FREE Christmas Movies on Amazon Prime

We love FREE Christmas movies on Amazon Prime Instant Video!

I always have to watch Christmas movies this time of year! Are you wondering what Christmas movies are free on Prime?

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can take advantage of a good selection of free Christmas movies available on Prime Video!

Please note that at the time of our post we found these to be free on Prime. However, this can change at any time, without warning.

This means when you search for the movies below to Amazon.com, you might find that these selections are no longer free to watch. Free Christmas movies with Amazon Prime rotate from time to time.

I included the times for each movie in case you want to put something on for the kiddos but you only have a limited amount of time.
