These are the best Christmas movies you can stream on Peacock

It’s not the best streamer when it comes to Christmas movies, but there are some hidden gems.

Like many relatively new streaming services, Peacock doesn’t have nearly the library of holiday films as some of the larger, more established platforms. However, it is not completely bereft of quality options. While I wouldn’t recommend subscribing to the NBCUniversal streamer specifically for its Christmas offerings, if you already have a subscription there is small, but eclectically interesting, group of holiday movies you can stream to keep you merry and bright through the end of the year.

Both the original “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” and the animated remake “The Grinch” are available on Peacock; they even have a Grinch-themed Yule Log channel that you can put on in the background if you want to make sure that your holiday parties have a little tinge of mischief in the air.

In addition, Peacock offers the 1994 Steve Martin classic “Mixed Nuts” and one of my favorite Christmas-themed movies, “The Family Man.” And if you are looking for a little romance in your holiday viewing, Peacock has you covered. Not only can you stream dozens of classic Hallmark Christmas rom-coms and all of this year’s Countdown to Christmas releases, the streamer also offers the holiday romance classic “The Perfect Holiday.” The 2007 film stars Queen Latifah, the aptly-named Morris Chestnut, Gabrielle Union, Charlie Murphy, Faizon Love, Jill Marie Jones, Katt Williams, Terrence Howard, and more.

If you’re looking for even more holiday content, be sure to check out the best Christmas movies on other streaming platforms as well!
