How and where can I stream classic Christmas movies?
While you're busy prepping in the kitchen, your guests won't be able to resist plopping down in front of the TV. You can even create a list for them! Teach your family about the amazing movies you grew up watching and learn about a few new ones this year. It's time to snuggle up and let the streaming marathon begin.
Disney+
From "Home Alone" to "The Santa Clause," you have sequels to enjoy while getting hooked on watching the journey of the iconic characters. If you're into jump scares and spooky movies, the "Nightmare Before Christmas" is also available (just watch when your kids are sleeping if they're not into scary movies). And of course, if your family is into sing-alongs, choose sweet tunes from "Mickey's Christmas Carol" or the Muppets.
Prime Video
Amazon basically has everything you need, so we're not surprised to see their amazing options for Christmas movies. You're sure to find a few unique movies your family might not have heard of yet like, "Jack Frost," "Eight Crazy Nights," "Prancer," and "A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas." They're sure to become new favorites if you finished watching the classic Christmas movies early.
Hulu
Hulu is full of unique Christmas movies and refreshing angles for your family dynamic. You can find a few of your favorites like "Jingle All the Way," "The Holiday, and "A Christmas Carol." There are so many Scrooges to choose from, but nothing beats the original. You can also teach your kids about the Brady Bunch and pull out the photo album. Hulu has "A Very Brady Christmas," available for all your nostalgic feels.
HBO Max
Now here is where you can roll up your sleeves and watch until your kids are ready to set cookies out for Santa. HBO has everything from "The Polar Express" to "Elf", and even has "How the Grinch Stole Christmas." You'll be brought back to your childhood instantly!
If your family is full of...interesting personalities, "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation," will feel like a glimpse of home! This is a great movie to laugh the night away if you finished watching an emotional movie like, "Love Actually" or "Miracle on 34th Street."
Peacock
Peacock is also producing new content like Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards film, "Christmas Queen" and funny baking shows. If your friends debate on what qualifies as a Christmas movie, you can find a couple of films for everyone. Prepare to watch an action movie like "Die Hard" or a new thriller, "Black Christmas."
Netflix
It's pretty hard to resist any Christmas-themed baking marathon, but thankfully, Netflix allows you to take a break and watch new and old movies. Jingle Jangle is an instant hit! You won't be able to get these songs out of your head, thanks to John Legend's, Philip Lawrence, and Davy Nathan's joyous musical. It's sure to become a new staple in your home. You can also choose romantic comedies like "The Princess Switch", "The Knight Before Christmas", "Christmas With a Prince", and so much more.
But what's Christmas without Bing Crosby waltzing across your screen in "White Christmas"? If you can answer the question, "Are you still watching?" we suggest watching the documentary, "Dance Dreams: Hot Chocolate Nutcracker."
