New Hulu movies arrive in three places before December: the Hulu app, hulu.com, and the "Hulu on Disney+" hub inside the Disney+ app. All three draw from the same November lineup, so where you watch is mostly a question of which app you already have open — with one catalog gap worth knowing about. The remaining November slate is short and front-loaded toward the holidays. *Paddington in Peru* landed on November 15, a six-title holiday batch arrived November 20, and *The First Omen* closes the month on November 30.

What Hulu adds before December 1
The first major new film after mid-month was *Paddington in Peru* (2025), which Hulu added on November 15 in both English and Spanish-language versions, according to Hulu's November press schedule. The largest remaining batch landed November 20, and it is almost entirely holiday catalog. TV Guide's November Hulu list names *The Polar Express* (2004), *National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation* (1989), *A Christmas Story* (1983), *Four Christmases* (2008), *Jack Frost* and *Fred Claus*.
These are library titles rather than premieres — familiar films rotating back in for the season. The month ends with three more. *Couture* (2025) and *Toys and Colors Elf Academy* arrive November 27, and *The First Omen* (2024) follows on November 30, making it the last new movie on Hulu before December begins, per TheWrap's November rundown.
The Disney+ hub, and what it does not carry
Disney says eligible Hulu subscribers can stream Hulu content inside the Disney+ app at no extra charge and with no plan change. That makes the Disney+ hub a genuine third front door, not a separate purchase. The catch is coverage.
Disney's own explainer on watching Hulu on Disney+ states that the hub carries only part of the Hulu catalog — not every Hulu Original, next-day network episode, live channel, premium add-on or rental appears there. Practically, that means a November title can be live on hulu.com and absent from the hub on the same evening. If a film you expect is missing from Disney+, check the Hulu app before concluding the release slipped.
Does the Hulu app disappear before December?
No. A Disney spokesperson told Variety on May 19, 2026 that there are no current plans to sunset the Hulu app, even as the merged single-app experience moves forward.
The timing matters for anyone building a November watchlist. Then-CEO Bob Iger said on the February 2026 earnings call that the unified Disney+/Hulu app would arrive by the end of the calendar year. What changes at that point is the interface, not the lineup — the films listed above do not move or vanish because the apps combine.
What it costs right now
Pricing shifted in September 2026, so the figures in older guides are low. Current rates: The bundle runs roughly 50 cents more than Hulu alone at either tier. If you want the Disney+ hub as a viewing option rather than a fallback, that is the gap you are paying to close — a small one, though the hub's partial catalog means it still is not a full substitute for the Hulu app.
- Hulu (With Ads): $12.49/month
- Hulu Premium (No Ads): $21.49/month
- Disney+/Hulu bundle with ads: $12.99/month
- Disney+/Hulu bundle ad-free: $21.99/month
Two November dates that are not Hulu releases
Monthly roundups are assembled weeks ahead, and two widely circulated November entries do not belong on a Hulu watchlist. Because lists like these are compiled early and dates do move, the reliable check before December is Hulu's own press schedule or the "Coming Soon" row inside the app — both update when a date changes, which a secondary roundup published two weeks earlier cannot.
- Mickey 17* turns up with a November 23 date in Hulu's own consumer guide, but the film's streaming debut was on HBO Max on May 23, 2025, per Warner Bros. Discovery's release announcement. *Runner*, listed for November 27, is an Angel Studios title that opened theatrically on September 11, 2026.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the November holiday titles stay on Hulu through December?
Hulu's press schedule lists additions by date, not removal dates. Check the title's page in the app for an expiration notice before planning a late watch.
Do I need both apps?
No. The Hulu app and hulu.com carry the full catalog. Disney+ is a convenience option for subscribers who already use it.
