Alright, December is here, and you know what that means: chilly weather, holiday vibes, and endless excuses to cancel plans (politely, of course) and binge-watch! The OTT world has dropped some insane releases this month, so grab your snacks, snuggle up, and let me guide you through what you need to watch.

1. Squid Game Season 2

Okay, we’re all still traumatised by Season 1, but guess what? It’s back for another season! This time, Player 456 is trying to end the game for good, but who are we kidding? It’s going to get bloody, twisted, and very, VERY bingeable. Don’t forget to mentally prepare for the emotional chaos.

Streaming on Netflix on December 26

2. One Hundred Years of Solitude

Yes, the literary masterpiece is now a series. If you’re into magical realism, deep family drama, and stunning visuals, this is your vibe. Perfect for those I’m-too-artsy-for-basic-stuff moments.

3. Bandish Bandits Season 2

If music heals your soul (or you just love good drama), this is your cue to hit play. Radhe and Tamanna are back to serve musical magic with a side of romance. And Guess what I know someone from one of the girl band performances and I can't wait to watch.

4. Mismatched Season 3

Let’s be honest—Dimple and Rishi’s chaotic yet adorable love story has us hooked. If rom-coms are your guilty pleasure (no shame!), this season’s all set to serve laughs, drama, and the ultimate feels.

Sabrina Carpenter's Christmas special is bringing all the festive fun with musical performances, comedy sketches, and surprise duets with stars like Shania Twain and Kali Uchis. It’s a perfect mix of holiday cheer and Sabrina’s unique charm. I will honestly watch and talk about anything she puts out so this is a must-watch!

This thrilling spy drama stars Keira Knightley as Helen, a covert agent whose life is thrown into chaos after her lover is murdered. With help from her assassin best friend Sam, played by Ben Whishaw, Helen dives into London’s criminal underworld and global conspiracies, all while juggling the facade of a perfect politician’s wife.
