by

As someone who has spent countless Christmases watching movies that range from heartwarming classics to cheesy Hallmark flicks, I must say that the 2024 holiday season has truly outdone itself. The selection of Christmas films this year is nothing short of extraordinary!

The holiday season is here, and it’s a time for joy and unity! As 2024 draws to a close, the movie world has gifted us some remarkable productions that have been box office successes. Not only that, but they’ve also offered some heartwarming Christmas movies that resonated with viewers, helping to foster a festive atmosphere.

Instead of romantic comedies such as “Hot Frosty,” action movies like “Red One” starring Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson provide an alternative, set amidst a festive backdrop. Below you’ll find a selection of Christmas-themed films that were released in 2024.

Hot Frosty

In the Netflix movie “Hot Frosty,” starring Dustin Milligan and Lacey Chabert, the audience experiences the cozy feelings of the season. This romantic tale centers around Cathy, who gives life to a snowman while still mourning her husband’s death. As love blossoms between Chabert’s character and the snowman, they find themselves in a desperate race against time.

In addition to Milligan and Chabert, the cast includes Craig Robinson, Lauren Holly, and Katie Mixon. You can watch this movie on Netflix streaming.

 

Our Little Secret

A perfect Christmas movie of the year to get into the feels of the festive season. Our Little Secret, starring Lindsay Lohan and Ian Harding, tells the story of two exes who come together under one roof after an awkward situation appears. 

In the movie “Our Little Secret,” Avery, portrayed by Lohan, and Logan, played by Harding, discover that their respective partners are siblings. Consequently, they must put aside their differences and join forces in attending the celebrations together. The film boasts strong performances from Jon Rudnitsky and Kristin Chenoweth, and it can now be streamed on Netflix.

 

Red One

For the holiday season, Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson slip into their action attire for an upcoming movie. In this film, they portray characters named Jack O’Malley (played by Chris Evans) and Callum Drift (portrayed by Dwayne Johnson). Their story begins when Santa Claus is abducted by the E.L.F. from the North Pole, and these two heroes embark on a quest to rescue him.

The unique storyline of the movie keeps its audience hooked to the screens, while the presence of the popular actors works as a cherry on top. The movie is available to stream on Prime Video.

 

An Almost Christmas Story

The animated Christmas movie of the year, An Almost Christmas Story, brings back the innocence of the holiday season.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever

As a dedicated fan, I’d like to highlight that The Best Christmas Pageant Ever certainly falls under the comedy genre and undeniably qualifies as a Christmas movie. This film offers a perfect blend of comfort and laughter, making it an ideal choice for family viewing. Starring the talented Judy Greer, this production beautifully unfolds against the festive season, subtly teaching us about the true essence of holiday celebrations.

In this movie, a group of six kids who aren’t typically seen as refined, decide to run the town’s church play to show everyone the true spirit of the holiday season.

The movie can be streamed on Prime Video. 

 

A Sudden Case Of Christmas

This year’s top choice for a heartwarming family movie is “A Sudden Case of Christmas,” featuring Danny DeVito. The film emphasizes the themes of unity, coziness, and, needless to say, the joyous holiday spirit. In this movie, Claire finds herself in Italy, brought there by her parents to announce their separation, serving as the main narrative focus.

For the holiday season, she kindly asks her folks to postpone their plans and join her for the celebrations, so they can enjoy each other’s company. In this film, Danny DeVito appears alongside Andie MacDowell as co-stars.

A Sudden Case of Christmas is available to stream on Prime Video.

 

Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point

A movie that celebrates the family coming together for the X-mas celebrations. Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point is a heartfelt story with hints of comedy when the family, along with cousins, meet up for what could be their last holiday in their ancestral home. 

Yet, the course of the night undergoes a significant shift as one of the siblings decides to defy authority by slipping away to exhibit her youthful insubordination. The film’s characters are played by Sawyer Speilberg, Michael Cera, and Elsie Fischer.

Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point is available to watch on Prime Video.

 

Meet Me Next Christmas

In a simple and engaging manner, let’s say: Director Rusty Cundieff masterfully creates a festive atmosphere for the Christmas season. The film “Meet Me Next Christmas” was added to Netflix in November, captivating audiences as they dive into it during the holiday period.

In this film, the story centers around Layla’s quest to find her ideal partner. As she wanders the bustling streets of New York City, an unexpected twist occurs when she manages to secure a ticket to a sold-out Christmas concert – a stroke of luck that sets the stage for the rest of the movie.
