If you own one of the best Samsung TVs then you have access to Samsung TV Plus. This free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service offers loads of shows and movies all year round, and Samsung is feeling extra generous ahead of the holidays with a slew of seasonal-themed content being added over the next couple of weeks. 

First up the bad news: you won’t find any classic Christmas movies here. To watch the likes of Home Alone, Elf and Die Hard (yes, it’s a Christmas movie) you’ll need access to some of the best streaming services. However, Samsung TV Plus is adding a range of picks including movies from channels such as Lifetime and Hallmark. 

There’s also a selection of holiday shows featuring beloved late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and more recognizable faces. There's even a free-to-watch TV channel dedicated solely to a 4K video of a log-burning fireplace. Ideal for setting the mood during your festive gatherings with loved ones. 

There are plenty of free streaming service options this winter, so let’s dive into what you can access if you decide to go with Samsung TV Plus. Here are all the movies and shows you can watch over the next few weeks as we build up to Christmas Day.
