Break out the mistletoe and bring on the eggnog! December is here and we’re kicking it off with some fresh new looks and features worth checking out.

  • Dressing to impress: Yahoo! TV has gotten an updated look and feel. Whether it’s a preview of the new McDreamy episode or the latest gossip from Survivor’s last castaway, find everything you ever wanted to know about any show on Yahoo! TV — spoilers, user reviews, photos, and more. Read more here.
  • The gift of mobility: Why not box up a mobile Internet experience for your loved ones or yourself this season? The Nokia 6300, 5300 XpressMusic, or 520 phones now directly connect to Yahoo! Mail and Messenger, enabling you to check and send messages, look up your to-do list, and pull up important contact info while stuck at the airport or running errands. More Nokia Series 40 phones with this capability to come.
  • Look ma, no login!: Flickr just introduced a guest pass to help friends and family avoid the rigmarole of having to create a Flickr account just to see your private photos. They've also resuscitated their mobile site and introduced a new “camera finder” feature that lets you see what sort of photos the latest models of SLRs, point-and-shoots and camera phones are taking. Read more here.
  • Be inspi(red): In honor of World AIDS Day, we've created a special site to raise awareness and offer ways to show your support, such as links to “red” products that will donate profits to the cause, a virtual T-shirt for avatars, and video clips about the work of the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. Even our front page is shouting its support with a cool red ribbon that weaves through our logo and ends up wrapped around the globe.
  • Blimey, squidgy, cheerio?: Finding out the latest on foreign affairs and worldly issues just became a quick find — with a British accent, I might add. Yahoo! News now showcases a variety of up-to-the-minute BBC video clips with breakings news and top stories on business, politics, technology, health and entertainment.

Here at Yahoo! TV, dissecting the latest shows consumes much of our day. It’s our passion, and we know we're not alone. Last night's episode of "Grey's Anatomy" or "Heroes" is the stuff of many a water cooler chat among coworkers across the country. After all, you just know Meredith ...
