The season of 24/7 Christmas movies and carol singing has arrived, and we couldn’t be more excited. There’s nothing better than hot cocoa and Hallmark holiday movies on repeat, but sometimes we want to be in control of our merriment. When that happens, we turn to our favorite platforms for the best Christmas movies streaming right now. And just to be super clear, “best” means just the right mix of high-quality classics and cheesetastic made-for-TV holiday goodness. There’s no room for cinematic snobbery during the most wonderful time of year, which is why A Christmas Prince and It’s a Wonderful Life are equal in our eyes.
Every movie on this list brings us joy, and hey, isn’t that what the holidays are all about?
