Christmas movies on Disney+

Today I’m excited to share with you a list of all the great Christmas movies on Disney+!

Now that it’s December, there’s no shortage of Christmas Movies on Disney+. Between fan favorites like The Santa Clause, and new holiday films like the Disney+ original Noelle, there’s a movie for everyone.

Whether you decide to do a binge-watching weekend or you spread it out throughout the month of December with a Christmas countdown, Disney+ has you covered. And so do I! I’ve created this list of Christmas related movies – some that are outright Christmas, and some that remind us of the holidays and snow.

Christmas Movies on Disney+

There are so many great Christmas-themed movies on Disney+ that I’ve decided to break this list into categories. So if you want classics, Mickey & Friends, Disney originals, or something else, there is really something for everyone.

There are a number of great TV shows too. I tried to keep this list mostly focused on movies and shorts. But I do mention a few TV shows or specials that really fit the Christmas vibe!

Note: There are even more options now that Disney owns Hulu. For the most part I’ve left Hulu content off of this list. I wanted to narrow is down to Christmas movies on Disney+. My goal was to focus on movies that Disney made or was involved in distributing. If you’re looking for even more options, check out Hulu!

Christmas Classics

Home Alone
1990, 1 hour and 45 minutes
Another Christmas favorite. You can also find Home Alone 2, Home Alone 3, and other remakes on Disney+.

The Santa Clause
1994, 1 hour and 39 minutes
One of my favorite Christmas movies. Lots of great humor and heartfelt moments with Tim Allen! After you watch the first one you can also watch The Santa Clause 2 and The Santa Clause 3.

The Christmas Star
1986, 1 hour and 34 minutes
Ed Asner plays a con man who escapes jail by wearing a Santa suit – only to be met by children who believe he is the real Santa Claus!

Miracle on 34th Street
1947, 1 hour and 38 minutes
One of the most beloved Christmas classics, you can find this one on Disney+.

Muppet Christmas Carol
1992, 1 hour and 28 minutes
In my opinion, the Muppet version of A Christmas Carol is the best one out there, and it’s the perfect movie to watch on Christmas Eve.

Babes in Toyland
1961, 1 hour and 47 minutes
For a Christmas classic, check out this one from 1961.

Disney Originals

Noelle
2019, 1 hour and 47 minutes
This movie with Anna Kendrick came out when Disney+ premiered. It’s so cute and sweet. She’s basically the female version of Elf!

A Very Jonas Christmas Movie
2025, 1 hour and 20 minutes
New to Disney+ this year (2025). I didn’t realize the Jonas Brothers were still relevant – but here they are! Santa Claus is apparently a big fan. When he hears the brothers are arguing, he puts a curse on them so they don’t break up the band. It sounds like it’s full of light-hearted fun and silliness.

The Naughty Nine
2023, 1 hour and 26 minutes
Looking for a family-friendly Christmas heist movie? 9 kids on the naughty list plan a heist of the North Pole to get the presents they deserve.

For some reason I remember watching this one a lot as a kid. Two girls who live in Los Angeles wish it would snow for Christmas. But when they figure out a way to make it happen, the snowstorm has some unintended consequences they must overcome. 

Dashing Through the Snow
2023, 1 hour and 31 minutes
This one came to Disney+ in 2023. I actually really enjoyed it! The plot sounds a bit wild (a cynical social worker ends up helping Santa escape from some thugs hired by a corrupt politician), but it had both laughs and a good heart.

Twas the Night
2001, 1 hour and 28 minutes
A Disney Channel original movie. I haven’t seen it, but this one feels a little bit like a knock-off of The Santa Clause.

Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas
2011, 1 hour and 23 minutes
A Christmas movie based on the Disney Channel TV series Good Luck Charlie.

Christmas… Again?
2021, 1 hour and 36 minutes

Animated Favorites

It’s not often that a sequel to a great animated film is very good, but Belle’s Christmas story is actually an entertaining movie that’s perfect for the holidays.

2002, 1 hour and 9 minutes
Christmas in the Hundred Acre Woods. Celebrate Christmas with Pooh bear and all his friends.
