Our Top 10 Picks
We promise there’s something for everyone this Christmas on Disney Plus. Now, we know Christmas is not for everyone *ahem* How dare you?! So, to keep it fair we’ll include some goodies that bear no semblance to Christmas. What. So. Ever.
But we’ve got to admit that the majority of our picks are jam-packed with festive cheer. Santa. Rudolf the Red-nosed reindeer. Gingerbread men. Cinnamon tea. Golden lights. Christmas trees and snowy door wreaths…
Anyone else Buddy-the-Elf-when-he-sees-Santa kind of excited?
10. Hawkeye (2021)
Hawkeye is the upcoming instalment of Marvel’s miniseries. Similar titles like WandaVision and Loki scored very well with critics and fans of the cinematic universe. If they’re anything to go by, we’re sure Hawkeye will be another hit. Just in time for your well-deserved Marvel-athon.
9. Christmas Again (2021)
A new original movie is scheduled to premiere on Disney Plus on December 10th. Rowena, otherwise known as “Ro”, is struggling to come to terms with her parent’s divorce. Because of this, the spirited teenager is not in a very Christmassy mood, even in the company of her sister Gabby. She wants to go back to better days. So, she wishes Santa would “do over” Christmas. As a result, she finds it is Christmas every day. Looks like Wizzard got their wish after all.
8. Foodtastic (2021)
Also coming to Disney this December is the reality TV show Foodtastic. Contestants must build impressive but irresistible sculptures out of tasty food. Now, we’ve got our fingers crossed for a full-sized Christmas candy house.

But that should relieve some of the stress of cooking Christmas dinner, right?
6. Star Wars: Skywalker Saga (1977 – 2019)

Although Scott personally believes Santa is fake, he pretends that Santa is real to keep the magic of Christmas alive for his son. During the night, Scott and Charlie hear a bang on the roof. Scott goes outside to investigate and startles a man on the roof. Turns out that man was Santa! As a result, Scott has now been reigned in to signing the Santa CLAUSE…
