The weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas are unforgiving, whether you are a student, working adult or just a holiday lover. Thankfully, studios know that too.

This weekend, Dec. 6-7, two new Christmas movies are hitting streamers to tide you over until the big day. But the holiday spirit doesn't stop the true crime or horror content — Netflix has a damning new documentary about a disgraced music mogul that has already skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot of their daily Top 10, beating out the wildly popular Stranger Things.

On the lighter side, two reality shows are back as well, from another Housewives installation to the second season of a real estate series.

And there's more! Here's a list of the eight best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them.

Five Nights at Freddy’s 2

It's been one year since the horrific nightmare (read: animatronic toys coming to life and slaughtering people) that took place at Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, and the town has turned the tale into a campy legend.

But when former security guard Mike's (Josh Hutcherson) little sister Abby (Piper Rubio) reconnects with the murderous beings, the horror comes back to life.

Five Nights at Freddy's 2 releases in theaters Dec. 5.

Sean Combs: The Reckoning

Few moguls in the music industry were more known, and perhaps more revered, than Sean "Diddy" Combs. But when his ex, singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, accused him of abuse and sexual assault in 2023 (allegations the rapper denied), the carefully stacked walls protecting Diddy started falling down, and his image was destroyed.

A year later, he was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. In July 2025, he was acquitted of the former two and found guilty of two counts of the latter. Now, a documentary — produced by the outspokenly anti-Diddy rapper 50 Cent — delves further.

Watch Sean Combs: The Reckoning on Netflix.

My Secret Santa

Ideas for Christmas movies never run short: put in a Santa, a sweet love story and a small town and you've got a sure formula that'll hit. And that's exactly the case in My Secret Santa, a story about a single mom (Alexandra Breckenridge) desperate to get a job to pay for her daughter's snowboarding lessons.

She disguises herself as a man to play Santa at a fancy ski resort, but when she starts to fall in love with the manager, things get a little trickier...

Watch My Secret Santa on Netflix.

Oh. What. Fun.

More often than not, moms are at the center of Yuletide festivities, from buying presents to cooking the feast. And what do they get in return? Ungrateful children, distracted husbands and messes to clean up. At least that's how Claire Clauster (Michelle Pfeiffer) feels in Oh. What. Fun.

So when her family literally leaves her behind as they're getting ready to go see a show, Claire decides to give herself a break and rediscover the holiday spirit without her pestering family by her side.

Watch Oh. What. Fun. on Prime Video.

Jay Kelly

George Clooney is a movie star playing a movie star in Jay Kelly, which follows the actor of the same name as he goes on a journey confronting his past and present after his daughter leaves during their last summer together, forcing Jay to reckon with his life choices. Or maybe he just needs to touch grass.

By his side is his devoted manager Ron, played by Adam Sandler, who has stirred Oscar buzz with his performance.

Watch Jay Kelly on Netflix.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw

You may not think of Diary of a Wimpy Kid as a Christmas movie, but Disney+ is here to prove you wrong as everyone's favorite wimpy kid, Greg Heffley (voiced by Aaron Harris), struggles to meet his dad's expectations.

When he's threatened with military school, Greg hatches a plan to shape up — and take on a trip to wilderness camp with his dad.

Watch Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw on Disney+.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15

The ladies of Beverly Hills are back (sans Garcelle Beauvais, drama that will surely be unpacked throughout the season), but signs aren't pointing to better than ever.

While Kyle Richards is figuring out what's next for her amid her split from Mauricio Umansky, her former best friend Dorit Kemsley seems to still be on the outs with both her and her estranged husband, P.K. Kemsley. Meanwhile, two new women join the group, including former Bravolebrity, fashion designer Rachel Zoe.

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo, next day on Peacock.

Owning Manhattan season 2

Ryan Serhant may have gotten his start on Bravo's Million Dollar Listing New York alongside his peers in the New York City market, but as the title of his Netflix show suggests, he's ready to take over on his own.

But, not quite. Joining him at Serhant, his agency, is a team of ambitious and ruthless brokers. With competing deals, massive egos and strong personalities threatening their workspace, can they band together to reach Serhant's goal of becoming the biggest agency in the world?
