Family and kids Christmas on Tubi
The Alastair Sim Carol and the George C. Scott Carol are both free, and older kids can handle either. Christmas Time Is Here and the 2019 Addams Family cartoon are easier for the little ones. The True Miracle of Christmas is under an hour if the evening started late. Ads included, subscription not required.

Christmas Time Is Here

A soft 2020 Christmas movie, and it is everywhere we checked: Netflix, Prime, Paramount+, Peacock, and Tubi. When a title is this easy to find, the couch wins.
