Keeping the kids entertained is no easy feat. No sooner have you set up what seems like the best game ever, they’re already fighting, bored, or asking you to play a different one.

So, if you’re desperately seeking a couple of hours where you can get something done without hearing the words ‘mum’, ‘dad’, ‘I’m bored’ or ‘I want a snack’, let us draw your attention to some of the best movies available onthe best streaming servicesthis Christmas period.

We’ve deliberately avoided recommendingall Christmas movies– as the school holidays last for two weeks at this time of year, and Christmas is only one of those days. With that in mind, here are 5 films that will see you through the entire break, while giving you a break too.

The BBC might’ve given the kids the best Christmas present of all this year, bringingWallace & Gromit back to the big screenwith a new adventure. The feature-length film,Vengeance Most Fowl, landed at 6:10pm (GMT) on Christmas Day.

Wallace has created a pre-programmed ‘smart gnome’ called Norbot, designed to help with gardening tasks and ‘gnome improvements’. As is usually the case with Wallace’s inventions though, the smart gnome isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. It appears to develop an evil mind of its own and events start to spiral out of control.

We can always count on Disney’s Pixar to deliver when it comes to keeping the kids entertained – andInside Out 2doesn’t just entertain, it teaches important lessons when it comes to emotions and growing up too.

If your kids haven’t seen the originalInside Out, then it’s worth them watching that one first. The movie animates five core emotions into cute and lovable characters (even, somehow, Anger) and focuses on how they work together – ornottogether, as is sometimes the case.

That Christmas

Similar toLove Actually,but in an animated style, it follows a series of entwined stories, covering love and loneliness, and friends and family over Christmas. Plenty goes wrong, there are a lot of turkeys (and we meana lot), and Santa naturally gets stuck in a chimney. The ending is a delight, and the kids will undoubtedly be glued to the TV for the duration.

Paddington 2

Paddington Is Back | PADDINGTON 2 Official Trailer - YouTubeWatch On

Paddington Is Back | PADDINGTON 2 Official Trailer - YouTube

You really can’t beat the brown bear in the red hat, andPaddington 2is just brilliant. There is the originalPaddingtonto consider too, of course, so we’re giving you two for one again here – and ahead of the third instalment,Paddington in Peru,coming to streaming presumably in 2025.

Paddington 2is a must-watch for both kids and adults. It sees our favourite bear getting a job to save enough money to buy a book for Aunt Lucy from Mr Gruber’s antique store – only for that book to be stolen.

Paddington is mistaken as the culprit, which lands him – and the marmalade sandwich under his hat – in jail. Even the toughest criminals can’t resist his charm and innocence, however, and before you know it Paddington has made the unlikeliest of pals. It’s the perfect watch – and netted a stellar99% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoestoo.

Angry Birds 2

Angry Birds might have started out as a game on yourphone, but it’s so much more than that these days. The second film –Angry Birds 2: The Movie– came out in 2019, and with a third film due to be released, it seems only right to catch up on what the birds and pigs have been up to.

There’s a new ice-covered island and someveryangry birds – yes, angrier than the other birds – who are hatching a plan to use a weapon to destroy the current homes of the less angry birds and pigs.

The smartest and best angry birds and pigs come up with a plan to infiltrate the new island and eliminate the weapon to make sure they can continue living happily. It’s good fun – and for the adults watching it’s a great nostalgic watch too.
