Hulu celebrates the Huludays with lots of Christmas movies

By

With Huluween in the rearview mirror, Hulu isn’t wasting any time getting ready for the holidays. Earlier this week, Hulu officially ushered in the Huludays with a lineup of Christmas movies that includes some genuine classics of the season, as well as some made-for-TV films with a few familiar faces.

Many of the Christmas films on Hulu are celebrating anniversaries in 2023, including our favorite Christmas action film, Die Hard, which is marking its 35th anniversary. However, Hulu will only be streaming Die Hard through November 30. The majority of the other incoming Christmas anniversary flicks will arrive on Thursday, November 23, including Four Christmases (15th anniversary),  Jack Frost (25th anniversary), and Elf (20th anniversary).

Other holiday arrivals on November 23 include National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express, and Fred Claus. Perennial favorites like both versions of Miracle on 34th Street, Adam Sandler’s Eight Crazy Nights, The Muppets Christmas Carol, The Family Stone, and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause are already streaming.

Hulu is also debuting a handful of new Christmas films this week, including A Christmas Frequency starring Denise Richards as a radio show host who may find new love during the holidays after her marriage comes to an end. Reporting For Christmas has a similar premise, as a lovelorn reporter named Mary (Tamara Feldman) is assigned to interview small town toy manufacturer Blake (Matt Trudeau). Romantic sparks inevitably fly.

Also coming this week is Every Day is Christmas, an updated version of A Christmas Carol with Toni Braxton as Alexis Taylor, a modern Scrooge who is more of a workaholic than a workplace tyrant. But the holiday spirits are going to have to teach Alexis what she’s missing out on by giving up on love. The final new addition of the week is Marry Liddle Christmas, which features Kelly Rowland as Jacquie, an entrepreneur whose desire for a “perfect Christmas” faces some daunting challenges as she reconsiders her romantic future.

Even more Christmas movies will be added to Hulu in December, with the full lineup coming in a few weeks.

3 underrated shows on Hulu you need to watch in May 2024
Dan Stevens in Legion.

Out of the major streamers, Hulu is perhaps the most well-rounded in terms of its lineup of shows and movies. Hulu may not be able to match Netflix's volume, but its originals also tend to have higher quality than its competitor's. Even the library shows on Hulu are strong, thanks in part to FX's diverse lineup of shows.

This month's picks for the three underrated shows on Hulu that you have to watch in May include FX's one and only superhero show, a documentary, and a mystery drama. Between these three shows, you'll have more than enough to binge this month.

3 great sci-fi movies on Hulu you need to watch in May 2024

The great thing about sci-fi movies on Hulu is that there's always an abundance of films in this genre from the 20th Century Fox library alone. But genre fans can't live on just Alien, Predator, or Alien vs. Predator. We need a little variety with these fantastic adventures, because there's only so many times we can watch all of the Planet of the Apes movies.

This month's picks for the three great sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in May are all from outside studios. They include Vin Diesel's favorite sci-fi franchise, a 2021 science fiction thriller starring Hugh Jackman, and an unusual sci-fi buddy comedy that goes in some very unexpected directions.

If you have to watch one Hulu show this May, stream this one
A man aims two guns in Shogun.

While it doesn't get as much love as Netflix, Hulu's library of content is every bit as rich as its competitor's. The best shows on Hulu are among the best shows you can watch anywhere, but if you're trying to narrow in on one to watch, that choice can be difficult.

If you're looking for something to binge in the month of May, Shōgun may be perfect. Adapted from a decades-old James Clavell novel of the same name and loosely based on actual Japanese history, the limited series is one of the best to come along in several years. The show, which tells the story of a British sea captain who becomes an ally to a powerful Japanese lord, is riveting from its first moment. Here are three reasons you should check it out.
