Only one month remains before 2025 TV officially sizzles up and ceases to exist, coinciding with the final season of Stranger Things and a slew of New Year's Eve specials. Thankfully, it'll lead right into the 2026 TV schedule, but there are still a slew of premieres, winter finales, stand-up specials and more to enjoy before truly calling it quits. (To say nothing of all the NCAA and NFL football.)
Be sure to bookmark all those upcoming 2025 Christmas movies airing soon, as well as Hallmark's holiday movie schedule, but save lots of room for all the non-Christmas fare coming as well. Also, get ready to bid temporary farewells to the bulk of everything airing on network TV, with midseason finales popping up all over the place. We've noted the full-on season finales lower down.

December 2025 TV Premiere Dates
One end-of-year holiday deserves some more, and December always delivers tons of family-friendly parades and specials to both celebrate Christmas and beyond, while also setting up to welcome in the new year, often with Ryan Seacrest involved in some way. (Not to mention the plethora of new made-for-TV Christmas movies debuting on Hallmark, GAF and more.) For all the yuletide cheer, December features some brutal debuts from TV creators like Kurt Sutter, Steven S. DeKnight, and...Rowan Atkinson, as well as the latest streaming retrospective for Taylor Swift fans.
