I love Christmas. Yes, even though I’m Jewish, I can still enjoy the entire holiday season. The gorgeous (and sometimes ridiculous) lights. The giving spirit. The food. Yep, it’s all good.
One thing I was always into since I was a kid, though, were all the amazing Christmas Specials on TV. Yes, there were a few (very few) Hanukkah-related ones, but I remember sitting on the couch in my jammies with my sister watching tales of Rudolph and Frosty. And of course, it wouldn’t be the holidays without Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang singing some Christmas tunes.
Well, even though another Christmas has come and gone, it’s still that magical time of year. And thanks to Netflix, you can keep the holidays going well into the New Year!
Here’s a quick rundown of 12 Holiday Favorites currently available on Netflix!
- Bill Murray brings back the classic Christmas Specials with A Very Murray Christmas.
- DreamWorks kicks the holidays into high gear with Kung Fu Panda Holiday.
- Even though it’s heavily Halloween-themed, The Nightmare Before Christmas gets to the heart of what Christmas is all about.
- It’s tough to beat the 1938 classic A Christmas Carol. Bah Humbug indeed!
- Ernest Saves Christmas may sound unbelievably stupid, but it’s actually one of the best Ernest movies they made. (Wait, that didn’t come out right.)
- If you think your family gatherings at Christmas are a bit… well, dysfunctional, then you’ll definitely love The Ref, starring Denis Leary.
- The biggest kid on the planet spreads some holiday cheer with Pee Wee’s Playhouse: Christmas Special.
- Beethoven’s Christmas Adventure proves that even big dogs need some Santa love.
- If you like some angry drunken buffoonery with your Christmas, then Bad Santa should definitely be on your list.
- Skip the work and just turn on the Fireplace for Your Home to enjoy a virtual crackling fire and some merry Christmas tunes.
- Good Luck Charlie: It’s Christmas keeps the TV sitcom Christmas special spirit alive!
- Music meets mice with the musically Angelina Ballerina: The Nutcracker Sweet.

I love Smokey Mountain Christmas with Dolly Parton, but any Christmas movie is good by me.
I love Nightmare Before Christmas! But I had no idea Netflix had a yule log video! That’s pretty cool! 🙂
I like “It’s a Wonderful Life”. But aren’t there any Hannukah shows? What are we, chopped liver?
My husband and I love to watch The Ref every Christmas. Denis Leary is Awesome!
I’m like you, I love the classics. Rudolph, Frosty and films such as White Christmas and Christmas in Connecticut. Netflix was great this year, I was surprised and pleased to see The Nightmare Before Christmas. Christmas Vacation is another favorite, we can all relate to Clark’s meltdown!
I love to watch ‘Love Actually’ on Christmas, and I WAS watching it and right in the middle it stopped and when i loaded it it said ‘no longer available’. Right on Christmas Eve! I almost wept. If you are on the stream team you can tell them about it!
netflix has been very surprising with their programming
I love The Christmas Story!!! but I also love Home Alone and The Grinch Stole Christmas. Wow!! there are so many Christmas stories that I love!
I like to watch White Christmas mostly because I like the music.
