The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Though Hulu might not be the first streaming platform audiences would think of when it comes to Christmas movies, it holds its own against some of the bigger services. Disney+ might have Home Alone and HBO Max might have Miracle on 34th Street, but Hulu has the one and only Elf.

Christmas movies are clearly held to a different standard by IMDb users, as so few of them have high scores, and one iconic holiday film available on Hulu has a shockingly low score. But between some underwhelming Hulu originals, a couple of ‘so bad they’re good’ movies, and a soon-to-be classic, Hulu is a major player in the streaming world when it comes to Christmas flicks.

10 Girlfriends Of Christmas Past (2016) – 5.3

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Not to be confused with the Matthew McConaughey movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, this film follows three women who attempt to get revenge on a serial womanizer over the Christmas period.

Hulu is a great streaming platform and has seemingly endless amounts of premium content, but some of their exclusive movies come off as being Hallmark-y, and that’s no more obvious with their Christmas movies. Girlfriends of Christmas Past is the best example of that.

9 Christmas With The Kranks (2004) – 5.4

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Tim Allen is best known for the classic Christmas movie The Santa Clause, and though that’s a celebrated holiday film with several sequels, one that goes under the radar is Christmas With The Kranks. The movie follows a family who gets pulled into a feud with their neighbors over Christmas lights.

The 2004 movie might not be the best Christmas film in the world, and it isn’t even Tim Allen’s best Christmas movie, but there’s still a lot to enjoy about it. Between how relatable it is and the impressive supporting cast including Dan Aykroyd and Jamie Lee Curtis, Christmas With The Kranks is worth watching seeking out for people with a Hulu account.

8 Christmas Perfection (2018) – 5.5

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Christmas Perfection is not the most inspired holiday movie, as it has the basic premise where the protagonist is forced to learn the “true meaning” of Christmas, which has been told countless times. Still, it has fun moments.

In the case of the 2018 movie, a perfectionist is magically transported to her ideal Christmas village, but she finds out that perfection isn’t all that perfect after all. Despite having so many blueprints that the movie can follow and be inspired by, it works well enough.

7 The March Sisters At Christmas (2012) – 5.5

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

The popular coming-of-age novel Little Women has been adapted multiple times, most recently with the incredible 2019 version. But because of all the different takes on the source material, not all of them can be as thought-provoking as the Greta Gerwig-directed movie.

With a 5.5 IMDb score, The March Sisters At Christmas is one of the very worst. It’s only loosely based on the original novel, as the March sisters work together on restoring the family home when their parents intend on selling it. Despite not ranking among the greatest adaptations, it is still something that some fans will appreciate.

6 Jingle All The Way (1996) – 5.7

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Jingle All The Way is in no way exclusive to Hulu, as it’s also available on Disney+ and Prime Video. However, that might be because it’s so in demand. The Arnold Schwarzenegger-led Christmas movie doesn’t have a high score on IMDb but is something of a classic for a few.

Even though Jingle All The Way is a kids’ movie, it isn’t entirely appropriate for kids, as it sees Howard getting into fights with mall Santas and there’s even a bomb threat. However, the movie gets better with age, and those who grew up with it love it now more than ever, as all the adult jokes that flew over their heads in the ’90s now make sense.

5 A Very Brady Christmas (1988) – 6.0

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

A Very Brady Christmas marked the reunion of The Brady Bunch 14 years after the show ended, but the reunion was bittersweet. Simply bringing the cast together wasn’t enough for the audience to get completely on board with the Christmas movie.

Though the direct-to-television movie got ridiculously high ratings in terms of people who tuned in 33 years ago, people thought it was a bit too sappy and rough around the edges. On top of that, there are just too many things that make no sense about the movie that are too hard to ignore. However, there are still some things in A Very Brady Christmas that die-hard fans of the series could enjoy.

4 Happiest Season (2020) – 6.6

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Though Hulu’s original Christmas movies don’t exactly have that warm holiday feeling and leave a lot to be desired, Happiest Season comes the closest to reaching that Christmas spirit. The movie follows a woman who brings home her girlfriend for the holidays except she hasn’t told her parents that she’s gay.

Happiest Season sports a great cast of brilliant comedic actors, including Alison Brie and Aubrey Plaza, and it’s full of laughs. It also has tons of heart and Christmas cheer, and it would have gotten a lot more attention if not for being a Hulu exclusive.

3 The Holiday (2006) – 6.9

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

From the way it was marketed, the movie looked like a typical schlocky romantic movie that capitalizes on a holiday, much as Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve, both of which have a 5.7 on IMDb. But The Holiday is so much more.

There are loads of great Jack Black roles, but one of his movies that’s so rarely mentioned is The Holiday, and the actor gives in a surprisingly subdued but great performance too. The film does have a gooey premise in which two women from different countries switch homes in an attempt to fall in love, but it’s elevated to a great comedy.

2 Elf (2003) – 7.0

The 10 Best Christmas Movies On Hulu Ranked According To IMDb

Elf is such a classic holiday movie and is screened in almost every household in the US in December. The rating would be expected to be higher but it could be that the movie is too silly for some viewers, that they find Will Ferrell’s comedy over the top, or that it flips Christmas movie tropes on their heads, but that’s exactly why it’s so great.

The movie might lowkey spoil the truth about Santa Claus, but Elf also builds its own fascinating lore. It has such a unique visual style and it’s full of laugh-out-loud gags that are rarely seen in Christmas movies.

1 The Man Who Invented Christmas (2017) – 7.0

It’s surprising how high of a score The Man Who Invented Christmas has on IMDb, as the movie is relatively new and it takes a while for even the best Christmas movies to reach such a high status. However, the 2017 film is just that good, and it might not be long until it’s mentioned in the same breath as Home Alone and A Muppets Christmas Carol.

The movie follows Charles Dickens as he goes about developing his 1843 classic novella, A Christmas Carol. The narrative of the movie has a Godfather Part II-like approach, as part of the movie follows Dickens as he creates the novella, and it’s intercut with the actual story of A Christmas Carol. As there have been so many adaptations of the story, The Man Who Invented Christmas is one of the most unique.
