New Christmas movies coming soon now streaming in 2022

 Sure, you could watch Christmas Vacation for the one bazillionth time in a row, or you could watch something new and start this holiday season with a surprise. And there are a lot of new options out there! Hallmark Channel has something like 40 new Christmas movies on its own, but there are new originals from streaming giants HBO Max, Netflix, Paramount+, and more, too. And don't forget about the broadcast networks, which love to splurge on some yuletide-filled specials.

Our list of the best new Christmas movies to watch this year features continuations of classics you're familiar with, the typical cheesy-yet-charming basic cable originals, and even a documentary about being Santa Claus, no matter who you are. And of course, if you're looking for the familiar classics, it's all good; we have a list of the best Christmas movies and where to stream them. And if you'd rather check out all the Christmas movies and specials coming out and where and when to watch them, check out our Ultimate Guide to Christmas Movies and Specials. It's longer than Santa's naughty and nice list.

Falling for Christmas (Netflix)

Lindsay Lohan starring in a Christmas movie is really all the info you need about Netflix's Falling for Christmas. If that's not enough to entice you, then yes, she does play a spoiled heiress to her dad's Aspen resort business, and yes, she does get amnesia, and yes, she does fall for a local lodge keeper (Chord Overstreet). It's a primo example of not watching a holiday movie for the actual plot, but for the spectacle (or lack thereof) of it all. It is exactly what you'd expect it to be, and that's a predictably good and corny time.


A Christmas Story Christmas (HBO Max)

Continuations and remakes of Christmas classics, whether we asked for them or not, are big business. In this sequel set in the 1970s, Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) is now all grown up, catches up with old friends, and must give his own family the magical kind of Christmas his dad gave him. Reviews are mixed for this new take (our own Matt Jacobs didn't care for it), but it knows how to mine the nostalgia you're looking for.


Santa Camp (HBO Max)

Christmas movies don't have to be confined to a small town baker trying to save her bakery or a small town innkeeper trying to save her inn or a small town candle maker trying to save her candlery. Documentaries also work well to capture the Christmas spirit, especially ones like Santa Camp, which follows an annual gathering of wannabe Santas as they welcome their first diverse Santas and empower Mrs. Clauses. It's a heartwarming film that isn't afraid to challenge norms, and the ending may just make your heart burst wide open.


Spirited (Nov. 18, Apple TV+)

Yep, it's another take on A Christmas Carol. Only this time, it's the Ghost of Christmas Present who is examining his life, thanks to a particularly unique Scrooge. Spirited definitely has the most famous cast (apologies, Lacey Chabert) of this year's Christmas movies, with Will Ferrell playing the spectral rep of Christmas and Ryan Reynolds suiting up as the miserly human who's supposed to be the one who's changing. Did we mention it's a musical? 


New Christmas movies coming soon

Three Wise Men and a Baby (Nov. 19, 8/7c Hallmark)

Three Wise Men and a Baby is like Hallmark's version of The Avengers, because it brings together three big Hallmark stars. Andrew Walker (My Family Christmas Tree), Tyler Hynes (Unexpected Christmas), and Paul Campbell (Christmas by Starlight) play three dudes who find themselves caring for a baby over the holidays, and yep, there will be diaper jokes. (It's against the law to not have a stinky diaper joke in movies like these.)


Santa Bootcamp (Nov. 19, 8/7c Lifetime)

Melissa Joan Hart goes behind the camera for this film, which stars The Walking Dead's Emily Kinney as an event planner who must put on an extravagant Christmas gala for a mall magnate. In searching for the perfect Santa, she attends a Santa bootcamp where she meets an instructor (the fab Rita Moreno) who — you'll never guess — teaches her to love Christmas again. Does she also fall for the handsome mall magnate? You bet your butterscotch.

'The Menu' A New Film Leaves the One Percent Well Done

Image
 Ralph Fiennes stars as an off the wall culinary specialist who designs a stunning dinner for his eatery's visitors. The list of must-dos café where the majority of the activity in the new sarcastic film The Menu happens is fictitious; its gourmet expert is as well. However, assuming that you've concentrated completely on the universe of top notch food over the course of the past 10 years, you know Hawthorn and you know Julian Slowik. The Menu recounts the tale of what befalls a gathering of gastronomes who have made the journey to eat a dinner in the possession of Slowik and his unit. The gourmet specialist, played by Ralph Fiennes, doesn't simply prepare food; he recounts stories. What's more, by the sound of things, individuals the world over would immediately seize the opportunity to make a similar challenging excursion to this distant island, and to take care of the $1,200 supper bill for the honor — if by some stroke of good luck they could get a booking. However,...

Image
 “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” took down muted competition, including Universal's new holiday thriller “Violent Night”, to remain No.1 at the box office. Now in its fourth weekend of release, the superhero sequel added $17.6 million from 3,855 theaters, taking its domestic tally to $393.7 million. Reporting from Variety, Tuesday (6/12/2022), “Violent Night,” the only new release in America this weekend, couldn't muster enough Christmas spirit to take down the powerful Wakandan warriors.
