The Best Christmas Comedies You Can Stream Right Now

Updated on

This guide will let you know all the great Christmas comedy movies that are streaming online right now.

Yes, the holidays are the happiest and most joyful time of the year…but it’s also a time for crazy crowds, bickering families, and Scrooges all around. That’s probably why so many of us need a good Christmas comedy to get us through the holiday season. Luckily, thanks to streaming services like Max, Netflix, and Disney+, among many others, there are lots of great Christmas comedies streaming right now. Check out our guide below to discover some of the best.

Home Alone

Home Alone is one of the most iconic Christmas movies ever and centers around a somewhat awful family who accidentally forgets their son as they leave for Paris. Now, home alone, Kevin must fight off a pair of burglars using some hilariously brutal homemade traps.

Christmas with the Kranks 

Initially bashed as a horrible and corny holiday movie, Christmas with the Kranks has become a classic simply for how awful it is. In the movie, two parents decide to skip Christmas when they discover their daughter won’t be coming home. What ensues is a full-on war between them and their Christmas-loving neighbors.

The Bitch Who Stole Christmas 

Queens from RuPaul’s Drag Race came together to create an irreverent spoof of cheesy Hallmark Christmas movies. In the film, a big city journalist visits a small town for a juicy holiday story…only to uncover a drama-filled nefarious plot. The Bitch Who Stole Christmas stars queens like RuPaul, Peppermint, Gotmik, and Ginger Minj.

A Christmas Story

“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!” has become an iconic line that’s shouted yearly at Christmastime thanks to A Christmas Story. Taking place in 1940, the movie is an ode to how Midwestern families celebrated Christmas back in the day. The craziest part is how relatable the movie remains to this day.

Christmas Vacation

Nothing can ever go right for the Griswold family…but let’s be honest here, that’s the whole reason we love them so much. In Christmas Vacation, the family hopes to celebrate the best holiday ever, but instead they’re met with homeless relatives, exploding sewers, electrocuted cats, and one hell of a Scroogey boss. Ah, Christmas!

Mixed Nuts

This mostly unknown cult classic holiday movie centers around the employees of a suicide hotline on Christmas. Also, there’s a serial killer on the loose known as the Seaside Strangler. But somehow, despite all the terror and death around them, this group of misfits learns the true meaning of the season. Plus, Mixed Nuts stars comedy legends Steve Martin and Madeline Kahn.

Jingle All the Way

Jingle All the Way poked fun at the way consumerism has taken over the world and shows a father, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger, who feels that getting his son the perfect present is more important than actually spending time with him. Even crazier, just weeks after the movie’s release, the Tickle Me Elmo craze hit America, and scenes from Jingle All the Way ended up playing out in real life.

A Bad Moms Christmas 

Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell, and Kathryn Hahn all reprised their Bad Moms roles for this holiday sequel. Even better, with it being the holidays, the moms are forced to spend time with their own moms. Other notable names in the cast include Wanda Sykes, Christine Baranski, and Christina Applegate.
