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.

01'Same Time, Next Christmas'

Hulu

For those dreaming of warmer weather this Christmas, you might want to look to this new ABC original movie that takes place in Hawaii. Glee's Lea Michele and Charles Michael Davis star as two childhood sweethearts who reunite over Christmas vacation. However, things get complicated when Michele's characters's current partner shows up on the same trip and makes the two protagonists question their decades-old bond.

02'Rodeo & Juliet'

03'Holiday In Handcuffs'

This movie, which stars Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez, gives whole new means to the term "cuffing season." A young woman literally handcuffs one of her customers and brings him home, showing him off as the "perfect boyfriend." Their relationship might start off on rocky terms, but viewers learn there might actually be hope for them as a couple.

04'An Accidental Christmas'

In this Parent Trap-esque flick, Vicki and Jason are set up by their children to spend the holidays on vacation together. But it might just take a Christmas miracle to get them to fall in love all over again.

An elevator might seem like an unlikely place to find love, but an impromptu kiss under the mistletoe sparks some major flames between a shy workaholic and an outrageous millionaire. Bonus: This movie stars Jonathan Bennet (aka Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls.)

A mysterious Christmas calendar shows up on the doorstep of a struggling bakery, bringing the town (and two bakers in particular) together to figure out where it came from.

09'Home For The Holidays'

Although this 1995 classic technically happens over Thanksgiving, it's the symbolic start to the holiday season and is too relatable not to mention. Claudia returns home to visit her eccentric extended family over the holidays, and learns how to navigate their quirks along the way.
