All the Christmas TV Shows and Films on Disney+

Christmas is fast approaching and Disney+ has got you covered with endless Christmas TV shows and films to get you in the festive spirit.

Alongside a host of original content this December such as Hawkeye and Disney Holiday Magic Quest, Disney+ is packed full of festive films and series you will not want to miss.

Newsweek has the full list below.

Die Hard

For those who argue Die Hard is a Christmas film, your prayers have been answered.

From Friday, December 3 all five films in the Die Hard franchise will be available to stream via Disney+.

Godmothered

Disney's Christmas comedy from 2020, Godmothered, is still available to stream this Christmas.

Starring Isla Fisher and Jillian Bell, Godmother follows the story of an inexperienced god-mother-in-training who is on a mission to ensure Mackenzie (Isla Fisher), a 40-year-old single woman, gets her happily ever after.

The Muppet Christmas Carol

Kids from the '90s, if you want to relive your youth, Disney+ has you sorted.

The Muppet Christmas Carol—which premiered in 1992—is available for you to watch at your leisure this Christmas.

High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special

It may be a year old and remind you of a stranger time where countries across the world were in lockdown due to COVID-19, but High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special is still available on Disney+ for you to enjoy over the holidays.

Watch as the cast, consisting of award-winning singer Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie and many others perform their favorite Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Years' songs.

The cast also shares their favorite holiday memories, their family traditions and even spill the most embarrassing presents they have received.

Home Alone 1-6

All six films in the Home Alone franchise are available to stream via Disney+ this Christmas.

Home Alone, starring Macaulay Culkin, Joe Pesci, Daniel Stern, John Heard, and Catherine O'Hara, took the world by storm when it premiered in 1990 and every Christmas, continues to be on everybody's Christmas list.

The sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, was also hugely successful when it premiered in 1992.

However, Home Alone 3 and further sequels featured an entirely different cast from the original and a different storyline.

Sequels include Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House which was released in 2002 and The Holiday Heist released in 2012.

The most recent edition, Home Sweet Home, starring Ellie Kemper, Rob Delaney, Archie Yates, Aisling Bea, Kenan Thompson, Timothy Simons, Pete Holmes, Devin Ratray, Ally Maki, and Chris Parnell, was released on November 12.

Devin Ratray, who played Buzz McCallister in the first two films, appeared in the recent edition.

Frozen and Frozen 2

What is Christmas without Disney+'s Frozen and the sound of "Let It Go" on repeat? The 2013 animated film is streaming on Disney+ now, alongside the 2019 sequel, Frozen 2.

Olaf's Frozen Adventure and Olaf Presents

If Frozen was not enough festive fun, Olaf's Frozen Adventure and Olaf Presents are available to watch via Disney+ now.

Olaf's Frozen Adventure sees the beloved Snowman (voiced by Josh Gad) cook up some new and unique Christmas traditions for Elsa (Idina Menzel).

Olaf also has his own miniseries titled Olaf Presents, which sees Olaf re-tell classic Disney films, including The Little Mermaid, Moana, The Lion King, Aladdin, and Tangled.

Once Upon a Snowman is also part of the Frozen catalog on Disney+. The short film follows Olaf the moment he was created by Elsa and his journey to meeting Anna (Kristen Bell), Kristoff (Jonathan Groff), and Sven (Frank Welker).
