From holiday movies to binge-worthy docuseries and original shows, streaming services are upping the ante this month.

Netflix’s hit “Wednesday,” starring Jenna Ortega, drew 341 million viewer hours in its first week, a number that surpasses the record set by ”Stanger Things.” While this is a big win for the original show, it’s not the only binge-worthy hit streaming this month.

Here’s what’s coming to Hulu, Prime, Netflix and Disney+.

Hulu

“How The Grinch Stole Christmas” is currently the top streaming movie on Hulu. From a new dating show starring Taye Diggs to exciting original series like “Darby and the Dead” — a supernatural teen comedy — Hulu is the perfect place to sit back, grab a snack and binge this month.
