5 Great Disney Christmas Movies

December 17, 2015 by Becky 33 Comments

 

The 5 best Disney Christmas Movies to watch! Updated December 2020.

I love watching Disney movies any time of year, but during the holidays is when I get to bust out the Disney Christmas movies!  There are some good ones, but I wanted to share some of my absolute favorites. If you’re looking for even more Disney Christmas movies you can find a whole calendar of them available on Disney+!  I highly recommend you watch them if you’re looking for some good Christmas movies this season!

Disney Christmas Movies - Disney in your Day

The Muppet Christmas Carol

This is one of my favorite Christmas stories, and who better to tell it than the Muppets?  (I’m a big Muppet fan).  It’s got some great songs in it, and I love having Gonzo and Rizzo narrating for us. This is my #1.

Beauty and the Beast: the Enchanted Christmas

Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie, so I love that there’s something for Christmas time.  It’s got an awesome voice cast, more great songs, and is actually one of the few animated sequels that isn’t awful.  Plus, Belle’s holiday dress is so pretty.

Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas

This one is actually a collection of holiday shorts featuring Mickey and friends.  There’s one with Donald and his nephews wishing every day could be Christmas, Goofy convincing his son Max that Santa is real, and a re-telling of the Gift of the Magi with Mickey and Minnie.  There’s also a sequel, Mickey’s Twice Once a Christmas, but I don’t enjoy that one nearly as much.

The Santa Clause

This one was really popular when I was a kid, and while it spawned a couple of sequels they will never be as good as the original.  Tim Allen involuntarily becoming Santa?  Hilarious.

Noelle

This is one of the newest Disney Christmas movies, having made its debut on Disney+ last year. It’s so cute! I love Anna Kendrick and she’s got a very “Elf” vibe going on in this film, similar to Will Ferrell in that movie.

    My favourite Christmas movie is a Czech version of Cinderella, that has been shown on Christmas Eve in Norway for 20 years! It’s really old, and horribly dubbed into Norwegian, but it’s such a classic! 🙂

      I was on vacation for the first half of December so I feel so far behind on Christmas stuff! The only Christmas movies I’ve watched were in my hotel room – luckily I’ve gotten to see Elf and Muppets Christmas!

    I love the Muppet version of the Christmas Carol, which surprises me because I am not a huge fan of Muppet inspired works. I love love love the Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas! I actually just watched it this past weekend. I saw it was on Netflix, and was thrilled to find that out!

    The Santa Clause is my absolute favorite though. But that is mainly because I have always had the biggest crush on Tim Allen. 🙂

      Netflix is how I found Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas! Most of the others I have on DVD 🙂 (or VHS!)

    Our toddler LOVES Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas…and Twice Upon a Christmas. And who doesn’t love The Santa Clause?!? It’s one of my very favorites. 🙂

      Aww yeah I think Twice Upon a Christmas is great for kids! Especially if they enjoy Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and all of those. Santa Clause is definitely one of the best Christmas movies!

    From this list, my favorite is Beauty and the Beast. My husband loves The Santa Clause. As for as Christmas movies in general, I have a soft spot for White Christmas, and I love the Polar Express. But if I’m honest, I love all Christmas movies…..except The Christmas Story…..not a fan! lol!
