For Stranger Things season 5, three new episodes are scheduled to come out on Christmas Day as part of “Volume 2.”

Quick Scoop

  • Netflix is releasing season 5 in holiday chunks:
    • Volume 1: 4 episodes on November 26 (around U.S. Thanksgiving)
* **Volume 2: 3 episodes on December 25 (Christmas Day)**

* Finale: 1 extra-long episode on December 31 (New Year’s Eve)
  • So if you’re planning a Christmas binge, you’ll get three fresh episodes that day (time may shift slightly by time zone, but it’s the same Volume 2 drop).

In total, season 5 has 8 episodes, with the Christmas drop acting as the big middle “holiday gift” block.

TL;DR: For “how many Stranger Things episodes come out on Christmas,” the answer is three episodes , all bundled as Season 5 Volume 2.
