VPNs for ad-blocking Netflix has done a stand-up job of providing us with the usual suspects over the years, like Die Hard and Home Alone and more recently it’s released a bonafide Christmas classic-in-the-making with the wonderful Klaus. But as we all know, sometimes the best Christmas movies have nothing to do with Christmas at all; animated classics like Aladdin, Hercules and The Little Mermaid provide all the merriment without any of the overt Christmas messaging. Now that Disney Plus has launched in Australia, Walt’s vault will be at your fingertips this Christmas (with most of it in crisp 4K resolution). So whether you’re after the obvious Christmas picks or simply something warm and fuzzy to send you off after too much mulled wine, these are the best Christmas movies on Disney Plus.

If Henry Selick’s The Nightmare Before Christmas isn’t already part of your holiday routine, there’s no better time to follow the Pumpkin King’s quest to bring some festive joy to the frightful folks of Halloweentown. There should also be something new for returning guests too, as Disney Plus includes a selection of extra content, with deleted scenes and storyboards, such as a deleted scene of Oogie Boogie’s Shadow Dance. Because Frozen 2 has officially released and while it won’t be home by Christmas, Disney Plus has the next best thing: the first Frozen movie. But that’s not all, folks. Disney Plus also has Olaf’s Frozen Adventure, Frozen Fever and four episodes of Lego Frozen: Northern Lights. There’s also a bunch of fun extras the kids probably haven’t seen before, like deleted scenes and something called Disney As Told By Emoji: Frozen? I don’t know, I’m just the messenger. Watch Frozen on Disney Plus If you’re planning on catching Joe Pesci in Scorcese’s The Irishman this year, Home Alone is an essential supplementary text. Pesci plays one part of a burglar duo who pick the wrong Culkin to mess with one fateful Christmas (Kieran would have been a straight pushover). Best of all, you can follow-up with Home Alone 2: Lost in New York immediately after on Disney Plus. Just give the Culkin-free Home Alone 3 a miss. Watch Home Alone on Disney Plus Few straight-up Christmas flicks stand the test of time like The Muppet Christmas Carol but it’s not only the most fozzie-bearable version of the classic Christmas tale, it’s one of the most enjoyable holiday films for young and old. Not only is The Muppet Christmas Carol available to stream in 4K/UHD, but there’s also a bonus deleted song “When Love is Gone” from Ebeneezer Scrooge (Caine) and Belle (Meredith Braun). Watch The Muppet Christmas Carol on Disney Plus And what better way to feel the love than with the family-focused animated musical Coco? Coming hot off the heels of a couple of Pixar flops (by Pixar’s standards), Coco came at a time where fans might have been experiencing a bit of fatigue from the revolutionary animation studio. If you did give this one a miss at the time, we can’t recommend it enough. Coco follows Miguel, a young Mexican boy and gifted musician who ends up trapped in the afterlife after he disobeys his dispirited family. Set in The Land of the Dead and based on the Dia de Los Muertos festival, this is an adventure that’s bursting with colour and banging tunes. Watch Coco on Disney Plus Iron Man 3 is set in the aftermath of the first Avengers flick where Tony Stark had a close shave with death in the vast emptiness of space. Naturally, Tony’s having a bit of a rough time back on Earth. Nothing that a bit of Christmas magic can’t fix. Up against it, Tony’s past comes back to haunt him in a devastating way, forcing him to reconnect with his roots and piece himself back together again, like the very suits he now uses as a safety blanket. As we know from later movies, things don’t get much easier for Tony as time goes on, but that’s showbiz, baby. Watch Iron Man 3 on Disney Plus At the very least, do yourself a favour and check out Return of Jafar. It’s worth it for the epic showdown with an evil Genie. Though, you will miss Robin Williams’ Genie. No doubt a little too high-profile for a direct-to-video release, Robin Williams sat this one out, handing the role of Genie over to Dan Castellaneta (Homer Simpson). Once again, there’s a few extra goodies on hand, most notably Jafar’s deleted song from the original, “My Finest Hour”. Watch Aladdin on Disney Plus You’re not going to watch this one yourself but it should be a good sitter for the speculatist in your litter. At the very least, it’s a safety net to prevent the little ones in your family from walking in on an Alex Jones tirade. Watch Secrets of Christ’s Tomb on Disney Plus To top it all off, it’s set against the backdrop of communist, snow-covered Russia circa 1926. Wonderful. Watch Anastasia on Disney Plus This elusive documentary was first released as an exclusive 150-minute bonus disc for the 2004 Star Wars Trilogy box set. It was released later that year on the A&E Network but with about an hour content cut out. Now with the launch of Disney Plus, a wider audience has access to, seemingly, all 150 minutes of the documentary (but there’s still a disclaimer to state that some content has been edited out). Give it a whirl over Christmas while you revel in the glorious afterglow or deep disappointment of Rise of the Skywalker. Watch Empire of Dreams on Disney Plus Cool Runnings is a comedy with heart. Behind the surface level laughs and fish-out-of-water gags, there’s an inspiring story about determination, teamwork and breaking boundaries. Fun fact: Director Jon Turtletaub went on to direct the National Treasure movies (also on Disney Plus) and … The Meg? Go figure. Watch Cool Runnings on Disney Plus And if you want to continue to nibble away at the old-timey classics, Disney Plus is also streaming Steamboat Willie, Mickey Mouse in “The Band Concert”, and Lonesome Ghosts, just to name a few.
