The time of year has come when the house is filled with family, cousins, uncles and grandparents gather to eat and dine around a big table with only food, drinks and lots of love. And in the midst of all this chaos, there is time and space to watch a good movie together.
Christmas is an ideal time to watch movies surrounded by those who love us the most. Christmas movies are a tradition as old as eating polvorones. What would Christmas be without Bruce Willis and his Die Hard on TV?
That’s why today we bring you a compilation of the best Christmas movies to watch that Disney+ has in its huge catalog. As you will see, you will have to choose, as watching them all will be impossible… or not.
The best Christmas movies you can watch on Disney+
Christmas Special: Guardians of the Galaxy
This special is a rare bird, but it’s worth seeing the Guardians of the Galaxy more Christmassy and cheerful than you can imagine, without missing their traditional mix of cakes, shots, and action. It’s different and original. Give it a chance.
Nightmare Before Christmas
If you can’t choose between Christmas and Halloween as your favorite holiday, then Nightmare Before Christmas could be the festive movie of your dreams.
In the purest Tim Burton style, this spooky stop-motion classic follows the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, Jack Skellington, who accidentally stumbles upon Christmas Town. Overwhelmed by the Christmas spirit, the skeleton goes ahead with big plans that… well… don’t go as planned.
The Santa Clauses
Tim Allen plays a divorced father who, after accidentally killing Santa Claus, is magically forced to become his successor. While reluctantly learning to be the best Santa Claus possible, he also learns to be a better man.
You can really watch any of the productions in the saga, as they have been making Christmas movies and series with Santa Claus as the protagonist for 20 years.

Animated success takes a refreshing twist on the Disney princess formula, prioritizing themes of sisterhood and purpose over the search for “true love’s kiss”.
