Nothing makes the holiday season merrier and merrier than sitting down and watching a Christmas movie. Whether you’re someone who firmly believes Die Hard is actually a Christmas movie, a staunch Elf re-watcher, or a classic movie lover, there’s something here to put a festive smile on your face. From Christmas movies on Netflix to holiday movies you can stream now on Disney+, there’s plenty to enjoy this December.
The list includes holiday classics like ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ and ‘Meet Me in St. Louis’, some adaptations of ‘A Christmas Carol’ reimagining Scrooge’s story, and of course plenty of holiday comedy. Christmas romances that made the list include the always controversial Love Actually, the well-loved Stan The Best Man Holiday and the underrated Christmas classic While You Were Sleeping by Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman. Whether you need something to play in the background while you bake Christmas cookies, a movie to watch with the family on Christmas Eve, or something to play with when your best friend comes over for a festive night, there are endless ideas for what to see on this list.
Ahead, these are some of the best and most popular Christmas movies of all time.
