Disney
The holiday season always brings a long list of things to do: There are Christmas gifts to buy, cookies to bake, a tree to decorate, holiday menus to plan, parties to attend —the list of Christmas activities goes on and on! But with so much to do, sometimes you need a break. And what better way to relax than with a Christmas movie the whole family can enjoy? There's certainly no shortage of options, from Hallmark Christmas movies to Christmas classics the kids want to watch every year. But of course, no one does Christmas like Disney, and that's where this list of the best Disney Christmas movies comes in handy.
Kids and adults alike love Disney, making a Disney movie the perfect choice for a family movie night around the holidays. From animated classics like Mickey's Once Upon A Christmas to live action comedies like Home Alone and The Santa Clause, there's something streaming on Disney+ for everyone. The adults will love introducing Christmas movie classics like Miracle on 34th Street to the kids, while the kids will go crazy singing along with Anna and Elsa in Olaf's Frozen Adventure.
Most of the movies on this list are available to watch now on Disney+, but even if you don't have a subscription, some of these picks are also available on Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV. So break out the family Christmas pajamas, put out some hot cocoa (or holiday cocktails for the grown-ups!), and settle in with one of these beloved Disney Christmas films.
