Best films on TV for Christmas and New Year 2022

As we head into the Christmas Countdown, and of course the big day for many, i thought i’d put together a thread again on What Christmas films are on TV (Free to Air) and streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. It was pretty popular last time, so i’m hoping it’ll help!

If there’s no date next to the films/shows, then you should be able to watch them now. Please note though, some services pull films/shows as/when but i will try and keep this list up to date, as much as possible but worth double checking via guides etc, as other shows may over-run.
