This is what to stream on Hulu and Disney+ if you’re staying indoors as the country is swept by a monster storm that’s sent temperatures plunging.
— If you’re done decking the halls and you’re fresh out of boughs of holly, take a seat in your favorite spot and curl up with these series and movies to get you through the arctic freeze.
Here are 14 of our picks to put in your Christmas movie or series rotation until it’s time to ring in 2023 (or maybe even beyond).
Frozen
It certainly feels like Elsa blew threw southeast Texas leaving freezing temperatures and the likes of zero (!) degree wind chills in her wake, so „Frozen“ is a strong option to kick off the list. But the good news is we won’t be stuck in eternal winter.
Until we thaw out, relive the mystical magic of adventure with Elsa, Anna, Kristoff, Sven and Olaf. Then do it again with „Frozen 2.“ After that, belt out „Let it go“ with the „Frozen Sing-Along,“ and for a little extra kick, raise the temperature with the short „Frozen Fever.“
Lastly, warm up your home, at least visually, with the three-hour long Arendelle Castle Yule Log.
But seriously, are we in Houston or Arendelle right now?
Santa Clause sagas
Do you want the OG „The Santa Clause“ or are you wondering what Jolly Old Saint Nicholas has been up to after nearly 30 years?
Whatever version you’re feeling, you can find all three „The Santa Clause“ movies starring Tim Allen, plus the new 2022 series that checks in with Scott Calvin, who’s beginning to lose a little bit of his magic. Note that the series is actually called „The Santa Clauses,“ so you might have an idea about where this is going.
The first movie came out in *gasp* 1994. Where has the time gone?
Noelle, Noelle
Kris Kringle’s daughter is the star of this movie as the title character, „Noelle,“ played by Anna Kendrick, has to help her brother, Nick, keep it together. See, Nick is under a lot of pressure to take over for their father, so who can blame him for wanting to crumble like a Christmas cookie?
Backed by a cast that includes Bill Hader, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Billy Eichner, Julie Hagerty, and Shirley MacLaine, „Noelle“ takes families on a fantastic ride.
And if Noelle has any additional time to help organize my life, she’s more than welcome. We all need that someone in our lives, right?
Kevin!
If you didn’t read that and scream it just like Catherine O’Hara, I’m clearly not doing something right.
