The holidays are here—time for cozy blankets, warm drinks, and hours of uninterrupted streaming. If you’re anything like me, nothing feels more festive than binge great movies that brings a mix of nostalgia, joy, and a touch of drama. Here’s a list of my go-to picks this season—perfect for curling up with family, friends, or even solo.
1."Home Alone" (Disney+)

Let’s kick off with a classic. Home Alone is like the ultimate holiday movie —it never gets old. Watching Kevin outsmart those burglars while managing to decorate his house better than most adults? Priceless. Whether you’re revisiting it or introducing it to someone for the first time, it’s the perfect mix of laughs and warm fuzzies.
Personal Tip: Watch this one with a big bowl of popcorn (and maybe some pizza to match Kevin’s iconic order).
2."The Holiday" (Netflix)

If rom-coms are your thing, "The Holiday" is a must. It’s about two women swapping homes for Christmas—cue the romantic entanglements, snowy English cottages, and dreamy LA vibes. Plus, the chemistry between the cast (Jack Black, Kate Winslet, Cameron Diaz, and Jude Law) is top-tier.
Why I Love It: It’s not just a romance; it’s a gentle reminder to step out of your comfort zone and embrace change. Also, can we talk about that adorable cottage?
3."Spirited" (Apple TV+)
This one’s a newer gem. Starring Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell, Spirited is a fresh take on the classic "A Christmas Carol" . It’s funny, and packed with catchy songs that’ll have you humming for days.
Pro Tip: If you’re not usually into musicals, give this a chance. The humor balances out the singing perfectly👌.
4."The Queen’s Gambit" (Netflix)

Okay, this isn’t a traditional holiday pick, but hear me out. The slow burn of The Queen’s Gambit pairs beautifully with quiet December nights. It’s visually stunning, emotionally rich, and the chess scenes? Surprisingly gripping.
When to Watch: Perfect for those “I need a break from Christmas movies” moments.
5."A Charlie Brown Christmas" (Apple TV+)

Sometimes, you just need something simple and sweet. A Charlie Brown Christmas is a short and heartfelt special that hits all the right notes. Its message about finding the true meaning of the holidays feels especially relevant in today’s hustle culture.
Fun Fact: Did you know the iconic music from this special is now considered a Christmas classic?
6."Die Hard" (Hulu)

Yes, it’s a Christmas movie. Don’t fight me on this. If you’re in the mood for action with a side of holiday spirit, Bruce Willis battling it out in Nakatomi Plaza is a must-watch.
Perfect For: Anyone tired of saccharine holiday specials. Also, nothing beats yelling “Yippee-ki-yay” along with John McClane🤣.
7."The Office" Holiday Episodes (Peacock)

You don’t have to binge the whole series to enjoy The Office. Just cherry-pick the holiday episodes for a guaranteed laugh. From Michael’s chaotic gift exchanges to Jim and Pam’s sweet moments, these episodes never fail to entertain.
My Best Episode: “Christmas Party” from Season 2—it’s awkward, hilarious, and oddly heartwarming😂.
Final Thoughts
So this is it guys, my top movies for the holiday season😊. The beauty of holiday streaming is that there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re into classics, romances, or unexpected gems, you are covered. And let’s be real—sometimes, the best part of the holidays is unwinding with a good movie or show.
Happy Christmas🤶🎉!! Happy New Year in Advance😊💫!!!
