PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — It’s the season for Christmas movies. But with many available on streaming, where do you even begin?

KOIN 6 resident movie buff Emma Jerome has her favorite festive picks, poring over all the holiday flicks (and some TV specials) on the biggest streaming platforms.

Starting with the Christmas classics on Netflix, we have White Christmas. For a more modern classic Love, Actually is also back on the platform.

Then there’s the stop-motion short film, Robin Robin, nominated for Best Animated Short at the 2022 Oscars.

Pivoting over to Disney Plus, there is not only Santa Clause 1, 2 and 3, but the the new series The Santa Clauses. Then there’s Arnold Schwarzenegger in Jingle All The Way.

But the biggest selection is arguably on Hulu and Max this year, including the likes of A Christmas Story, Elf (which turns 20 this year), and Meet Me in St. Louis.
