Mariah Carey has woken up from her slumber, which means the holiday season is in full swing. It’s about to be December, that time of year filled with honey-glazed hams, presents no one wants, parades no one watches, and unwanted relatives. Disney+ will do its best to celebrate the season with its lineup of new and returning Disney+ shows, original movies, and season finales that are set to stream in December 2023.
Some of November’s highlights include the season 2 finale of The Santa Clauses, the season 2 debut of Marvel’s What If…?, the streaming debut of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, more Doctor Who specials with David Tennant, and the premiere of the new Percy Jackson series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Below, we’ve provided the full list of everything new on Disney+ in December 2023.
