The Holiday
2006
2h 16mPG-13
Two women swap houses for Christmas, one in a rose-covered English cottage and one in a Los Angeles movie life, and both of them get unstuck. Jude Law cries in a doorway. It is on Hulu. This is the one a lot of us meant.

A few already on Hulu
Last Christmas
2019
1h 43mPG-13
She is a mess in a London Christmas shop, and he seems too good to be a coincidence. Emilia Clarke, a George Michael soundtrack, and a turn you should let happen. On Hulu.
Little Women
2019
2h 15mPG
The March sisters grow up, argue, write, and come home. Greta Gerwig's film ends in winter and feels like a wool coat. On Hulu. One of the best movies of its decade, holiday or not.
Almost Christmas
2016
1h 51mPG-13
A family tries to cook their late mother's recipes and not fall apart doing it. Danny Glover holds the center. On Hulu and Peacock. Have a plate nearby.
Christmas Eve in Miller's Point
2024
1h 47mPG-13
One long Christmas Eve party in a small town, overheard more than plotted. An indie on Hulu for people who like the noise of a real house.
Miracle on 34th Street
1994
1h 54mPG
Richard Attenborough is Kris Kringle in the remake, and the department store is still on trial. It landed on Hulu. A good one if the 1947 film feels too old for the room and you still want the belief.
That's the pile.
