All we want to do at the moment is drink hot chocolate, wear PJs, listen to Christmas music, and watch festive films. Obviously. Thankfully, the folks at Amazon Prime Video are 100% behind this, as they’ve filled their streaming platform with a plethora of fun Christmas movies, guaranteed to get you feeling warm and fuzzy in no time.

With that in mind, then, we’ve rounded up just some of our favourites. Merry (early) Christmas and a very happy streaming session.

EXmas

When Graham (Robbie Amell) decides to surprise his family by traveling home for Christmas, he’s shocked to discover them already celebrating with an unexpected guest of honour: his ex-fiancee, Ali (Leighton Meester). The two exes battle it out to see who the family will pick to stay through Christmas Day and who must go.

Little Women (1994)

The adaptation of Louisa May Alcott’s classic Little Women is bordering on festive-feeling but it’s not too Christmassy. Starring Winona Ryder, Kirsten Dunst, Claire Danes and Trini Alvarado as the March sisters, the coming-of-age film follows each of the sisters as they navigate life, love and womanhood.

Candy Cane Lane

Eddie Murphy stars in this holiday comedy adventure about a man on a mission to win his neighbourhood’s annual Christmas home decoration contest. After Chris (Eddie Murphy) inadvertently makes a deal with a sneaky elf named Pepper (Jillian Bell) to better his chances of winning, she casts a magic spell that brings the 12 Days of Christmas to life, and wreaks havoc on the whole town.

Your Christmas Or Mine

Starring Asa Butterfield, Cora Kirk, Alex Jennings, Harriet Walters, Angela Griffin, and more, this Christmas film follows young couple James and Hayley, who (thanks to the mother of all mix ups) wind up having to spend the holidays with each other’s families… sans partners. Will they be able to swap back in time for Christmas Day? And will Hayley and James’ fledgling relationship make it through to the New Year? Either way, you can expect nothing but riotous good fun. And now, there’s a sequel too.

The Holiday

You know the drill by this point: Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz, both nursing broken hearts, agree to swap homes for the holidays to get away from their relationship issues. However, their lives change unexpectedly when they meet and fall in love with two local guys (hey there, Jack Black and Jude ‘Mr Napkin Head’ Law).

So, is The Holiday utterly and unabashedly slushy and romantic? Absolutely. Is it also, though, filled to the brim with covetable knitwear and coats? 100%. Enjoy.

Something From Tiffany’s

Something From Tiffany’s (starring the one and only Zoey Deutch) tells a story of the ultimate gift mix-up when an engagement ring – from Tiffany’s, no less – ends up under the wrong couple’s tree on Christmas day. Cue the romance.

A Christmas Story

It’s an oldie, but a lot of people love this simple story of a little boy’s struggle to make it to Christmas Day with his glasses (and his hopes) intact.

Available to stream now.

The Polar Express

Tom Hanks is everywhere in this festive animated tale, which sees a young boy board a magical train and embark upon an extraordinary journey to the North Pole to meet Santa Claus. 

Available to stream now.

Moonstruck

You can 100% rent Moonstruck this year, and if you haven’t seen this Christmas-adjacent film already, you need to. In it, we learn that Cher’s Loretta is done grieving for her husband and, keen to remarry, has decided to settle with Johnny, a nice, secure, and thoroughly boring man. But when she meets his brother Ronny (a passionate and moody Nicolas Cage) she finds herself in a dilemma. The kind of dilemma that’s going to shock her family in a very big way.

Available to rent and stream now.

Love Actually

It’s a fact universally acknowledged that Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a screening of Love Actually. End of. And, sure, we know it’s not exactly stood the test of time (Andrew Lincoln? Step away from the cards, please), but we still can’t help falling in love with it every time we see it.

Available to stream now.

Deck The Halls

It may only have 6% on Rotten Tomatoes, but plenty of people love this typically cringe film, which sees two neighbours go to war over their outrageous Christmas light displays.

Available to stream now.

Office Christmas Party

Starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman, this incredibly Marmite-esque Christmas film sees an office party spiral wildly out of control. A personal favourite.

Available to stream now.

Last Christmas

Last Christmas is, to quote Stylist’s Hannah-Rose Yee, a “Christmas bon bon infused with the kind of cheery, rip-up-the-rulebook romantic comedy energy we haven’t seen in the genre since the year 2009.”

To say anything more would take us firmly into spoiler territory. All we’ll say is this: while this festive flick may have been panned by some critics, but the chemistry between Emilia Clarke and Henry Golding is undeniable. And Michelle Yeoh? Well, she delivers an utterly sensational performance.

Available to stream now.

Jack Frost

A film about a deadbeat dad returning from the grave as an animated snowman, solely so he can hang out with his son again? Yeah, it’s not for everyone, but this 90s classic is still a top Christmas film for some.

Available to stream now.

Last Holiday

This writer wholeheartedly believes that Queen Latifah is a goddess, so it stands to reason that she’s a fan of this Christmas movie. In it, the aforementioned goddess plays Georgia, who is knocked for six when she learns she only has weeks left to live.

So far, so not festive. It’s what happens when our heroine gathers her money, quits her job, and flies to the swanky ski resort she’s always dreamed of visiting, though, that things get brilliant. And heartwarming. And…

Yeah, please give it a watch. You won’t regret it.

Available to stream now.

Elf

Elf is a festive classic at this point, isn’t it? In it, we see Will Ferrell take on the role of Buddy, an orphaned 40-something who’s been raised by the elves at the North Pole. When he discovers that he is not actually an elf (surprise!), he traverses the seven levels of the candy cane forest, across the sea of swirly-twirly gumdrops, and through the Lincoln Tunnel to New York.

There, in a grey city filled with grouches and grumps, Buddy tracks down his biological father. And, in the process, he transforms the lives of pretty much everyone he meets.

It’s A Wonderful Life

It doesn’t matter how many times you’ve sobbed over this perennial Christmas favourite, trust us: it remains flawless upon every single viewing, and you will be entranced.

Available to stream now.

It’s A Very Merry Muppet Christmas

When the Muppet Theatre is hit by financial hardships, it looks as if they’re going to have to close – until angel Daniel requests Boss to help its owner Kermit the Frog and the gang.

Available to stream now.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas

Jim Carrey was made to play Dr Seuss’ Grinch, as this beloved Christmas movie has proven year after year after year.

You all know the story by now: the Grinch lives in solitude just outside Whoville, he hates the townsfolk and despises Christmas. Big time. When he accidentally rescues Taylor Momsen’s adorable Cindy Lou from a festive mishap, though, the little girl takes it upon herself to teach him the true meaning of the holiday.

Does she do it? You probably know the answer. But trust us when we say you’ll have a lot of fun getting to that iconic “maybe Christmas doesn’t come from a store, maybe Christmas means a little bit more” line.

Available to stream now.

White Christmas

The story on this classic film (all about a quartet who plan a fun-filled musical extravaganza in a bid to save a quaint country inn from closure) might be so-so, but the songs are outstanding. This is, after all, the movie that gave us Bing Cosby’s White Christmas.
