Family and kids Christmas on Disney+

Kevin gets left behind, the house becomes a fortress, and a lot of us still know the soundtrack by heart. On Disney+. The 1990 one, not a remix.

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+.

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.

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+.

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.

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.

A fairy godmother in training picks the wrong kind of client and ends up fixing a tired adult life instead of a ball. Isla Fisher, Disney+, and softer than the title sounds.

Kevin and the same two burglars, this time in a toy-store New York. Bigger, louder, and still the sequel people quote. Disney+ again.

A different kid, a different set of crooks, and a remote-control car that does a lot of work. It is the 1997 one. Lower stakes, same Disney+ shelf, fine if the first two are worn out.

A college kid has to get home for Christmas or lose the car, and the country between him and the dinner table does not cooperate. A 1998 Disney comedy. Jonathan Taylor Thomas, if that name just warmed you.

Scrooge McDuck, twenty-four minutes, and a surprisingly complete Carol. Disney+ has it for the night you want the story and you also want to be in bed soon.

A direct-to-video Richie Rich Christmas from 1998, which is exactly the time capsule it sounds like. On Disney+ and Prime. Kids who like a silly rich-kid plot will be fine. Adults may feel the decade.

Tim Allen's workaholic dad puts on the suit and the job starts to stick. The 1994 movie that made a generation believe the beard comes with paperwork. On Disney+.

Santa has to get married or lose the job, which is a very specific HR problem. The sequel is sillier and still on Disney+ with the first.

Jack Frost wants the workshop, and the family has to survive a visit from the in-laws. The third one is the broadest. Kids who already love the first two will not mind.
