11 Fun Holiday Movies You Can Stream Right Now

Christmastime wouldn't really be Christmastime without all the awesomely cheesy holiday movies. Thankfully with channels like Freeform and Hallmark, we could watch Christmas movies all day long if we wanted to. But it gets frustrating when they repeat the same movies—not to mention the awful commercials—over and over again. That’s where streaming services come in.

If you’re a subscriber to Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, or any other major streaming network, there are plenty of Christmas gems to be found. Here are 10 of our current favorites. (And for our list of 20 all-time favorite Christmas movies, click here.)

1. It’s a Wonderful Life (1946)

It should be a crime to go a full holiday season without watching James Stewart star in Frank Capra's It's a Wonderful Life.

7. How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
