Here's how to kick off your Huluday season.

As the holidays approach, streaming services have been busy decking the halls with Christmas movies old and new.

If you're a Hulu user, the platform has a number of classic films that are just begging to be revisited.

Watch First

Hurry up to catch these two iconic movies leaving Hulu at the end of the month.

  • Die Hard (1988) - The perfect way to start the holiday season is with Bruce Willis and Alan Rickman's legendary movie. Especially since it celebrates its 35th anniversary this year and is only streaming on Hulu until November 30.
  • The Holiday (2006) - The second classic film streaming on Hulu until November 30th is the Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz starrer The Holiday, which follows an American and a British who swap homes for the Christmas break.

Always Available

  • Eight Crazy Nights (2002) - Adam Sandler lends his voice to the protagonist of this animated Hanukkah musical, which follows an alcoholic with a criminal record who embarks on a journey of reformation thanks to the miracle of the holiday season.
  • Deck The Halls (2006) - Christmas competition between two neighbors (Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito) goes too far.
  • Miracle On 34th Street (1947) - The true Christmas classic follows Kris Kringle, a department store Santa who everyone believes is an actor while he claims to be the real Santa.
  • Miracle On 34th Street (1994) - The remake of the classic story features a new version of Kris Kringle, who is hired to play Santa in a giant department store chain and claims to be the real deal.
