With the holiday season fast approaching, audiences can expect to see a number of new Christmas movies coming to movie theaters and streaming services alike. Although Christmas movies make up a fairly small fraction of films overall, they can be some of the most iconic and memorable. Oftentimes, the best Christmas movies are those that viewers want to watch again and again, not just every year but over and over again throughout the holiday season. Christmas movies allow audiences to get into the holiday spirit quickly and easily.
2024 is seeing a major influx of Christmas movies. According to Entertainment Weekly, there are 109 new Christmas and holiday movies hitting screens this year. Some of these films have already made their debut, while others are fast approaching. Furthermore, this year’s upcoming movies are in a variety of genres, from the classic Christmas romance to animated children’s films to action movies. All in all, there will be something for everyone this Christmas, and many ways to watch these wonderful movies.
6 Every Christmas Movie Coming To Theaters
Red One
As of now, one of the only Christmas movies set to premiere in movie theaters is the upcoming action holiday film, Red One. This star-studded film follows Callum Drift, an E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable) operative who must team up with a regular human tracker and con-man to find Santa Claus, who has been kidnapped just days before Christmas. Red One’s cast includes Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, J.K. Simmons, and Lucy Liu. The movie is set to be released more than a month before Christmas, on November 15, 2024.
Red One has the potential to be a major hit this Christmas due to its well-known cast and its unique concept. Over the years, countless films have given new and interesting takes on Santa and his helpers, but Red One is one of the first to merge Christmas with action. Johnson is definitely not what audiences imagine when they think of elves, but it will certainly be interesting to see how these unconventional leads can give the Christmas spirit a more action-packed edge.
