The holidays are getting closer and what perfect way to celebrate the Christmas month than watching great movies every week — to add, watching great movies where one doesn't have to leave the house and pay for expensive movie tickets. And to give viewers something to look forward to, Netflix released a sampling of their new releases for this coming month of December. 

Movie Insider was able to get Netflix's December schedule. Even if this isn't the complete list yet, the movies listed are really worth waiting for. Do note that these movies are coming out on Netflix DVD, but will also be available in Blu-Ray for some movies. 

On Dec. 1, "The Hero of Color City" will be available. It's an adventure movie for kids to enjoy. 

On Dec. 8, "Let's Be Cops" will be released. The movie stars Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson wherein these two guys will play... well, cops. On the same day, the comedy "Frank" starring Michael Fassbender will also be released. 

On Dec. 11, it will be another happy day for the kids. "How to Train Your Dragon 2" will be available. 

On Dec. 15, the romantic love story "If I Stay" will be released. There will be other movies slated for release on this day, too. There's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," "Into the Storm," "Stonehearst Asylum" and "And So It Goes." 

On Dec. 22, the comedy "The Trip to Italy" will be made available. Fans of "The Trip" movie will definitely like this.
