The year may be coming to an end soon, but that's not to say there aren't plenty more new movies and TV shows premiering in its last few weeks.

Already, the likes of Hallmark, Netflix and Hulu have brought us plenty of new Christmas movies — personally, Netflix's Champagne Problems, My Secret Santa and Prime's Oh. What. Fun. are at the top of my list — and with just a few weeks until Christmas, there are a few left to go.

If home renovation shows are your idea of cozy, this week you'll get to see a new reality show from home renovation gurus Chip and Joanna Gaines, and, calling all Swifties, we will finally get to see the long-awaited behind-the-scenes look into Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, as the "'Tis the Damn Season" singer drops her six-part documentary into her concert tour extravaganza, Taylor Swift — The Eras Tour — The End of an Era.

So, without further ado, here is what you can watch on TV and streaming from Sunday, December 7 to Saturday, December 13.

And finally, I'm ending the week on a high and watching Taylor's new documentary, which will document the behind-the-scenes of her Eras Tour and the people that made it possible. It will be available to stream on Disney+, with the first two of the six episodes dropping on Friday, and with two more episodes at a time each of the two weeks after that.
