Your Guide to Christmas Movies on Hulu

You won’t find many Christmas classics here, just some good background noise and the occasional scare.

Unfortunately, Hulu doesn’t offer a lot in the way of classic Christmas movies. If you have Hulu + Live TV, you get access to It’s a Wonderful Life, A Christmas Story, Elf, The Polar Express, and 2018’s The Grinch. But for the rest of us with on-demand Hulu, the options get considerably smaller.

However, Hulu does have quite a few Christmas romance movies, if those are your thing. There are also some holiday horror films, as well as festive background-noise specials to occupy your TV while you open presents.

Looking for more holiday romance?

Your best bets for those cozy holiday movies are Hallmark and Lifetime. Check out our holiday movie guide for more information on this year’s new romance films.

Christmas romances on Hulu

Hulu offers a ton of Christmas–themed romances in its holiday section. Mostly, they’re the type of made-for-TV movies you’d also find on Hallmark, Lifetime, or Freeform, but Hulu also owns Happiest Season, which would have gotten a full theatrical release if not for the pandemic.
