Looks like "A Very Murray Christmas" will be quite interesting.

In December, Netflix originals are the big news. First up, "A Very Murray Christmas" starring Bill Murray. He's playing himself and in this movie and he's attempting to put together a holiday television special. The cast is full of stars including George Clooney, Amy Poehler, Jason Schwartzman, Rashida Jones and Chris Rock.

Then there's the new Adam Sandler movie, "Ridiculous 6." The film is a part of a four-picture deal with Netflix and Sandler's Happy Madison Productions. "Ridiculous 6" is a western and has already caused a controversy due to its take on Native Americans.

On the television series front, Netflix has a new animated series from comedian Bill Burr called "F is for Family." If you know anything about Burr, you won't be surprised to find out this animated family show is not family friendly. The trailer is laced with profanity, but looks like it could be funny.

Netflix will be losing its fair share of movies including "Batman Begins," "Dark Crystal," "The Silence of the Lambs" and others. Take a look at the full list below.
