Updated Dec. 5 2025, 11:20 a.m. ET

For many a family across our great nation, their winter holiday traditions involve sitting around the TV set and watching movies that capture good cheer. Some like to play around with this formula and argue that any movie set during Christmas falls under this umbrella, see Die Hard, or pretty much any movie written or directed by Shane Black.
But if you're looking for newer films to usher in the holiday spirit for 2025, there are a few new titles you can check out. Here are some of the best new holiday movies of 2025 that span a variety of different genres.

'Goodbye June' — Netflix
The flick stars Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, and Toni Collette and is set to debut on Netflix on Dec. 24, 2025. It marks Winslet's directorial debut, and the screenplay was written by Winslet's son, Joe Anders. The film follows four siblings who reunite around Christmas time to rally around their mother, whose health is in jeopardy.
Judging from the trailer, Goodbye June probably isn't one for Hallmark enthusiasts due to its heavy subject matter, but its stellar cast with incredible resumes should make it an intriguing watch.
'Disney's Hulu's Family Guy Hallmark Channel's Lifetime's Familiar Holiday Movie' — Hulu
Family Guy has a history of spoofs, like when it parodied Star Wars with its Blue Harvest specials. For 2025, the long-running animated series created by Seth MacFarlane set straight-to-TV/streaming holiday flicks in its sights with its absurdly long-titled special. The animated flick is intended for mature audiences, in typical Family Guy fashion, so maybe refrain from watching this with the kids, although they're probably going to check it out themselves on a tablet that doesn't have any parental controls on it.
It's available to stream right now on Hulu if you're thinking of checking it out.
'Oh. What. Fun.' — Prime Video
Michelle Pfeiffer plays a taken-for-granted mom in a family drama that debuted on Amazon Prime on Dec. 3, 2025.

'Merv' — Prime Video
The Zooey Deschanel and Charlie Cox-led Christmas holiday stars the two as a recently split-up couple who share custody of their depressed dog, Merv. After taking their dog to the vet, they learn the root cause of their pup's sadness: their breakup.
So Cox's character decides to take Merv on a boys' trip to a dog beach in Florida, and Deschanel surprises them by being there for Merv too. While spending time together to cheer their dog up, they rekindle their love for one another.
'A Merry Little Ex-Mas' — Netflix

So she attempts to one-up him by linking up with a fit 28-year-old.
A Merry Little Ex-Mas is currently streaming on Netflix.
'Champagne Problems' — Netflix
Christmas in Paris these days might not seem like the picturesque dream of Yuletide romance some would like to believe. However, that vision is still alive and well in the Netflix Christmas movie Champagne Problems. The film stars Minka Kelly as an executive headed to the legendary city of love to close a massive business deal for a vineyard.
After promising she'll have at least one night of fun, she ends up sleeping with the son of the vineyard owner her company is thinking of buying out, which she only discovers the morning after. The rest of the film finds Kelly's character navigating awkwardness and ethical choices, pitting her business interests against her newfound flame's desire to protect his father's life's work.
