With so many TV channels hopping on the 24/7 holiday content bandwagon, all the options out there might have your head spinning. If you're the kind of person who can't keep track of which TV channel is showing which movie at which time, you might be better off using a streaming service. Luckily, there are lots of holiday movies to watch on Hulu in 2019, so you can watch your movie of choice at 2 p.m., 2 a.m., or any time in between because, let's be honest, there's no wrong time for a holiday flick.
The holidays are a great time for families to gather around the TV for some festive watching — or, you know, for people to avoid their families by hiding out alone with a good movie or two. No matter your watching style, Hulu is making it super-easy to help you find specific types of holiday content. With a dedicated "holiday" tab and content broken up by genre, viewers won't have to search through cartoons and rom-coms if a holiday horror is more their thing. And if you're not exactly sure what you want, take a peek at this handy list of some of the best options out there.
