Hulu isn’t totally doubling down on the holiday content this December—it’s got just enough to warm your spirit and remind you that after the 25th, there’s still the real world. The Disney-owned streamer is leaving all holiday delights (The Santa Clauses, for example) to its sister platform, Disney+. There is, however, one holiday comedy on the way, along with a whole array of other content.

Spooky season may have ended quite a few weeks ago, but that’s not stopping Hulu from releasing a new supernatural thriller. Darby of the Dead, releasing Dec. 2, follows a high school girl who moonlights as a spiritual messenger, thanks to a near-death experience as a young child. Shockingly, life’s pretty simple for her, until something wild happens: The high school queen bee dies in a freak hair-straightening accident.

In terms of more seasonally appropriate content, Hulu does have a new Christmas comedy lined up. We all loved Elf and A Christmas Story, and on Dec. 9, we’ll find out if It’s a Wonderful Binge is worth adding to the list. The story will pick up after the events of The Binge, a dystopian comedy in which all alcohol and drugs are illegal, except for one lucky day of the year. In the holiday special, that day happens to be Christmas. Pull out the spiked eggnog.

Finally, not long after Darren Aronofsky’s new drama The Whale hits theaters, his production company will drop a new series on Hulu. All eight episodes of Kindred, based on Octavia E. Butler’s novel of the same name, will premiere on Dec. 13. The show will follow Dana James (Mallori Johnson), a young aspiring writer who must relocate after familial obligations pull her away from her career.
