Hulu subscribers have access to a wide selection of movies, shows, and originals to watch each month, and this holiday season is no different. Here are 16 of the best Christmas movies currently available on Hulu, and an additional 13 bonus mentions for good measure.
Best Christmas Movies On Hulu
This list is ordered alphabetically and not in order of the ones we think you should watch first.
A Christmas Carol | Drama | 2h 52m
This adaptation of A Christmas Carol is actually a mini series. However, as Hulu has the whole thing available as a single video, we’re considering a movie. Either way, this 2019 version of Charles Dickens’ ghost story is worth a watch (or rewatch) this Christmas.
A Sudden Case of Christmas | Comedy/Family | 1h 31m
Available Dec. 13
It might be summer in Italy, but when a daughter asks for one more big family Christmas before her parent’s divorce is finalized, the family do everything they can to make it happen.
Christmas with the Kranks | Family/Comedy | 1h 34m
Luther and Nora decide to skip Christmas and go on a cruise instead. Those plans quickly fall into disarray when their daughter suddenly decides she is coming home for the holidays.
Deck the Halls | Family/Comedy | 1h 33m
Two neighbors embark on a battle to see who’s the real Mr Christmas. With neither neighbor willing to admit defeat, disastrous consequences are in store for both families.
Die Hard | Action/Thriller | 2h 11m
Whether or not you think Die Hard is a Christmas movie, it is hard to argue with how popular the movie is at this time of the year. We’re very firmly in the ‘it is a Christmas movie‘ camp and will be watching it (again) over the holidays.
Elf | Family/Comedy | 1h 30m
Even though Buddy isn’t a real elf, he has spent most of his life growing up as one in the North Pole. Now an adult, Buddy heads to New York City to find out who he is and where he came from.

Visiting one family at Christmas can be difficult enough, but this couple now have to navigate four different Christmases, with four families, on the same day.
Fred Claus | Family/Comedy | 1h 55m
Fred Claus has quite the troubled past and his relationship with his brother, Santa Claus, becomes all the more strained when Fred starts working for the family business.
Happiest Season | Comedy/Romance | 1h 42m

Miracle on 34th Street | Family/Comedy | 1h 54m
It doesn’t get much more traditional than Miracle on 34th Street. This 1994 remake sees Kris Kringle having to prove he is the real Santa Claus in court.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation | Comedy/Family | 1h 37m
After exploring Walley World and Europe, the Griswolds are back on the road again in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. A must-watch at this time of the year.
