A few already on Disney+
The Muppet Christmas Carol
1992
1h 26mG
Michael Caine plays Scrooge with a straight face and the Muppets do the rest. It might be the best Christmas movie, and we will not be taking questions. Disney+.
Miracle on 34th Street
1947
1h 36mG
A department-store Santa might be the real one, and a little girl is trying to decide what she is allowed to believe. The 1947 film, on Disney+ and Prime. Still the gentlest argument for wonder.
The Nightmare Before Christmas
1993
1h 16mPG
Jack Skellington tries to run Christmas and gets the joy all wrong before he gets it right. Halloween bones, Christmas heart, and it is on Disney+.
Noelle
2019
1h 40mG
Santa's daughter has to find her brother and maybe take the sleigh herself. Anna Kendrick, a bright Disney+ original, good for kids who want a present-day North Pole.
A Christmas Carol
2009
1h 36mPG
Jim Carrey plays the whole haunting in the motion-capture Carol. It is darker than the Muppet one and very watchable. Prime and Disney+ both have it.
That's the pile.
