Best Disney+ Christmas Movies for Kids

One thing that I love about the Christmas season is that it gives me a reason to watch some of my favorite movies! Home Alone, Elf, and The Santa Clause were staples in my home while growing up. What are your favorite holiday movies?

Regardless of whether or not you have a Disney+ subscription, this list of Disney Christmas movies can help you enjoy spending time with your kids or family through classic holiday entertainment.

Live Action

Does your family have any traditions related to holiday movies? Every year on Christmas Eve my family goes ice skating, gets dinner at a fun restaurant, and then comes home to watch “The Muppet Christmas Carol”. That movie and many other live action Christmas movies can be found on Disney+!

Elf
The Muppet Christmas Carol
The Santa Clause
The Santa Clause 2
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause
Babes in Toyland
Home Alone
Home Alone 2: Lost In New York
Miracle on 34th Street
While You Were Sleeping
Good Luck Charlie, It’s Christmas!
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

Animated

Want to feel like a kid again? Watch an animated movie! Something about the different animation designs and colors takes me back to when I was younger and almost makes me feel more creative. It seems like there aren’t quite as many animated Christmas movies on Disney+, but there are good ones nonetheless.

The Polar Express
A Christmas Carol
Frozen
Frozen 2
Olaf’s Frozen Adventure
Prep & Landing
Mickey’s Christmas Carol
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas
Mickey’s Twice Upon a Christmas
The Lego Star Wars Holiday Special
The Small One

Honorable Mentions

All honesty, I haven’t seen all of these myself. Some I’ve heard about through other people and others are recommendations from the internet. My thought is that if you’re looking to branch out from the same 3 movies you watch every Christmas, maybe try one of these!

Home Alone 3
Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House
Home Alone: The Holiday Heist
Home Sweet Home Alone
Ernest Saves Christmas
A Very Merry Pooh Year
Ice Princess
Noelle
Godmothered
Santa Buddies
The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas
