The best holiday movies and shows on Disney Plus
It's that time of year again.
Disney Plus holiday shows are a plenty in 2020. Same goes for movies. That's in no small part to Disney+ being home to not just Disney content, but also Star Wars, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pixar, National Geographic, and more.
And that "more" is doing a lot of work — Disney also has the rights to the entire Simpsons catalog, for example, which gets its own section below in the list of the best holiday movies and shows available on Disney+.
The holiday season also makes now the perfect time to give Disney+ a shot. We're in the middle of a new season of The Mandalorian, which has been the tentpole new series for Disney+, but it's really just scratching the surface if you're looking for something new.
But right now is all about the holidays. So hit up the list below and get your family-friendly spirit on.
Disney+ runs $6.99 a month, or $69.99 a year. But if you're really serious, you should check out the Disney+/Hulu/ESPN+ bundle for $12.99 a month that gets you all three of those services — effectively getting you three for the price of two.
