In a new video, Disney+ highlighted 14 of the best Christmas TV episodes to stream this holiday season. In 2025, finding that perfect piece of festive content can be so hard, given the sheer amount of snow-capped content on the various streaming platforms. So, it is helpful when the streamers themselves select a few of their favorites that they deem worth checking out.
Of course, there are plenty of new Christmas-themed releases for audiences to enjoy (like Netflix's 2025 Christmas movie My Secret Santa), but Disney+ is telling its subscribers to revisit some classic TV episodes in its branding for the 'most wonderful time of the year.'
Disney+ shared a video promo on its official Instagram page, putting the spotlight on 14 Christmas TV episodes for subscribers to enjoy over the 2025 holiday season. These include everything from Disney Channel original favorites like Hannah Montana and The Suite Life of Zach & Cody to mainstays of adult animation like The Simpsons and Family Guy.
Each of these titles is now streaming as part of the Disney+ or Hulu on Disney+ library.
