2022 has almost come to an end and that means we have one last month of Disney+ content to enjoy before the new year arrives. It's been an uneven year, with some months bringing lots of new content, and other months seemingly scraping the bottom of the barrel. The quality of original shows has been good, but the volume of missing Disney library content is still extensive. But on balance, a Disney+ subscription is something worth having.
Star Wars and Marvel have done their part this year, so as far as Disney+ original series go, the year will wrap up with the the sequel series to the Lucasfilm classic Willow and a new sequel series to the popular National Treasure. And of course, with it being Christmas we'll see some new holiday content including a musical special from Pentatonix, and (to be found in the extras section) a version of Muppet Christmas Carol that includes the famously cut song. Here's everything else set to arrive in December.
