The month of December is a privileged time of year for cinema lovers, with school vacations, the festive season and winter temperatures tempting people to take refuge in a darkened theater. In the Paris region and elsewhere, December 2025 will see a wide range of films, including blockbusters, comedies, dramas and animated features for the whole family.
December is a good time to go to the movies, whether as a couple, with family or friends. As temperatures drop and the days get shorter, the urge to warm up with a good film is on everyone's lips. Cinema opening times are often extended during this period to accommodate a larger audience, especially around Christmas and New Year.
Finding films to see near you is child's play, thanks to the online platforms and mobile applications of cinema networks. Whether you live in Paris, the suburbs or elsewhere in the Île-de-France region, it's easy to access up-to-date cinema programs, with screenings available by arrondissement or commune.
The December 2025 cinema releases are aimed at all audiences: thrill-seekers, love-story enthusiasts, those curious about historical tales and children in search of magic and adventure. The diversity of genres and formats means there's something for everyone.
As the year draws to a close, films at the cinema are a great way to share a convivial, cultural moment in a comfortable, immersive environment.
