Disney+’s Best Christmas Movies

There’s a reason Disney+ is one of the most popular streaming services, alongside Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon.

And, especially at this time of year, Disney+ is even better, with some of the best Christmas movies for kids to watch. There’s something for everyone, from traditional Disney Christmas, flicks to animated Disney Christmas films.

9. Home Alone – Disney Christmas Films

Home Alone is the pinnacle of Christmas, as it tells the storey of Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), a little boy who is unintentionally left behind while his family goes on vacation for the holidays.
The clumsy villains, two burglars termed the Wet Bandits, played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern, who end up in a deadly battle with Kevin, are the characters I recall most vividly from this picture.

10: Lost in New York (Home Alone 2)

After you’ve seen the original, why not see the sequel to Home Alone? The sequel, Lost in New York, in which Kevin (Culkin) is separated from his family at the airport and ends up on a plane destined for New York City, is possibly even better than the first.

11. The Muppet Christmas Carol

Not only is this the best adaptation of A Christmas Carol ever filmed, but it’s also one of the best Christmas films ever made. Even if you’ve seen Michael Caine’s Ebenezer Scrooge, the addition of Kermit, Gonzo, and Miss Piggy instantly elevates the story.

On HBO Max, the Best Christmas Movies

While other providers offer more Christmas bang for your buck, HBO Max still has a few notable flicks accessible.
It’s also worth noting that HBO’s collection is more adult-oriented than the other providers’, but there are some fantastic options for kids.

13: HBO’s Elf: Christmas Movies to the Max

Will Ferrell plays Max Buddy, a human raised by elves in the North Pole who goes all the way to New York for Christmas to find his biological father. I defy you to find someone who hasn’t seen at least a few minutes of this picture, which, despite its 2003 release, feels like it’s been around for a very long time.

14. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

Easily the most memorable of the Vacation films, this is mostly a story of a family’s misfortunes — but set over the Christmas season! Chevy Chase plays the sad patriarch who is determined to have a good holiday despite the presence of his wife’s eccentric relative, his dismal work, and broken string lights.

15: THE POLAR EXPRESS – HBO MAX CHRISTMAS MOVIES WATCH NATIONAL LAMPOON’S CHRISTMAS VACATION

The visual design of this picture is now quite ancient due to advances in computer animation, but it was a huge deal at the time of its release as Tom Hanks, who plays the train conductor, did the motion capture for his character.
The film itself is still rather charming, featuring a little boy’s Christmas Eve train ride to the North Pole.

Because it is set over the holidays and is about family, love, and unity, Shazam, a film about a 14-year-old foster kid who has the capacity to transform into a superhero, is easily understood as a Christmas film. It’s also about battling a ruthless scientist, but the mushy stuff comes first.
