As the festive season approaches, the UK's favourite streaming platforms are unveiling their 2025 line-up of Christmas films, promising to deliver holiday cheer directly to your living room. With an impressive selection ranging from romantic comedies to dramatic capers, there's something to suit every taste this December.
Netflix's Festive Offerings
Netflix continues its tradition of delivering both modern rom-coms and festive classics, with several new releases already available. Leading the pack is A Merry Little Ex-Mas, a feel-good film centred on a couple navigating an amicable divorce. Their plans for one final family Christmas celebration become wonderfully complicated when they introduce their new partners to the festivities.
Another standout is Champagne Problems, which launched on November 19. This romantic comedy follows a busy businesswoman in the process of acquiring Château Cassell champagne house. After a magical night with a stranger in Paris, she's shocked to discover he's actually the son of the champagne company's founder, blending business with pleasure in the most unexpected way.
For those seeking something different from the usual romantic fare, Jingle Bell Heist arrives on November 26. This dramatic film features two thieves whose plans unravel when they discover they're targeting the same London department store on Christmas Eve. The cast includes Sex Education star Connor Swindells and Motherland's Lucy Punch.
Disney+ and Sky Cinema Entries
Disney+ delivers a musical treat with A Very Jonas Christmas, featuring the Jonas brothers in their return to Disney. The film, available now, follows three famous brothers racing from London to New York to make it home for Christmas. With seven original songs and co-stars including Will Ferrell and Billie Lourd, it has earned an impressive 81% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Sky Cinema offers Tinsel Town, streaming from December 5. Starring Rebel Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland, this film follows a washed-up actor who discovers the true meaning of Christmas while starring in a small-town production of Cinderella. Directed by Chris Foggin and shot entirely in Yorkshire, it features a mix of British and American talent.
Amazon Prime and Emotional Dramas
Amazon Prime joins the festive lineup with Oh. What. Fun, releasing on December 3. This family comedy-drama stars Michelle Pfeiffer, Eva Longoria, and Chloe Grace Moretz in a story about a mother forgotten by her family during Christmas preparations, bearing more than a passing resemblance to classic holiday films.
Our final recommendation is Netflix's Goodbye June, directed by Kate Winslet and arriving on December 12. This emotional drama follows four adult siblings and their father navigating family dynamics during their mother's health decline just before Christmas. Early reactions suggest this will be a genuine tearjerker for the holiday season.
With streaming platforms investing heavily in original Christmas content, 2025 offers an unprecedented variety of festive viewing options. Whether you prefer romantic comedies, family dramas, or action-packed heists, this year's selection ensures your holiday streaming will be anything but predictable.
