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.
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.
