17 holiday movies to stream right now with a Prime Video subscription
Amazon Prime isn’t just good for getting those last-minute gifts.
Prime subscribers, in addition to all those other great perks, get access to the Prime Video streaming service, which is always chock full of movies and TV shows to stream at no additional cost.
In addition to award winners and live sports, the Prime Video Holiday Hub is your one-stop shop for all things Christmas with titles perfect for every age and taste.
Titles included with Prime are free for subscribers to watch, but Amazon offers a 30-day free trial for non-members to try out everything that comes with the service — including Prime Video — before $14.95/month payments begin.
Below, we rounded up 17 movies included with Prime Video that you can watch at no extra cost right now, divided into three categories: new-ish Christmas movies, the classics, and those movies aren’t technically Christmas movies, but we’ll argue they are anyway.
Modern Christmas:
“Red One”
After Santa Claus (Code Name: RED ONE) is kidnapped, the North Pole’s Head of Security (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) must team up with the world’s most infamous bounty hunter (Chris Evans) in a globe-trotting, action-packed mission to save Christmas.
The Christmas classics:
“White Christmas”
Singers Bob Wallace (Bing Crosby) and Phil Davis (Danny Kaye) join sister act Betty (Rosemary Clooney) and Judy Haynes (Vera-Ellen) to perform a Christmas show in rural Vermont. There, they run into Gen. Waverly (Dean Jagger), the boys’ commander in World War II, who, they learn, is having financial difficulties; his quaint country inn is failing. So what’s the foursome to do but plan a yuletide miracle: a fun-filled musical extravaganza that’s sure to put Waverly and his business in the black!
Not not Christmas movies:
“Die Hard”
It’s the eternal debate: Is “Die Hard” a Christmas movie? We sure think so.
In “Die Hard,” a New York policeman (Bruce Willis) outwits thugs holding his wife and others hostage in an exclusive Los Angeles high-rise during a Christmas Eve party.
