New 2024 Christmas movies on Netflix, Hulu and more to celebrate the season with

After hitting theaters in mid-November, the action-packed holiday offering Red One has made its debut on the streaming service. Starring Dwayne Johnson and Chris Evans, the PG-13-rated film involves a worldwide mission to save Santa Claus. You can tune in to the movie on Prime Video to see if these two movie stars are up to the task.

Exes on less than happy terms reunite for Christmas after ten years apart in this Netflix movie. Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding play former daters who reunite when their partners – who are siblings – host them at a holiday gathering. Will they be able to keep their story a secret? You’ll have to tune in to find out.

This festive film stars Ben Stiller as a big city dweller whose life takes a turn. He leaves Chicago to temporarily care for his four orphaned nephews on a country farm, and child-driven mayhem ensues. Real-life siblings play the quartet of boys, and Linda Cardellini stars as a social worker.

It’s Taron Egerton vs. Jason Bateman in this Netflix airport thriller with enough holiday energy to land it on this list. The showdown takes place when Bateman’s enigmatic character urges Egerton’s TSA agent to let a bag through security and onto a Christmas Eve flight. If you’re into a different kind of holiday movie, leave room in your suitcase for this one.

A Netflix holiday release that no one saw coming — but it makes perfect sense — Hot Frosty stars Lacey Chabert as a small-town woman who meets a hunk with snowman origins. The comedic outing also features The Office’s Craig Robinson and Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s Joe Lo Truglio – a sheriff and his deputy on the trail of a streaker who may or may not be society’s hottest (and also technically coldest) new arrival.

A Magic Mike-channeling crowd-pleaser, The Merry Gentlemen centers on a big-city dancer out to save her parents’ struggling business. The strategy? An all-man revue led by Chad Michael Murray’s chiseled jack-of-all-trades. All of this must of course be completed before Christmas.

Do you want to spend Christmas with an adorable little owl? This animated short on Disney Plus follows the journey of a young bird named Moon, who ends up alone in Rockefeller Plaza during the holidays and befriends a young girl who is also far from home. The voice cast includes Jim Gaffigan, Mamoudou Athie, Natasha Lyonne and John C. Reilly.

Succession’s Brian Cox, who voices Santa Claus, is one of the highlights of this PG-rated animated film from Love Actually writer-director Richard Curtis. Based on three children’s books by Curtis, who co-wrote That Christmas, the film packs several stories into one holiday package.

Pop group Pentatonix and Christina Milian star in this holiday rom-com that brings festive melodies and chemistry. Milian’s character hunts down tickets to a sold-out Pentatonix concert in New York City, hoping to hook up with a guy she had a sweet encounter with a year earlier. But a decision to hire a concierge introduces an unexpected second love interest.

Paramount Plus’ first original Christmas movie, Dear Santa, features an all-star cast and an envelope-pushing setup: What if a little boy accidentally addressed a letter to Satan instead of the man with the bag? Jack Black stars as the kid’s diabolical new acquaintance, and Keegan-Michael Key and Post Malone star in this unconventional holiday flick that didn’t prove particularly popular with critics.

Gerard Butler’s St. Nick meets Emilia Clarke’s Christmas-hating Queen of Hearts in this animated musical film based on the book of the same name by Carys Bexington. This is a holiday picture that can entertain the kids.

Danny DeVito and Andie MacDowell star in this Hulu offering set in the Dolomites, Italy. In the light-hearted comedy, a family celebrates Christmas at an unusual time of year as a 10-year-old girl tries to prevent her parents from splitting up.

When it comes to new holiday movies, Hallmark has the winter goods. If you don’t have cable, you can use the Peacock to catch the Countdown to Christmas lineup — but you’ll have to stay above the chart. The streamer offers movies live as they air on Hallmark Channel on the East Coast or next-day on-demand. Just note that if you go the on-demand route, the viewing window is limited to three days.
