Hulu celebrates the Huludays with lots of Christmas movies

By Blair Marnell Published November 2, 2023

With Huluween in the rearview mirror, Hulu isn’t wasting any time getting ready for the holidays. Earlier this week, Hulu officially ushered in the Huludays with a lineup of Christmas movies that includes some genuine classics of the season, as well as some made-for-TV films with a few familiar faces.

Many of the Christmas films on Hulu are celebrating anniversaries in 2023, including our favorite Christmas action film, Die Hard, which is marking its 35th anniversary. However, Hulu will only be streaming Die Hard through November 30. The majority of the other incoming Christmas anniversary flicks will arrive on Thursday, November 23, including Four Christmases (15th anniversary), Jack Frost (25th anniversary), and Elf (20th anniversary).

Other holiday arrivals on November 23 include National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express, and Fred Claus. Perennial favorites like both versions of Miracle on 34th Street, Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights, The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Family Stone, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause are already streaming.

Hulu is also debuting a handful of new Christmas films this week, including A Christmas Frequency starring Denise Richards as a radio show host who may find new love during the holidays after her marriage comes to an end. Reporting For Christmas has a similar premise, as a lovelorn reporter named Mary (Tamara Feldman) is assigned to interview small town toy manufacturer Blake (Matt Trudeau). Romantic sparks inevitably fly.

Also coming this week is Every Day is Christmas, an updated version of A Christmas Carol with Toni Braxton as Alexis Taylor, a modern Scrooge who is more of a workaholic than a workplace tyrant. But the holiday spirits are going to have to teach Alexis what she’s missing out on by giving up on love. The final new addition of the week is Marry Liddle Christmas, which features Kelly Rowland as Jacquie, an entrepreneur whose desire for a “perfect Christmas” faces some daunting challenges as she reconsiders her romantic future.

Even more Christmas movies will be added to Hulu in December, with the full lineup coming in a few weeks.

3 great Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (January 31-February 2)

This weekend is one of the rare occasions when the start of the month falls on a Saturday. That means a fresh lineup of films will be available to Hulu fans on Saturday, February 1. So rather than rehashing January's releases, all three of our picks for the great Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend are going live on the streamer on Saturday. So make your viewing plans accordingly.
Our choices include a fan-favorite Quentin Tarantino action film, a hilariously dark comedy, and an incredibly charming sports rom-com that still holds up over two decades later.
Need more recommendations? We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
Kill Bill: Vol. 1 (2003)

Quentin Tarantino sure doesn't seem to be in a very big hurry to direct his final film, but two of his best movies are on Hulu in January. Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 are essentially the same film cut into two parts. Yet if we're judging them on an individual basis, the first one is superior. Uma Thurman stars as the Bride — her real name doesn't come up until the second film — and she has a real bone to pick with her former lover, Bill (David Carradine). On the day of her wedding, Bill sent the Bride's former teammates in the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad to murder her and everyone in her wedding party.

5 movies leaving Hulu in January 2025 you have to watch before it’s too late

Kristen Stewart as Princess Diana in Spencer.

Although this post is ostensibly supposed to be about the 5 movies leaving Hulu in January 2025 you have to watch before it's too late, the truth is that you probably won't miss all of the Christmas movies leaving Hulu on January 31. They aren't even all-time holiday classics. Since there are no suitable choices to go with for January, we've had to dive into some of the movies leaving Hulu in February to fill out this post.

The good news for Hulu subscribers is that you have more than just a handful of days to catch these dramas, thrillers, and a lone documentary. Take that extra time and use it to your advantage.

3 great Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (January 24-26)

The end of the month is almost always bone dry when it comes to new films to watch on any of the streaming services. But for the final weekend of January 2025, there's a trio of great Hulu movies that you need to stream. And they couldn't be more different from each other.

Our first pick for the week is an understated character study between two men, while the second is the prototypical action movie of the mid-90s. Finally, our last pick is a movie that we aren't allowed to refer to by name.
