The Associated Press has comprehensive guides on the best releases of the year on its Year in Review page.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n One of the new offerings this week doubles as a music and television option, just in time for New Year\u2019s Eve, while Netflix gives \u201cStranger Things\u201d its swan song. <\/p>\n \u2014 The new year is nearly upon us. Why not ring it in with a few all-star performances? There is no shortage of New Year\u2019s Eve specials to watch, but give \u201cDick Clark\u2019s New Year\u2019s Rockin\u2019 Eve with Ryan Seacrest,\u201d available to stream online at ABC.com, a whirl.

Netflix<\/a><\/span> is dropping the much-hyped eighth and final episode of Season 5 at 8 p.m. Eastern. Millie Bobby Brown<\/a><\/span>, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Noah Schnapp and other denizens of demon-haunted Hawkins, Indiana, will engage in a final boss battle with the villain Vecna as the show that debuted in 2016 comes to a close. Fans have been anxiously speculating about which, if any, of the stars the creators may kill off<\/a><\/span> in the finale. It\u2019s one of Netflix\u2019s biggest nights ever, and could easily be a record-setter for viewers. The episode is also screening in several hundred movie theaters. <\/p>\n \u2014 AP Entertainment Writer Andrew Dalton<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nNew Year\u2019s Eve entertainment streaming Dec. 31<\/h2>\n
