Disney Plus is the most family-friendly of the streaming services. As such you might expect it to be absolutely jam-packed with Christmas movies.
You know what? It kinda isn't. And the Christmas films and shows it does have end up more diverse than you may expect too.
How about Die Hard? It’s the source of one of the most tedious Christmas arguments — whether it’s a Christmas movie or not — but either way it’s a cracker of a watch. Disney Plus is also the home of the Muppets, a cornerstone of Christmas content.
New for Christmas 2024 there's An Almost Christmas Story, a 25-minute short film from the director of The Green Knight. But this one is definitely more family friendly than that cult dark fantasy classic.
Our current number one reader’s choice vote is also an all-timer. Home Alone can be found in the critics’ choice lists of just about all the top Christmas movie lists we’ve seen. Including our own. The sequels are available on Disney Plus too, but digging into the later instalments like Home Sweet Home Alone (2021) and Home Along: The Holiday Heist (2012) ought to come with a health warning.
We’ve opted for a mix of TV shows and films in our list below, and have brought in all facets of the Disney experience. We have a bit of Marvel, a touch of Star Wars — and no, not the infamous Star Wars Holiday special from 1978. As terrible it is, we’re a little sad it’s not actually available on Disney Plus.
