The streamer has revealed, as reported by Variety, that it achieved its highest Christmas Day viewership of all time in 2025, with Stranger Things being the most-watched title of the day, as three new episodes were released. The three in question, which made up volume 2, were released on Boxing Day in the UK due to the time difference.
The 34.5 million views figure is worked out by Netflix dividing the total number of viewing hours by the runtime of all seven available episodes, meaning it is difficult to quantify exactly how many views episodes 5-7 got on their own.
Naturally, heading into the finale, many fans are worried that their favourite characters may not make it out alive.
However, the show's creators, the Duffer Brothers, have suggested that they shouldn't be too alarmed, as the sci-fi series is "not Game of Thrones".
"I think some things happen in the finale that are very surprising, but we’re not trying to shock or upset anyone. I hope by the time people get to the end of the finale that it just feels like there’s something inevitable about what happens, and that it doesn’t feel painful but feels satisfying."
