The support article If you don't recognize a charge - Apple Support explains how you can check your iTunes and App Stores purchase history, cancel subscriptions, and track possible sources of unrecognized Apple charges you may see on a bill. These may be purchases by family members if you are an organizer of a Family Sharing group, or possibly a second Apple ID you use. The article also provides a specific link for contacting Apple if you cannot trace the source of charges. If you use Apple Card you may find this document helpful too ➞ If you see an Apple Services charge you don't recognize on your Apple Card - Apple Support
Also note this service: View your App Store and iTunes Store purchases directly from your financial institution - Apple Support
"When you sign in to your financial institution website or mobile app and view your recent purchases from the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Books, or for Apple Music or iCloud services, you may see an option—such as View Receipt—that allows you to view more details about your transaction."
Other possibilities to consider (not all may apply in your situation):
● Purchases can be made with your ID if your Apple ID is compromised (read what to do ➞ If you think your Apple ID has been compromised - Apple Support ) or somebody else has access to your device (require a purchase password as explained in this article ➞ Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support ).
● If you only see a charge in emails or texts that are not official Apple receipts, it is likely phishing attempts (see the article: Recognize and avoid phishing messages, phony support calls, and other scams - Apple Support ).
● If you are absolutely certain neither you, nor Apple, nor a Family Sharing member can account for a charge and it ONLY appears on a bill for a charge card you alone control, you may have been the victim of card fraud. Contact your financial institution.
● Small amounts of ~$1 may be an authorization hold that will be refunded (pending charge ➞ How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support ).
● Unanticipated amounts may be grouped charges ( How apps, content, and subscriptions from Apple are billed - Apple Support ).
If a purchase is listed in your purchase history and you want to ask for a refund, read this article about how to request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple ➞ Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support
If a Family Sharing member made the purchase then you need to discuss this with that person. They would have to initiate any refund request.
If a reporting a problem request is unsuccessful or you have another issue you can also speak with Apple ➞ Choose your country or region - Official Apple Support
Select your country (if you do not see your country, also look for "other" regions; e.g., "Other Africa"), then "Choose a product". Click the "show" item under each category for more selections. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

Do the charges on your credit card statement show that Apple ID?
I have not seen my Apple ID on my credit card statements for purchases, that is why I ask. You did the right thing by cancelling your card and should also be able to get a refund from the bank for those charges. The bank will investigate the charges if it is worth it for them to recoup the money.
Do you have any idea how anyone else could have got your Credit Card number?
Do you have the card in the Wallet app to pay for purchases? Just curious, even though it is unlikely to have come from an Apple Pay purchase as your credit card number is not even transferred to the merchant when using Apple Pay.
Have you used it for online purchases?
Do you use it in the card terminals that may have had a skimmer on it to collect the card number?
Can you pinpoint it to another purchase around Dec 8th when the charges started?
Where are you seeing these charges?
It is not unusual to see phishing attempts from a message or email claiming that something has been charged to your account. They want you to click on a link or call a fake support number to give them your Apple ID and Password. Once they have your Apple ID Password they can take over your account. For more information about these phishing messages and how to report them, review this support article.

If you did give out your password using to one of these messages/emails, please report back for additional information to secure your account.
If you do not see the charge on your account , just delete and go on with your day. To view your purchases and subscriptions, you can use this Support Article:
