Trim the trees and deck the halls, because it’s officially Christmas season. That means it’s Christmas movie season, too, and if you’re looking for something to watch right now, you’ve come to the right place. Of course, there’s plenty of Christmas fare populating the networks at the moment,Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmasis underway, and there’s no shortage of other channels that are stocked up on holiday titles, but if you’re a cord cutter, or hey, maybe you just don’t want to look for the remote right now (no judgement), we’ve put together a list of the best Christmas movies streaming right now.
We took a look at the selection on the major streaming sites and rounded up the best of the lot by provider. Hulu upped the ante on their holiday movie options this year in addition to their usual stockpile of seasonal TV episodes, and as usual, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Shudder (if you’re looking for a little holiday horror) all have plenty in the way of Christmas cheer.
We’ve provided link-throughs to all the movies, so all you have to do is pour yourself a glass of eggnog (brandy optional) and click on any title, and voila, Christmas spirit at your fingertips. Check out the highlights below.
