Step into Christmas with me. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The holidays are a great time to put some time away to spend some quality time flicking through the best streaming services for a good movie, especially a good Christmas flick. In October, I put myself to the test to watch a horror movie each day of the month, so when it came to Christmas I thought why not test myself again by doing my own Christmas movie advent calendar.

For the first 12 days of December, I dedicated a few hours each evening to watch a Christmas movie including new ones I had yet to watch and ones to revisit, of course. While my little experiment was much less intense than my last one, the most difficult part was trying to narrow all of my options down to just 12. It's surprising how much Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney Plus has to offer.

If you've found yourself in the same boat and are stuck for festive titles to get through for the remainder of the countdown to Christmas, I've done the hard part for you. These are the 12 movies I've checked off my Christmas 2024 watchlist – each pairing perfectly with a glass of mulled wine.

Director: Jerry Ciccoritti. Running time: 92 minutes. Where to stream: Netflix (US, UK, and AU). I started my December with a brand new release from Netflix for two reasons; I wanted to watch a Christmas movie I hadn't yet seen, and I wanted it to be a Netflix original because, after all, Netflix Christmas movie category is the new Hallmark.
