Best Disney+ Christmas Movies for Kids/Teens

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+!

1. Elf
2. The Muppet Christmas Carol
3. The Santa Clause
4. The Santa Clause 2
5. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause

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.
