Feel that chill in the air? Fall is here, which means it's nearly Halloween, which is basically Thanksgiving, so it's practically the holiday season already.

Where does the time go? If you can't wait to start trimming your tree, putting up twinkly lights, and jamming to Jingle Bell Rock, you're probably ready to curl up with a cup of hot cocoa and watching your favorite Christmas movies. There's a ton of holiday content to stream, so you might as well get started now to get it all in before it's New Year's Day before you know it.

We've rounded up the best holiday offerings on Hulu to help you cut down on tedious decision making so you can get down to that warm and fuzzy, feel good, deck-the-halls Christmas movie binging.

Don't have Hulu yet? We've got you covered. While a Hulu Basic subscription might serve you ads, it's by far the cheapest streaming service on the market at just $5.99 a month. Since I can't stand ads, I recommend upgrading to Hulu Premium, so you can stream uninterrupted. It's a bit of a price jump at $12.99 a month, but I've never regretted it. If you're still not sure which level of service is right for you, check out this complete price breakdown of everything Hulu has to offer. Once you're ready to get streaming, sign up for Hulu here.
