train -- essentially swapping places with The Big 4 -- while Belleville Cop was demoted three spots lower, Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio dropped down two places, and Sing 2 continued its comeback by rounding out the bottom.

While a new holiday-themed feature appeared among the platform's most popular movies, the only title of that nature on Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. -- A Storm for Christmas -- actually took a slight dip in popularity to round out the bottom. Meanwhile, Firefly Lane proved hotter than Too Hot to Handle this time, The Unbroken Voice and Last Chance U: Basketball stuck together they each traveled up a peg, and everything else -- including returning leader The Recruit -- stayed the same.

A former, long-standing champion made a sudden surprise comeback to the Netflix Top 10 just in time for the holidays? That was not the only update to occur on Tuesday, December 20, 2022... on the list for the platform's most popular, movies that is.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Tuesday, December 20, 2022

For the first time in the month of December 2022, Illumination Entertainment's musical sequel Sing 2 -- which endured an incredible tenure on Netflix's Top 10 Moves in the U.S. in previous months -- entered the ranks at Number Nine between A Bad Moms Christmas and Storks. Meanwhile, Belleville Cop took a major four-peg leap to sit above fellow action comedies The Big 4 and Bullet Train as the top three remain the same.

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Tuesday, December 20, 2022

In a not too terribly rare case -- especially for Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. -- the list of the platform's most popular series had not changed its order since the day before. Once again, Noah Centineo's action series The Recruit -- one of Netflix's biggest December releases -- led the pack above Wednesday and Harry & Meghan while sports docuseries Last Chance U: Basketball rounded out the bottom underneath Norwegian dramedy A Storm for Christmas and Colombian, biographical music series The Unbroken Voice.

The start of a new week brings some major changes to the Netflix Top 10, especially when it comes to the movie side of the list, as a Netflix original documentary has become the new champ. The list of trending TV titles also saw some minor changes over the past 24 hours, but its champion lives to see another day.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Monday, December 19, 2022

The captivating  Netflix original documentary The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari, which premiered in the ninth spot on Saturday, December 17th, has quickly risen to the top of the list, and is currently the most popular movie on the platform. This means Prisoners, I Believe in Santa, and Bullet Train, were knocked down a peg from their spots held over the weekend. The Big 4 and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio also swapped places, pushing the stop-motion animated film out of the Top 5 for the first time since its debut earlier in the month. The rest of the list consists of Bad Moms Christmas, Belleville Cop, Who Killed Santa? A Murderville Murder Mystery, and Storks.

  • 1. The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Monday, December 19, 2022

Although the Netflix Top Movies list is all switched up to start the week, the TV side is more stable with the top four shows remaining unchanged from Sunday. The Recruit, Wednesday, Harry & Meghan, and Sonic Prime are all holding onto their first through fourth spots, and the only change from the past 24 hours being Too Hot to Handle entering the Top 5. Firefly Lane continues its trend of bouncing around the middle of the pack, and currently sits in sixth-place, with the true crime docuseries Don't Pick Up the Phone right behind. A Storm for Christmas, The Unbroken Voice, and Last Chance U: Basketball round out the Top 10. 

  • 1. The Recruit

There wasn’t much to write home about on Saturday when it comes to the Netflix Top 10, but that’s changed today, Sunday, December 18. The biggest piece of news is that a new champion has emerged at the top of the TV list, pushing past Meghan & Harry in the process. A few interesting movies have entered the fray as well. So let’s cut the formalities and discuss!

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Sunday, December 18, 2022

Prisoners, I Believe in Santa and Bullet Train (once again) occupy the top three spots when it comes to films. Documentary The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari made some tremendous progress, as it rose from No. 9 to 4, after finding a place in the standing just yesterday. Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio stepped down ever so slightly. Making its debut in the lineup today is Netflix original The Big 4 – an action flick – that’s currently in sixth place. Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery didn’t move a muscle, while Storks and The Best of Me bothfell. Finally, the tenth slot features a fresh face in A Bad Mom’s Christmas, which should satisfy those looking for a raunchy, yuletide treat: 

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. I Believe in Santa
  • 3. Bullet Train
  • 4. The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari
  • 5. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
  • 6. The Big 4
  • 7, Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery
  • 8. Storks
  • 9. The Best of Me
  • 10. A Bad Mom's Christmas

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Sunday, December 18, 2022

The biggest news of the day is that Noah Centineo’s The Recruit is now No. 1 among TV shows. Wednesday continues its stint in second place, while the previous head of the pack, Meghan & Harry, is in third. Sonic Prime stayed at the fourth position, and Don’t Pick Up the Phone and Too Hot To Handle switched places. Firefly Lane didn’t end up budging either, though A Storm for Christmas did make some moves. And last but not least, Last Chance U: Basketball and The Unbroken Voice have the last two spaces: 

  • 1. The Recruit
  • 2. Wednesday
  • 3. Meghan & Harry
  • 4. Sonic Prime
  • 5. Don't Pick Up the Phone
  • 6. Too Hot Too Handle
  • 7. Firefly Lane
  • 8. A Storm for Christmas
  • 9. Last Chance U: Basketball
  • 10. The Unbroken Voice

Friday kicked off the weekend on a solid note, as it saw a number of interesting entries on the Netflix Top 10 lists. Subscription-holders seem to be quite pleased with the offerings, as there haven’t been any massive changes on this fine Saturday, December 17. However, there are a few new additions to the ranks. One of those is a spy series starring a certain rom-com heartthrob and another is a documentary about a volcano. 

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Saturday, December 17, 2022

The first five spots on the roster of movies have not changed over the last 24 hours. I suppose that makes sense, given the likes of Prisoners, Bullet Train and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio are widely entertaining. The 2016 animated flick Storks only slipped from one place, while Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery jumped three. The Best of Me was pushed back just a bit, and behind it is The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari, a documentary that sheds light on a true tragedy. And closing everything out is 21 Jump Street, which is holding on by a thread: 

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. I Believe in Santa
  • 3. Bullet Train
  • 4. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • 5. Burnt
  • 6. Storks
  • 7. Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery
  • 8. The Best of Me
  • 9. The Volcano: Rescue from Whakaari
  • 10. 21 Jump Street

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Saturday, December 17, 2022

Harry & Meghan still holds first place when it comes to TV, and Wednesday is once again on its heels today. In third place is Noah Centineo’s spy-adventure series, The Recruit, which premiered on Friday. The To All the Boys alum is having a big year, as he recently starred as Atom Smasher in the DC Comics flick Black Adam. The new show’s arrival effectively caused Sonic Prime to hit a spot lower than the one it had yesterday. In fact, each of the shows that follow through No. 9 also dropped a single place and, all things considered, that’s not too shabby. A Storm for Christmas was added to the pile today and serves as yet another potential holiday offering for viewers: 

  • 1. Harry & Meghan
  • 2. Wednesday
  • 3. The Recruit
  • 4. Sonic Prime
  • 5. Too Hot To Handle
  • 6. Don't Pick Up the Phone
  • 7. Firefly Lane
  • 8. Last Chance U: Basketball
  • 9. The Unbroken Voice
  • 10. A Storm for Christmas

As we reached a new weekend, the Netflix Top 10 gave us a couple new prospects for what to watch, including one feature-length, improvisational holiday romp and an animated series inspired by one of the most popular video game characters ever. The hierarchy on each list also changed slightly on Friday, December 16, 2022. 

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Friday, December 16, 2022

As I Believe in Santa ascended to second place on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. between Prisoners and Bullet Train, it was joined by another holiday comedy debuting at the bottom called Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery. This special, spun-off from the star-studded improvisational comedy series, reunites Will Arnett with Jason Bateman as they attempt to solve the case of Santa Claus' death. Meanwhile, Burnt found itself a higher place on the food chain (as did The Best of Me and 21 Jump Street) as Storks flew a bit south and Emily the Criminal sank from fifth to eighth place.

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. I Believe in Santa
  • 3. Bullet Train
  • 4. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • 5. Burnt
  • 6. The Best of Me
  • 7. Storks
  • 8. Emily the Criminal
  • 9. 21 Jump Street
  • 10. Who Killed Santa?: A Murderville Murder Mystery

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Friday, December 16, 2022

Less than a week after it made a comeback to first place on Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S., Wednesday was once again dethroned by Harry & Meghan after the docuseries' next batch of episodes premiered. Coming in third place this time was Sonic Prime -- a new Netflix original animated series in which the lightning-fast video game hero is tasked with a saving a new multiverse. 

  • 1. Harry & Meghan
  • 2. Wednesday
  • 3. Sonic Prime
  • 4. Too Hot to Handle
  • 5. Don’t Pick Up the Phone
  • 6. Firefly Lane
  • 7. Last Chance U: Basketball
  • 8. The Unbroken Voice
  • 9. Dead to Me
  • 10. Snack vs. Chef

Just when you thought the Netflix Top 10 was running low on holiday cheer so far into the season, a new, original Christmas rom-com entered the ranks. Also true crime fans may have already watched one of the additions to the trending list for Thursday, December 15, 2022.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Thursday, December 15, 2022

Making an impressive debut on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. in third below Prisoners and Bullet Train was I Believe in Santa, in which a scrooged woman (Christina Moore) finds herself falling for a man (John Ducey), who not only loves Christmas but still waits around for Old St. Nick each year. The rom-com caused a few titles to stumble a bit lower on the list with Storks taking the biggest hit (descending from fifth to eighth), while The Best of Me managed to get the best of seventh place. 

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. Bullet Train
  • 3. I Believe in Santa
  • 4. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • 5. Emily the Criminal
  • 6. Burnt
  • 7. The Best of Me
  • 8. Storks
  • 9. God’s Crooked Lines
  • 10. 21 Jump Street

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Thursday, December 15, 2022

Romantic reality competition series Too Hot to Handle got even hotter, rising up three pegs on Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. to secure second place, but could not dethrone Wednesday. Also shaking things up by entering the ranks at Number Four was the new docuseries Don't Pick Up the Phone, which explores the topic of scam callers with special focus on the shocking case of a strip search conducted on an innocent fast food worker.

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Too Hot to Handle
  • 3. Harry & Meghan
  • 4. Don’t Pick Up the Phone
  • 5. Firefly Lane
  • 6. Last Chance U: Basketball
  • 7. The Unbroken Voice
  • 8. Snack vs. Chef
  • 9. Dead to Me
  • 10. The Crown

The latest season of an original, inspiring sports docuseries dribbled its way on to  the Netflix Top 10. Additional updates to the lists for Wednesday, December 14, 2022, were decidedly minimal.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Wednesday, December 14, 2022

The first half of Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. saw no change to its order from the day before, with viewers still supposedly captivated by the ending of Prisoners or the wondrous visuals of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. However, Bradley Cooper's Burnt leapt from ninth place to sixth, sending God's Crooked Lines, The Best of Me, and 21 Jump Street each down a peg.

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. Bullet Train
  • 3. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • 4. Emily the Criminal
  • 5. Storks
  • 6. Burnt
  • 7. God’s Crooked Lines
  • 8. The Best of Me
  • 9. 21 Jump Street
  • 10. Troll

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Wednesday, December 14, 2022

The first half of Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. also saw no change to its order from the day before, with viewers still seemingly captivated by the questions Wednesday Season 1 raises or by the intriguing and revealing love story of Harry & Meghan. However, the second season of Last Chance U: Basketball entered the ranks at Number Six, bringing Snack vs. Chef, Dead to Me, and 1899 down a peg each, while Love Island  jumped ship... for now.

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Harry & Meghan
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Too Hot to Handle
  • 6. Last Chance U: Basketball
  • 7. Snack vs. Chef
  • 8. Dead to Me
  • 9. 1899
  • 10. The Crown

Tuesday, December 13, 2022, was a bit of a slow day for the Netflix Top 10, especially in regards to what TV shows audiences were streaming. However, the platform's most popular movies boasted a new addition in the form of a tasty dramedy from 2015.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Tuesday, December 13, 2022

Denis Villeneuve's Prisoners was still locked in at Number One on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S., and most of its subordinates -- such as Bullet Train and the acclaimed new take on Pinocchio from Guillermo del Toro -- also had not budged. However, The Best of Me jumped from ninth to seventh while Troll tumbled to the bottom as Bradley Cooper's delicious food movie, Burnt, was ordered in at ninth place.

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. Bullet Train
  • 3. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio
  • 4. Emily the Criminal
  • 5. Storks
  • 6. God’s Crooked Lines
  • 7. The Best of Me
  • 8. 21 Jump Street
  • 9. Burnt
  • 10. Troll

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Tuesday, December 13, 2022

In addition to, once again, having no new titles to boast, the Netflix Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. were still dominated by the likes of Wednesday, Harry & Meghan, and Firefly Lane in the top three. However, the bottom four was shuffled up a bit with Dead to Me swapping with 1899 (which had a wild ending) and Love Island taking ninth place while The Crown was demoted a peg. 

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Harry & Meghan
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Too Hot to Handle
  • 6. Snack vs. Chef
  • 7. Dead to Me
  • 8. 1899
  • 9. Love Island
  • 10. The Crown

As a new champion gained the lead spot among the movies on Netflix Top 10, a Nicholas Sparks adaptation started getting some of the best attention it has since its 2014 release. There were also a modest update to the order of the platform's most popular TV shows on Monday, December 12, 2022.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Monday, December 12, 2022

After entering the ranks over the weekend at Number Two, Denis Villeneuve's nerve-racking crime drama Prisoners achieved First Place on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. above Bullet Train and Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio. New to the list on this day was at Number Nine was The Best of Me -- a romantic drama based on a Nicholas Sparks book starring Michelle Monaghan and James Marsden.

  • 1. Prisoners
  • 2. Bullet Train
  • 3. Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Monday, December 12, 2022

There was very little different about Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. from the day before, with Wednesday in the lead again and Harry & Meghan close behind. However, The Unbroken Voice did turn out to be hotter than Too Hot to Handle in this instance.  

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Harry & Meghan
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Too Hot to Handle

Saturday kicked off this weekend in a somewhat eventful way, but things seem to have slowed down today, when it comes to the Top 10. A number of the movie and TV productions seem locked into the positions that they held yesterday (though we all know that’ll change in time). Though there aren't many major shakeups, a few titles have arrived to stake their claims on the lists. So let’s talk about those and more, shall we?

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Sunday, December 11, 2022

It may not shock you to learn that Bullet Train remains in the lead when it comes to the most popular films. What you may not have expected, however, is Prisoners (Denis Villeneuve’s 2013 drama starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Hugh Jackman) getting added to the pack and taking second. Thanks to that development, Emily the Criminal, Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio, Troll, Storks and 21 Jump Street each lost a single spot. Another new face here is Netflix original God’s Crooked Lines, which is in the eighth position. And coming up the rear are Lady Chatterley’s Lover and The Noel Diary

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Prisoners
  • 3. Emily the Criminal
  • 4. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
  • 5. Troll
  • 6. Storks
  • 7. 21 jump Street
  • 8. God's Crooked Lines
  • 9. Lady Chatterley's Lover
  • 10. The Noel Diary

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Sunday, December 11, 2022

TV is a bit more uneventful today, unfortunately. The first six entries – Wednesday, Harry & Meghan, Firefly Lane, Too Hot to Handle, The Unbroken Voice and Snack vs. Chef – haven’t moved. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – sometimes things are a bit slow. But that makes it all the more satisfying (for me, at least) whenever there are notable day-to-day differences within the slate. The sci-fi thriller 1899 did, however, as it climbed a couple of spots. Dead to Me, The Crown and Love Island didn’t have such luck, as they all trended in the opposite direction: 

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Harry & Meghan
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4.. Too Hot to Handle
  • 5. The Unbroken Voice
  • 6. Snack vs. Chef
  • 7. 1899
  • 8. Dead to Me
  • 9. The Crown
  • 10. Love Island

We’re moving closer and closer to the end of the year and, as 2022 prepares to come to a close, new titles are dropping on Netflix – and some are making their way to the Top 10 lists. One of those recently released productions, Harry & Meghan, surpassed Wednesday to reach the top of the TV lineup, but how are things going today? Meanwhile, Guillermo del Toro's highly anticipated adaptation of Pinocchio premiered at the end of the week and has now found its own place among the content that’s trending on Saturday, December 10.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Saturday, December 10, 2022

On the movies list, Bullet Train is still sitting comfortably in the first car, or first place, I should say. The Aubrey Plaza-led Emily the Criminal is in the second slot and right behind the action flick’s caboose. (I’ll stop with the train puns now.) Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio debuts on the roster today in third place, which is quite impressive for the well-reviewed animated Netflix film. The once-dominant Troll slid down to fourth place, and Storks, Lady Chatterley’s Lover and The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus were slightly knocked back. Amid those setbacks, 21 Jump Street and The Noel Diary made some nice headway:

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Emily the Criminal
  • 3. Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
  • 4. Troll
  • 5. Storks
  • 6. 21 Jump Street
  • 7. Lady Chatterley's Lover
  • 8. The Noel Diary
  • 9. The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus
  • 10. Sniper: Rogue Mission

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Saturday, December 10, 2022

Well, it would seem that Wednesday snatched the figurative No. 1 crown from Harry & Meghan, which sits in second place now. Firefly Lane didn’t shift much as a result, as it only fell from No. 2 to No. 3 The fourth spot now belongs to the returning Too Hot to Handle, and that’s not surprising, considering there’s a new season out. The Unbroken Voice, Love Island and 1899 are in lower slots today, but those weren’t massive blows for them. In the TV sphere, Snack vs. Chef was pushed back the furthest in 24 hours, having descended three spots. And finally, Dead to Me and The Crown kept firm grasps on their respective positions:

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Harry & Meghan
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4. Too Hot to Handle
  • 5. The Unbroken Voice
  • 6. Snack vs. Chef
  • 7. Dead to Me
  • 8. Love Island
  • 9. 1899
  • 10. The Crown

After more than two weeks with Wednesday in the lead, the trending TV shows on the Netflix Top 10 crowned a new champion. There were also a few other interesting developments to the order of both that list and that of the platform's most popular movies on Friday, December 9, 2022.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Friday, December 9, 2022

While it did not surpass Bullet Train's continued lead on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S., Aubrey Plaza's Emily the Criminal did manage to take down the monster hit Troll just a hair farther down the peak. Meanwhile, Storks swapped spots with Lady Chatterley's Lover and we could have said the same thing about action thrillers Sniper: Rogue Mission and My Name is Vendetta if 21 Jump Street had not taken sixth place instead of the former. 

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Emily the Criminal
  • 3. Troll
  • 4. Storks
  • 5. Lady Chatterley’s Lover
  • 6. 21 Jump Street
  • 7. Sniper: Rogue Mission
  • 8. The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus
  • 9. The Noel Diary
  • 10. My Name is Vendetta 

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Friday, December 9, 2022

While The Crown no longer occupied the bottom of Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. (with Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields taking its place), another royal title would lead the pack in the form of the new, revealing docuseries, Harry & Meghan. However, Wednesday still made a killing in second place, Firefly Lane still burned bright right below it, and Too Hot to Handle was -- to speak aptly -- "hot" at Number Four.

  • 1. Harry & Meghan
  • 2. Wednesday
  • 3. Firefly Lane
  • 4. Too Hot to Handle
  • 5. The Unbroken Voice
  • 6. Snack vs. Chef
  • 7. Love Island

You will never look at Aubrey Plaza the same way again after watching her performance in the latest feature-length addition to the Netflix Top 10 for Thursday, December 8, 2022. The platform's most popular TV shows also had a new title to boast this day, among other slight changes.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Thursday, December 8, 2022

Entering the ranks in third place (below returning champions Bullet Train and the thought-provoking monster movie Troll) on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. was Emily the Criminal -- in which producer Aubrey Plaza stars as a woman who takes desperate measures to alleviate her student debt. Meanwhile, The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus seemed poised to become a new holiday classic after moving up a couple pegs following its bottom-dwelling debut.

The Netflix Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. was also led by the same two titles (Wedneday and Firefly Lane) and had a new third place occupant with the new season of Too Hot to Handle. The romantic reality series sent Snack vs. Chef down a couple pegs while Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields experienced a descent of the same degree and Dead to Me and 1899 fell just one spot each.

No longer was Scrooge: A Christmas Carol the only animated holiday movie on the Netflix Top 10 on Wednesday, December 7, 2022. In fact, the list would then boast three animated flicks with the addition of a funny, underrated family film from 2016.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Wednesday, December 7, 2022

Once again, top half of Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. consisted of the same leading four titles and a new fifth place occupant -- this time being writer and co-director Nicholas Stoller's clever animated comedy Storks, followed by 21 Jump Street making an impressive "jump" from its ninth place debut the day before. Also new to the list at the bottom of the list another animated movie about babies -- The Boss Baby: Christmas Bonus, which is a holiday special spun-off from DreamWorks Animation's hit franchise in which the titular infant gets stranded at the North Pole. 

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Troll
  • 3. Lady Chatterley’s Lover
  • 4. My Name is Vendetta

  • 8. The Noel Diary

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Wednesday, December 7, 2022

Not only was Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S., once again, dominated by Wednesday -- the first season of which inspired a few questions -- on this particular Wednesday, but the list order was nearly exactly the same as it appeared the previous Tuesday. The only visible difference was that 1899 had ascended from ninth place to eighth while My Unorthodox Life shifted from eighth place to ninth.

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Firefly Lane
  • 3. Snack vs. Chef
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
  • 6. Love Island
  • 7. Dead to Me
  • 8. 1899
  • 9. My Unorthodox Life
  • 10. The Crown

The Netflix Top 10 would still boast the same movie and TV show at Number One on each list. However, there were a few slight shake-ups and another feature-length title entering the ranks on Tuesday, December 6, 2022.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Tuesday, December 6, 2022

The leading half of Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. looked mostly the same, save Scrooge: A Christmas Carol making its way to fifth place and sticking close to fellow holiday original, The Noel Diary. The order of the bottom half, however, was all shook up and mostly due to the new addition of 2012's 21 Jump Street -- Phil Lord and Christopher Miller's hilarious update of the '80s TV crime drama -- at Number Nine.

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Troll
  • 3. Lady Chatterley’s Lover
  • 4. My Name is Vendetta 
  • 5. Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
  • 6. The Noel Diary
  • 7. Sniper: Rogue Mission
  • 8. Warriors of the Future
  • 9. 21 Jump Street
  • 10. Slumberland

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Tuesday, December 6, 2022

There were no new titles entering the ranks on Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S., but -- excluding Wednesday's lead with Firefly Lane's direct follow, Dead to Me still in seventh, and The Crown's continued reign at the bottom -- the order was notably different from the day before. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields took a dive to fifth below Snack vs. Chef and The Unbroken Voice while Love Island leapt from ninth place to sixth as My Unorthodox Life dropped a couple pegs and 1899 moved just one step below. 

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Firefly Lane
  • 3. Snack vs. Chef
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
  • 6. Love Island
  • 7. Dead to Me

More than a month had passed since Halloween ended, but chilling thrills and wicked mysteries still dominated the Netflix Top 10 on Monday, December 5, 2022. In fact, one of the most action-packed movies of the year managed to chug it way up to the Number One spot. 

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Monday, December 5, 2022

A day after debuting on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. in second place, the star-studded action flick Bullet Train surpassed Troll and became the new champion, while the rest of the top half looked mostly the same. The bottom half also consisted of the same titles, but in an entirely new order. Sniper: Rogue Mission swapped with Scrooge: A Christmas Carol (a new animated adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic), Slumberland rose to eighth place, Warriors of the Future descended to ninth, and Where The Crawdads Sing rounded out the bottom.

  • 1. Bullet Train
  • 2. Troll
  • 3. Lady Chatterley’s Lover
  • 4. My Name is Vendetta 
  • 5. The Noel Diary
  • 6. Sniper: Rogue Mission
  • 7. Scrooge: A Christmas Carol

  • 9. Warriors of the Future
  • 10. Where The Crawdads Sing

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Monday, December 5, 2022

Nearly two weeks since it debuted and immediately secured Number One, Wednesday remained at the top of Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. and was followed for the third day in a row by Firefly Lane and Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields. Meanwhile, Snack vs. Chef surpassed The Unbroken Voice, but that would cover the extent of the updates to the list. 

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Firefly Lane
  • 3. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
  • 4. Snack vs. Chef
  • 5. The Unbroken Voice

Things are pretty slow when it comes to the Top 10 lists today and, in all honesty, that’s to be expected on a Sunday. That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been any significant developments though. As a matter of fact, the movies list includes a fresh face, and it’s definitely the kind of jolt viewers could use to close out their weekends on a high (and adrenaline-filled) note.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Sunday, December 4, 2022

While Troll still has the top spot locked down, the Brad Pitt-led Bullet Train has zoomed into the station to take second place. (If you’re a fan of action flicks like Deadpool 2 or just want some good Thomas the Tank Engine references, then it’s right up your alley.) Lady Chatterley's Lover stayed put and now sits ahead of My Name Is Vendetta. The Noel Diary, Sniper: Rogue Mission and Where the Crawdads Sing didn’t move too much, but the same can’t be said for Warriors of Future and Slumberland, which took more considerable hits. However, Scrooge: A Christmas Carol seems to be getting closer to cracking one of the Top 5 slots:

  • 1. Troll
  • 2. Bullet Train
  • 3. Lady Chatterley's Lover
  • 4. My Name is Vendetta
  • 5. The Noel Diary
  • 6. Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
  • 7. Sniper: Rogue Mission
  • 8. Warriors of Future
  • 9. Where the Crawdads Sing
  • 10. Slumberland

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Sunday, December 4, 2022

The positions are pretty locked down when it comes to the biggest TV productions on the streamer. Wednesday, Firefly Lane, Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields and The Unbroken Voice occupied the first four slots yesterday and still do today. But in more exciting news, Snack vs. Chef made the leap from ninth to fifth place. In addition, My Unorthodox Life – which debuted on the list at No. 10 on Saturday – has the sixth spot now. Dead to Me dropped two spaces, while 1899 only lost one. And finally, Love Island and The Crown, however, had larger dips:

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Firefly Lane
  • 3. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Snack vs. Chef
  • 6. My Unorthodox Life
  • 7. Dead to Me
  • 8. 1899
  • 9. Love Island 
  • 10. The Crown

The first weekend of the month has arrived, which means that there are a number of folks who’ll likely be using the downtime to check out what the Netflix Top 10 lists have to offer. Though the month is still young and there are big titles set to drop before the end of the year, things already seem to be off to a nice start on the platform. So at the risk of wasting time, let’s take a look at what’s trending high this Saturday, December 3.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Saturday, December 3, 2022

Troll, the recently released action-fantasy flick once again reigns supreme at No. 1 and, with the positive critical reviews it’s received, there’s a chance it’ll stay there for a little while longer. My Name Is Vendetta, a suspense film, saw a bit of forward progress, as it climbed up a spot. Those looking for a spot of romance can indulge in their fix by checking out Lady Chatterley's Lover, which made its way onto the list today. Warriors of Future, which hit the steamer back in August, has also landed a spot in the Top 5. Meanwhile, The Noel Diary saw a slight drop as did Slumberland and Where the Crawdads Sing. Southpaw, which features an Oscar-worthy turn from Jake Gyllenhaal, fell three places and is now behind new animated addition Scrooge: A Christmas Carol:

  • 1. Troll 
  • 2. My Name is Vendetta
  • 3. Lady Chatterley's Lover
  • 4. The Noel Diary
  • 5. Warriors of Future
  • 6. Sniper: Rogue Mission
  • 7. Slumberland
  • 8. Where the Crawdads Sing
  • 9. Scrooge: A Christmas Carol
  • 10. Southpaw

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Saturday, December 3, 2022

The creepy and kooky Wednesday continues to weave its magic on Netflix, as the Addams Family offshoot still has its grip on first place. Firefly Lane, which just dropped its second season, has tapped into the chat, taking No. 2. That shakeup caused a chain reaction that led to Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields, The Unbroken Voice and Dead to Me shifting to varying degrees. Other titles that saw losses are Love Island, 1899, The Crown and Snack vs. Chef. And another program to claim a spot today is My Unorthodox Life:

  • 1. Wednesday
  • 2. Firefly Lane
  • 3. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
  • 4. The Unbroken Voice
  • 5. Dead to Me
  • 6. Love Island
  • 7. 1899
  • 8. The Crown
  • 9. Snack vs. Chef
  • 10. My Unorthodox Life

A new monster hit stomped out the rest of the competition on the Netflix Top 10 on Friday, December 2, 2022. However, it was not the only new title to boast among the platform's most popular movies and TV shows this day. 

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Friday, December 2, 2022

The new Norwegian action-fantasy Troll -- which has no connection to Netflix's animated Trolls TV show -- made a gargantuan debut, immediately placing first on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S., which also saw the addition of a more grounded action thriller called Sniper: Rogue Mission coming in at Number Nine.  Meanwhile, former champion The Noel Diary became the list's sole holiday movie, audiences checked out Take Your Pills: Xanax (which ascended three pegs), and Southpaw took a slight tumble from third place to sixth.

  • 2. The Noel Diary
  • 3. My Name is Vendetta

While Wednesday and Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields still led the pack, Dead to Me earned a new lease on life in third place while 1899 suddenly sank below Love Island and The Unbroken Voice.

The dawn of a new month does not always bring a new batch of titles trending on the Netflix Top 10. However, that was certainly not the case for Thursday, December 1, 2022... at least for the platform's most popular movies, which included a gritty crime thriller, an informative health documentary, and a new holiday comedy.

Netflix Top 10 Movies For Thursday, December 1, 2022

Days after it started trending on Netflix in November 2022, Southpaw achieved a "one-two-three punch" by surpassing Slumberland, Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich, and The Swimmers. Yet, it still came in just third place underneath The Noel Diary -- still at Number One despite its troubling ending -- and new Italian revenge thriller, My Name is Vendetta. Also new on Netflix's Top 10 Movies in the U.S. in seventh place was Take Your Pills: Xanax -- a follow-up to a 2018 doc that, this time, focuses on the commonly used sedative -- and another holiday comedy -- this one from Brazil -- called Christmas Full of Grace at the bottom.

  • 1. The Noel Diary
  • 2. My Name is Vendetta

Netflix Top 10 TV Shows For Thursday, December 1, 2022

While the trending movies for this day saw a number of new titles and shake-ups, the same could not be said about Netflix's Top 10 TV Shows in the U.S. The order was 80 percent identical to the day before, with Wednesday -- featuring an acclaimed lead performance by Jenna Ortega -- still firmly in the lead above new Southern true crime docuseries Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields, international fantasy drama 1899, etc. The only major update was seeing popular children's program Little Angel in ninth place and more lighthearted docuseries, Pepsi, Where's My Jet?, at the bottom, instead of the opposite.

  • 2. Crime Scene: The Texas Killing Fields
