Every month, Pokemon GO trainers worldwide enjoy the weekly benefits of Spotlight Hours every Tuesday from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm local time, and each month brings a new rotation of Pokemon to capture during the defined hours.
As December is here to close out this year's Pokemon GO calendar, four new Pokemon are now available for Spotlight Hours throughout the month. While two are themed well for winter, two others are quite rare by comparison and are definitely worth pursuing if trainers haven't obtained or evolved them yet. Regardless of intent, trainers can find the specified dates and Pokemon below.
