If you're like us, one of your favorite holiday habits is grabbing the fam and plopping down on the sofa to watch a few Disney+ Christmas movies together. Seriously, is there anything better than making a big bowl of popcorn, snuggling under a super soft throw and streaming a classic Christmas movie you loved as a child with your own kids? Or maybe you're looking to find a new Yuletime favorite? No matter what kind of Christmas flick you want to catch—be it something romantic, like the swoony While You Were Sleeping, or an uproarious comedy, such as Arnold Schwarzenegger's silly-but-satisfying Jingle All the Way—you'll find it on Disney+ this month.
And with more than 45 holiday films to choose from, you won't ever have to repeat a selection, even if you want to binge movies all night long (hey, no judging). Best of all, every film is family-friendly, so you can be sure they'll appeal to all ages! You'll find the following list stuffed as full as Santa's sack with everything from animated goodies new and old (LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special, the original Lady and the Tramp) to hysterical live-action romps (all three of the Santa Clause movies).
