As a child of the ’90s, I can’t help but feel nostalgic when I see Home Alone taking the top spot on Disney+’s Top 10 chart. Growing up, this movie was an integral part of my Christmas celebrations, and it’s heartwarming to see it still holding its ground decades later.
As a dedicated fan, it’s a joyous occasion to share that “Home Alone” has taken the top spot on Disney+’s U.S. chart, making it the go-to holiday viewing for all you “ya filthy animal” fans out there! The timeless Christmas classic managed to outshine not only the premiere of Jude Law’s “Star Wars: Skeleton Crew,” but also surpassed the original “Moana.” The upcoming “Star Wars” series, reminiscent of “The Goonies,” came in third, while all the buzz surrounding “Moana 2” undoubtedly helped Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s first appearance as Maui secure the No. 2 spot on the Top 10.
Several more holiday favorites made it to the Top 10 list as well, such as at No. 4, “The Polar Express“, at No. 5, “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York“, at No. 6, “Mickey and the Many More Christmases“, and at No. 8, “The Santa Clause 2“. Interestingly, the action-packed movie Deadpool & Wolverine claimed the No. 7 spot on the list. Notably, both versions of “The Lion King“, from 1994 and its 2019 CGI remake, concluded the Top 10.
If you’re among those who cherish the “magical season,” but find “Home Alone” less appealing, Disney+ has an abundance of Christmas-themed content for your enjoyment. This collection includes timeless favorites such as “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” “Fred Claus,” “Christmas with the Kranks,” “Jingle All the Way,” and the George C. Scott-led “A Christmas Carol.” For those who can’t get enough of Kevin McCallister’s family-friendly escapades, all six films from the series are now available for streaming on Disney+.
Watch Christmas Favorites to the Max
Some of the best Christmas movies of all time can be found on Disney+, but HBO has also loaded up Max with some of the most beloved holiday flicks ever made. The must-see titles streaming at the time of this writing include A Christmas Story, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Elf, the Reginald Owen-led A Christmas Carol (1938), The Shop Around the Corner, Meet Me in St. Louis, and even Gremlins.
If you can’t imagine spending the holidays without watching Jimmy Stewart in the timeless Christmas film A Wonderful Life, you’re in luck! You can stream it for free on Xumo Play, Plex, and The Roku Channel. Meanwhile, another holiday must-watch, the 1947 version of Miracle on 34th Street, is also available at a low cost, as director George Seaton’s movie can now be streamed for free on Pluto TV. For those with subscriptions to Peacock, Disney+, AMC+, and Paramount+, you can catch Santa Claus’ (Edmund Gwenn) trial unfolding in these streaming services as well.
You simply can’t imagine Christmas without Bill Murray adding his touch to “A Christmas Carol”. Luckily, you can now stream the 1988 adaptation of Charles Dickens’ timeless tale for free on Pluto TV. Additionally, Boris Karloff and Jim Carrey’s versions of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” are accessible through Hulu premium, and “Love Actually” is available to watch for Amazon Prime Video subscribers.
You shouldn’t skip Bing Crosby’s “A White Christmas” (AMC+) or “Holiday Inn” (Prime Video subscribers). If you believe that “Die Hard” is a Christmas film, then you’re in luck because the Bruce Willis action movie is available for free streaming on Tubi, Pluto TV, and The Roku Channel. Lastly, don’t forget to catch the animated “A Charlie Brown Christmas” on Apple TV+.
