Here we are, the final stretch before Christmas, the last weekend and last Sunday of Advent. Between now and the 24th, the anticipation of children (and adults) will increase until the famous man with the white beard visits.
And then, for many, this time is a time to take a break from loved ones, with the possibility of having fun and having fun together: board games, discussions, good meals, video games, music, dance, television, films and series. . Precisely, if television knew (and perhaps still knows) how to get in tune with Christmas, this is also the case for video streaming services like Netflix, Disney+ or Apple TV+.
As proof, our selection ofquality Christmas content to be found on the Apple platform. There is something for little ones, but also for adults!
Charlie Brown celebrates Christmas: for the youngest
The little character created in the last century is enjoying some success on Apple TV+, throughout the year, but also during this end-of-year holiday season, with several Christmas-themed content. Be careful, these films may seem a little dated visually. But if the form is aging, the substance remains as relevant as ever. Enough to have a good time with the children of the family gathered around the tree. Most Charlie Brown films also last an acceptable time for a young audience (generally less than thirty minutes). See in particular:
As well as :
- It's Christmas Again, Charlie Brown
- A dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown
- Charlie Brown's Christmas Stories
And for the end of the year:
The shows
Mariah Carey, unbeatable
Mariah Carey is probably the most popular singer at the end of each year thanks to her many hit Christmas-themed songs. She also recorded a big show for Apple TV+ in 2020, with dancing, songs and many guests to amaze you.
And for more Mariah Carey singing and dancing Christmas:
Hannah Waddingham
The other big figure on Apple TV+ for the holidays, more recently, is Hannah Waddingham, who we could see in Ted Lasso, but also as a presenter of Eurovision. She excels as a mistress of ceremonies in the exclusive Christmas showHome for Christmas. She sings, dances and welcomes several guests brilliantly, for a little less than an hour. Something to set the mood at home, that's for sure!
Carpool Karaoke Christmas Special 2024
For Christmas this year, Carpool Karaoke is creating a unique episode of its kind. Zane (headline figure of Apple Music), takes Dua Lip, Lady Gaga and Chappell Roan for a car ride, in song, of course. As a result, you are entitled to numerous Christmas songs sung in karaoke by these three stars of today's music industry. A treat!
Christmas movies
In the Apple TV+ catalog you can find several exclusive, quality Christmas films, in different styles and for different audiences. Including the following:
Spirited
This musical comedy released in 2022 is carried by Will Ferrel, Octavia Spencer and Ryan Reynolds. It tells the story of Mr. Scrooge receiving a surprising visit from 4 ghosts at the Christmas tree. The American humor hits the mark here and the casting gives it their all, which is appreciable.
The Velveteen Rabbit
One of our favorite new Apple TV+ 2023 features. It takes up the story of the famous British account of the same name: a little stuffed rabbit comes to life alongside his human friend Max. A touching film, less than 50 minutes long, to watch with the family.
Moreover, if you are looking for other content to keep the children occupied, we also recommend the superb animated film produced by Apple, awarded an Oscar,The child, the mole, the fox and the horse. The latter is not themed around Christmas, but is under the snow. It is also based on strong subjects such as friendship, sharing, family and home.
The Christmas UFO by Becky Read
The Battle of Christmasis an incredible film. It tells the true story of a man, Jeremy Morris, who will do anything to organize the biggest Christmas party in his neighborhood. Enough to trigger, despite initial good intentions, a real war between neighbors. Please note, 1- it is a documentary, 2- intended more for an adult audience.
Christmas in the series
In series, Christmas has the gift of making certain episodes very special. Here are some references to episodes of flagship Apple TV+ series taking place during the holiday season:
- Ted Lasso: The Choir at Work (episode 4 of season 2)
- Mythic Quest: The two Jos (episode 4 of season 3)
- The Snoopy Show: Happiness is the pleasure of giving (episode 13 of season 2)
