100 new Christmas films to watch this season

The holiday movie season is upon us. Cable channels, streaming companies, and on-demand platforms have been cranking out the 2025 holiday movies since late October, with many more to come in November and December.

Hallmark remains the most prolific purveyor of holiday movie cheer, giving us 28 new holiday movies for 2025, as well as four new holiday shows.

Chances are that if you turn on one of the Hallmark channels on any given night, you’ll be treated to some wholesome holiday entertainment. That said, if you miss a specific Hallmark movie on TV, you can stream it through the channel’s streaming service, Hallmark+.

Among the most popular streaming services, Netflix leads the way this year with five new 2025 holiday movies, including one starring “Clueless” icon Alicia Silverstone (“A Merry Little Ex-Mas”).

Even Mark Wahlberg is getting in on the holiday fun. Though you may not immediately know it by looking at the title, “The Family Plan 2” is indeed a holiday movie, with Wahlberg’s former assassin turned family man Dan Morgan heading to London with his wife (Michelle Monaghan) and son (Van Crosby) to visit his college-aged daughter (Zoe Colletti) for Christmas.

Below you’ll find 100 new 2025 Christmas movies, with info on when and how to watch them.

(Note: If you miss a broadcast or cable movie’s original air time, be sure to check out the channel’s website, as many movies are available on-demand with the correct app or a valid cable login.)
