Everything British Worth Streaming in December 2023

It's the end of 2023, and the holidays are in full swing in most places, from Christmas carols in shops to emails blanketing your inbox with gift-giving ideas. Streaming services are also getting in on the act, with Christmas movies and specials all heading this way for the final month of the year. PBS will bring the usual Call The Midwife holiday special, a new helping of Mary Berry, and lots of Walter Presents. However, your local public television channels are not alone, as several other streaming services will also carry the Christmas editions of British favorites as well.

Getting in on the Anglophile action also means that, for the first time, December is not nearly the slim pickings British TV fans are accustomed to. Looking back over the past few years, when the end of the year rolls around, most of the usual suspects are too busy with American holiday fare to pay attention to stuff coming in from overseas. But between the strike shutting down filming, Doctor Who settling into its new home of Disney+ (where Americans can finally watch it without commercial interruptions like the Queen and the BBC intended), and a few well-placed Festive specials from across the pond, it seems like just about everyone (save Peacock, which is sticking to sports, thanks!) has something to offer this year. Even HBO and Max, which have no new debuts, still have multiple episodes of The Gilded Age Season 2 left to run up to the holidays.

So, what's coming to streaming this December in U.K. programming? Here's a complete rundown.
