Dec 23, 2015 05:56 PM EST

With the holidays here, a lot of people are looking to spend some relaxing time binge-watching shows, movies, and other video content on Netflix.  The streaming company is pretty much finished with December 2015, and this is a full list of Netflix Titles Arriving and Departing for January 2016.  It is wise to plan what to watch as many shows will be departing as many new titles will arrive during the month of January. 

The list here of arrivals and departures comes from CNET, and it includes a lot of comedy, family, and action selections.
