All the New 2023 Christmas Movies Coming to Hallmark, Lifetime, Netflix, Great American Family and More

Santa may be making a list, but we’ve got one too — and it’s sure to bring about just as many surprises.

Holiday movie season is upon us, and that means Hallmark, Lifetime, Great American Family, BET+, Netflix and so many others are churning out Christmas movies by the dozen or more. In fact, there are more than 100 entries this year to keep that hot cocoa flowing all the way until next year.

Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Garner, Teri Hatcher, Lacey Chabert, Phylicia Rashad and Leighton Meester are just a few of the famous faces getting festive this season. The slates include at least four royal-centric movies, a whole lotta action in kitchens and settings in gorgeous, faraway places (from Heidelberg to Paris and beyond). You’ll also spot a handful of mysteries mixed in with the rom-coms.

Keep scrolling for a comprehensive guide to all the new Christmas movies of 2023, including when and where to watch them.
