Hulu celebrates the Huludays with lots of Christmas movies

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.

If you have to watch one Hulu movie in April 2024, stream this one
A man stops a police car in The Runaway Jury.

Now that April has arrived, Hulu has welcomed new movies into its library, including the Ocean's Eleven trilogy, The Fifth Element, and a modern classic, The Big Lebowski. Even superhero fans are well-served this month with X2: X-Men United, Hellboy, Wonder Woman, and both of the Shazam! movies. But as a Hulu subscriber of several years, my pick for the one movie that you need to stream on Hulu this month is Runaway Jury.

Runaway Jury is a legal thriller with a stellar cast including Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, John Cusack, Rachel Weisz, and even some very familiar faces among the jury like Jennifer Beals, Luis Guzmán, and Nora Dunn. The film also celebrated its 20th anniversary last year with little fanfare, but it's still enjoyable over two decades since its 2003 release. And if you're on the fence about picking this flick for your next movie night, then we've got five reasons you should watch Runaway Jury on Hulu in April.

Everything leaving Hulu in April 2024
The cast of Ghostbusters.

Hulu subscribers should be glad to hear that there aren't that many movies leaving at the end of April. Content churn is a way of life in the streaming age, but any month where the new arrivals outweigh the departures has to be considered a win.

Of course, the downside of that arrangement is that somebody's favorites are inevitably going to be among the films that are going out the door. For example, Hulu will soon have to say goodbye to Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters II, Pacific Rim, Blade Runner 2049, Stand By Me, and more. There are only 30 days in April, but you still have the full calendar to find the time to watch these flicks. In the meantime, check out the full list of everything leaving Hulu in April 2024. Our favorite picks for the month are in bold.
