Stranger Things season 5 does have episodes coming out on Christmas Day 2025, but whether you see them on Christmas depends on where you live.

Quick Scoop

  • Netflix is dropping Stranger Things season 5, Volume 2 on Christmas Day, December 25, 2025 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time in the US.
  • That batch (episodes 5–7) is the “Christmas drop” in the three-part final season schedule:
    • Volume 1: November 26, 2025 (day before US Thanksgiving).
* Volume 2: Christmas Day (US time, 5 PM PT).

* The Finale: New Year’s Eve/Day depending on region.

Does it come out on Christmas Day where you are?

Because Netflix is using a “primetime” global drop (5 PM PT), the calendar date shifts by time zone.

  • North & South America:
    • You get Volume 2 on Christmas Day (Dec 25) , in the evening local time.
  • UK & Western Europe (GMT and similar):
    • It lands in the early hours of December 26 (Boxing Day) , not technically Christmas night anymore.
  • Further east (Asia, Australia, etc.) :
    • Also effectively December 26 local time due to the time difference.

So the short version:

  • If you’re in the Americas, yes, Stranger Things season 5 Volume 2 comes out on Christmas Day for you.
  • If you’re in Europe or further east, it’s a Boxing Day drop , even though it’s branded as a Christmas release in US time.
