Having said that, here are the 10 best films to watch on DisneyPlus on the evening of December 25, from the "little-known" classics to the most recent releases and which will appeal to both adults and children.
Christmas approaches and, together with it, also the numerous ones family movie suggestions which every year, as per tradition (although this year a little later due to the World Cup in Qatar), are suggested by most of the Italian television channels and beyond.
However, if only thought to review "Mom I missed the plane", “Miracle on 34th Street”, “An armchair for two” o "Christmas song" (in any of the many existing versions) for the thousandth time is enough to make you roll your eyes, just these days on Disneyplus many came out new christmas movies, both animated and not, dedicated to the little ones but which will also appeal to the older ones.
Some, like “Christmas…again?!”, while winking at a very young audience, fail to capture the heart because they look too much like others (in this case “12 Times Christmas”), but on the other hand there are many others that we really liked and, for this reason, we decided to offer them to you for Christmas evening.
