40 Best Disney Christmas Movies That Will Raise Your Festive Spirits
We want to watch all of them!
Christmas brings on a feeling that's so wholesome, it's hard to explain! That's why so many of us love to watch Christmas movies, because they capture the essence of the holiday in so many beautiful ways. We're currently in the pinnacle of all things festive, so you can bet that we're resorting to the magical company that does Christmas best: Disney! Whether you're looking for funny Christmas movies, romantic Christmas movies, or, of course, some family Christmas movies, Disney+ has it all!
While some of the movies on the list ahead are animated Christmas movies that your kids will love, you can also start with a classic Christmas film that you might remember from your own childhood days. If you're looking for a good place to start, we would probably tell you to watch the original Miracle on 34th Street for a healthy dose of nostalgia! Then, we may suggest reveling in the joy that is the Santa Clause trilogy. (No one does Santa better than Tim Allen!) If you're looking for something slightly newer or more modern, go ahead and watch Godmothered or Noelle, both of which will keep you laughing for hours. You can even break out your family's matching Christmas pajamas to amp up the holiday movie experience.

Dashing Through the Snow
No one doubts that Eddie Garrick is a good father—he's one of the best! The only real qualm with him is that he doesn't really do Christmas. (To be fair, there have been a few times where he was down on his luck.) Things begin to change when a rather interesting individual named Nick appears in his life.
The Naughty Nine
Sometimes, the most brilliant minds come from those you'd least expect! Andy, a defiant fifth grader, would agree—because he somehow managed to form a group made up of other disobedient kids his age with one mission: Go to Santa's Village to cause destruction.
Christmas...Again?!
Rowena doesn't take celebrating Christmas lightly. She wants it to be big every year! When one year sees the holiday a little boring, she somehow gets a second chance to make it better.

Mickey Saves Christmas
Uh oh! It appears that Santa had a mishap with his sleigh. Luckily, Mickey and his crew were near by, because now they've been assigned with the task of helping Santa finish up his holiday escapade.

The Christmas Consultant

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special
Marvel can be festive, too! The peculiar looking heroes from Guardians of the Galaxy are more Christmas-y and cheerful than you can imagine, while still including the action scenes that fans enjoy.
Ernest Saves Christmas

Macy's new Santa Claus just might be the real deal. Now, if only he can convince a skeptical young girl...and a court of law.
