14 Cozy Winter Movies To Watch With Your Family

There have been a few different movie editions of Little Women, but none of them are quite as lovely for winter as Little Women (1994). So many gorgeous scenes of the March sisters in winter! It’s just the ultimate cozy, hunker-down-with-your-family kind of film.

You can stream Little Women on Apple TV, Fandango, and Prime Video.

It may be animated, but Anastasia is a beautiful winter movie, with lots of sweet scenes set in the snow. The story of the missing Russian princess may not get history totally right, but it’s still a gorgeous movie to watch with your family — and then you can dive into the real history behind the movie.

You can stream Anastasia on Roku Channel, Disney+, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

There are a few versions of Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe, but all of them are centered around perfect snowy scenes. “Always winter, never Christmas,” as they say. Watching the Pevensie children work with Aslan to defeat the white witch is an extremely cozy scene, and if your family hasn’t watched this together, it’s the perfect winter movie.

So many gorgeous winter scenes in Harry Potter, it’s hard to choose just one. But I think Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban might be my favorite for all of those lovely, snowy Hogsmeade scenes.

You can stream Harry Potter on HBO Max and Peacock.

I adore Fly Away Home, and it always feels like the ultimate fall and winter movie. The story of a young girl losing her mother and going to live with her father is enough to pull at your heart, but then she finds a bunch of baby geese and has to teach them to fly south for the winter because they now know her as their mother. So heartwarming and lovely, it’ll absolutely make you cry.

You can stream Fly Away Home on Tubi, The Roku Channel, and Prime Video.

If you feel like you just watched Baby Boom as a fall movie, I know. But it totally counts as a great cozy winter movie, too. And nothing makes a character feel more relatable than watching them deal with house repairs during the coldest months of the year. Diane Keaton absolutely shines in this movie, and it’s such a gorgeous story.

You can stream Baby Boom on Tubi, Pluto TV, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

No movie makes me want to snuggle under a blanket more than Edward Scissorhands. While this movie has a few seasons shown in it, the winter scenes are really some of the most memorable, and that dark, cold castle will make you want to get super cozy.

You can stream Edward Scissorhands on Disney+ and Hulu.

This one may be a little less family-friendly, but it’s still a fine one to watch with older kids — and it doesn’t get much more winter-themed than Groundhog Day. This classic comedy will have your whole family doing bits, and you’ll never step into an icy puddle again without thinking of Bill Murray.

You can stream Groundhog Day on Netflix, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

Another film that spans several seasons, no one can deny how beautiful the snowy scenes are in A Little Princess — it really sets the tone for the more somber parts of the movie. It’s just such a sweet, soft one to watch with your family.

You can stream A Little Princess on Prime Video, Fandango, and Apple TV.

Don’t you dare call this one a stretch — the fact that Belle and the Beast really fall in love while there’s a perfect winter storm happening outside the castle? Pure bliss. Beauty and the Beast goes through a few seasons, but the wintertime in the story is so beautiful, it absolutely counts as a cozy winter movie.

You can stream Beauty and the Beast on Disney+.

Technically this one is a short, and yes, techically, it’s Christmas-y because it happens on Christmas Eve, but watching one of the best winter books come to life in The Snowy Day is so worth it. This is the ultimate cozy, soft, happy little short to watch for all the winter vibes, and the animation will just transport you.

You can stream The Snowy Day on Prime Video.

OK, so most of Hook does take place in Neverland, but you just can’t deny how gorgeous those wintry scenes are in London. Hook is a masterpiece, and such a great cozy winter movie to watch with the whole family.

You can stream Hook on Pluto TV, Prime Video, and Apple TV.

While the overwhelming theme of The Mighty Ducks isn’t necessarily winter, there are still plenty of winter scenes in this fun sports movie, and you really can’t get much cozier than hockey and ice skating.

You can stream The Mighty Ducks on Disney+.

This ‘90s classic is based on the book by the same name, and if it’s been a while since you’ve watched White Fang, prepare for a treat. Starring Ethan Hawke, the story is about a young man in Alaska trying to befriend a hybrid wolf-dog and creating a deep friendship. You will, of course, cry, but it’s worth it for the sweet ending.

You can stream White Fang on Disney+.
