The steady drumbeat of Disney+'s competitive spirit with the de facto streaming giant, Netflix, continues to grow. But while Disney still has a bit of work to do to challenge Netflix on the front of original storytelling, they might already possess an advantage when it comes to Christmas movies, specials, and episodes of The Simpsons.
In fact, the wide catalog of Christmas films on Disney+ might seem daunting and overwhelming upon first glance. For users who might be stuck and uncertain of what they should watch, it's quite easy to refer to the signs of the Zodiac instead.
12 Aries: Godmothered (2020)
One of the pure hallmarks of the Aries figures in the world is their eagerness. When one is an Aries, they tend to be eager to please.
This is an accurate description for Disney+'s latest Christmas movie and recent original story, Godmothered. It's eager to be like Elf and it's eager to be like Enchanted. Most of all, it's just eager to be liked and Aries will be certainly drawn to that.
11 Taurus: While You Were Sleeping (1995)
For Tauruses, they tend to seek Christmas movies that have touches of sweetness to them, but are also creative with a different look at the holiday. While You Were Sleeping embodies these elements to a great extent!
It's a very unique premise for a rom-com and, set during the holidays, it showcases that creativity even more. Starring dependable rom-com lead Sandra Bullock, Tauruses will be pleased with this underrated classic.
10 Gemini: Noelle (2019)
Disney+'s first foray into an original film was Noelle, a Christmas comedy starring Anna Kendrick and Bill Hader. As a movie, it is curious, but also profoundly expressive and it delivers on the Christmas aesthetic mightily.
Geminis will love Noelle because of these exact traits. On top of all that, Geminis love a Christmas movie with kindness and there are very few traces of cynicism in Noelle.
9 Cancer: Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992)
When Cancers cozy up for a Christmas movie to make them feel like they're in the throes of the holiday season, they want one that prioritizes compassion, protection, and sentiment. After all, these are hallmarks of the Cancer sign.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York is a perfect avenue for these highly sought-after feelings. It's a predictable, formulaic film, but that's what makes it so comforting for Cancers. Throw in characters who care about doing the right thing and it's a surefire winner.
8 Leo: Home Alone (1990)
Moving back in time a bit, the first Home Alone remains one of the pinnacles of the genre and an all-time favorite film of many, regardless of what time of year they watch it at. It's attained this reputation by virtue of its self-assured premise and outgoing setpieces.
Leos will love the fiery attitude that the original Home Alone has. Kevin treats Marv and Harry with unbridled ferocity and it goes a long way towards situating itself in the hearts of Leos.
7 Virgo: A Christmas Carol (2009)
Robert Zemeckis' take on the classic Dickens tale, A Christmas Carol, does occupy the uncanny valley. However, it also remains slavishly devoted to the original text, albeit in a family-friendly capacity.
This element of loyalty also contributes to the idea that viewers know exactly what to expect from this 2009 entrant into the genre. As such, it's a perfect watch if one is a Virgo.
6 Libra: The Nutcracker And The Four Realms (2018)
Born between late September and late October, Libras embrace the qualities of sociability and diplomacy. By its very nature of emulating the best of ballet, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms represents this level of grace inhabited by Libras.
While the back-half of the film is truly bizarre, Keira Knightley represents the aspects of a holiday film Libras will be most drawn to.
5 Scorpio: The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993)
Is it a Christmas movie? Is it a Halloween movie? Is there any more tired debate about a film's identity this side of Die Hard? Perhaps not. Rest assured, though, that Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas is a film of great passion and courage.
It's a heartfelt tale with tons of silly spooks that balance the humor with the macabre. Tim Burton has always been a master of this and his passion project will appeal to Scorpios, who just want to see a Christmas movie where the filmmakers cared about the end result.
4 Sagittarius: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
In recent years, The Muppet Christmas Carol has belatedly and deservedly earned a reputation as one of the greatest holiday films ever made. The Jim Carrey version is solid for Dickens loyalists, but this Michael Caine rendition is perfect for those who crave silliness and musicality.
There is so much hope, love, and humor in The Muppet Christmas Carol. Because of this, it's irresistible to those born under the sign of Sagittarius. There's nothing Sagittarius representatives love more than an optimistic holiday film.
3 Capricorn: Babes In Toyland (1961)
One of the vintage Disney Christmas movies of yore is Babes in Toyland from 1961. Presented in glorious Technicolor, it's also responsible for bringing the toy soldiers into Disney's Christmas parades at the parks.
The reason why Capricorns will dig Babes in Toyland is because of how tenacious it is. Capricorns reflect tenacity within them and they will appreciate how singular a story this movie is determined to tell.
2 Aquarius: The Santa Clause (1994)
The rules of The Santa Clause are truly gripping. Santas die, the elves seem not to care, Mrs. Claus goes entirely unnoticed. One even wonders if it's all a dream, based on the waitress and elf at the outset of the film both being named Judy.
Yet, it's this uncompromising world-building and lore that will be so appealing to an Aquarius. This Zodiac sign is also known for building imaginative worlds, after all.
1 Pisces: Miracle On 34th Street (1947)
Lastly, one of the most classic Christmas movies on Disney+ is the original Miracle on 34th Street. It's a heartwarming tale that prioritizes art and love over reason and logic.
Considering that those born under the sign of Pisces are well-known for their empathy and affection, Miracle on 34th Street is the perfect movie for them. Their hearts will not know true soaring until they witness the end sequence of the film.
