‘Tis the season to be jolly. And, what could possibly be jollier than slipping on a comfy onesie, commandeering the couch, and settling in for a movie marathon? Nothing, that’s what.

With Halloween behind us, it’s time to set our sights on the holiday season. That means lots of twinkle lights, hot chocolate, and holiday music. But it also means that there will be tons of holiday movies available to stream on all your favorite apps and sites for the next few months. And what better way to get into the holiday spirit than with your old pals Netflix, HBO Go, Amazon Instant Video and Hulu?

Consider this your ultimate movie playlist. Many of these are holiday classics; some are feel-good films that make you feel a little less Grinch-like, and all are available to stream online. All you need now is to hire an elf to keep the eggnog and Christmas cookies coming.

Just Friends, 2005

Long before Ryan Reynolds was the internet’s favorite snarky boyfriend in a Deadpool suit, he was the star of this classic. Yes, it is a classic. Reynolds is at his sarcastic best in this one. And never forget the magic of Anna Farris as a pop star whose voice will haunt your dreams after you hear songs like “Forgiveness.”

A Charlie Brown Christmas, 1965

Is it Christmas if we don’t hear the Peanuts theme song? Is it Christmas if Pig-Pen doesn’t dance? What if Linus doesn’t drag his blankie? The answer is no. We need you, Charlie Brown. You’re a Christmas classic.

Serendipity, 2001

A chance meeting while celebrating Christmas in New York brings together to strangers (Kate Beckinsale and John Cusack). If that sounds cheesy, just know that it is. But we could also use a little cheesy during the holidays.

The Year Without a Santa Claus, 1974

What’s more fun than stop-motion animated holiday movies? Absolutely nothing. The Year Without a Santa Claus shows us what would happen to the world if Santa just decided to call it quits. It also features a badass Mrs. Claus basically trying to save Christmas.

Snow Day, 2000

Snow Day is a great example of Nickelodeon taking a real-life event — the love of having a snow day when you’re a kid — and turning it into a feature-length film. It will also warm your heart because of all the nostalgia.

Christmas with the Kranks, 2004

Look, let’s be real: This movie is absurd. But sometimes, absurd holiday movies are the best escape from reality when your prying aunt has just finished off the egg nog and started annoying everyone, yes?

When Harry Met Sally, 1989

We should probably hate this film for conning us into thinking we’d meet our one true love at the stroke of midnight on New Year’s Eve, but it’s still adorable.
