Christmas is close, so you may be looking for ways to get into the merry mood. In addition to splurging on festive coffee drinks and shopping for worthy gifts, you can greet the holidays by streaming movies and TV shows.
If you’re dashing full speed into the holidays, streaming services have content to go with your enthusiasm. I sifted through the seasonal fare on services like Netflix, Disney Plus and Peacock and saw tons of titles that could please crowds this season. Movies are a major source of Christmas cheer, but you could also find a TV show or special you want to unwrap.

Peacock has at least two big things going for it this jolly season: Hallmark movies and The Grinch. If 2023 Hallmark holiday movies are what you’re after, you can watch them live as they air on the East Coast with NBCUniversal’s streaming service. You can also stream them on demand during a 72-hour period that starts the day after they air.
Then there’s that troublemaking green guy, the Grinch. The 1966 cartoon version and the 2018 movie from Illumination are both grumping around on the streamer.
Peacock highlights:
-
2023 Hallmark holiday movies
-
How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966)
