As if the holidays weren’t already busy enough, this week is bookended by must-see live events. On Friday night, get ready for the global showdown Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua, in which the boxing disruptor challenges the heavyweight powerhouse to a match, streaming live from Miami, Florida at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

The following Thursday, gear up for Christmas Gameday, two marquee games that showcase numerous NFC division rivals: Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Commanders and Detroit Lions vs. Minnesota Vikings. Kicking off the NFL doubleheader is none other than Kelly Clarkson, who will perform her holiday hit “Underneath the Tree.”

Beyond live programming, there is a fresh batch of titles this week: Goodbye June, Kate Winslet’s emotional directorial debut about a matriarchal departure; and Tom Segura: Teacher, the comedian’s fifth stand-up special on the service.

Additionally, the Downton Abbey sequel Downton Abbey: A New Era, the star-studded survival thriller Eden, and all seven seasons of The Closer — starring Kyra Sedgwick as a police deputy chief who handles high-profile homicides — will all be ready to stream … before the anticipated new batch of Stranger Things episodes that debut on Christmas Day.

Scroll on for more titles coming to Netflix the week of Dec. 19 through Dec. 25.
