5 Must-Watch Hulu Movies Perfect for New Year's Day
Here are 5 perfect movies to stream on Hulu this New Year's, ranging from romantic comedies to horror films and nostalgic classics.
New Year's Eve (2011) A star-studded ensemble film following interconnected stories in New York City on December 31st. While admittedly cheesy, this feel-good movie features Halle Berry, Zac Efron, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Bon Jovi among its impressive cast. Perfect for those seeking light holiday entertainment with a $50 million production value.
Palm Springs (2020) This clever time-loop comedy stars Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti as two wedding guests repeatedly living the same November day. Though not set on New Year's, its themes of new beginnings and breaking repetitive cycles perfectly align with the holiday spirit. The film earned Samberg two Golden Globe nominations.
New Year, New You (2018) Part of Hulu's Into the Dark series, this thriller follows a wellness influencer attending a New Year's party with former friends seeking revenge. Suki Waterhouse delivers a compelling performance in this taut 84-minute horror film that's perfect for a quick holiday watch.
Midnight Kiss (2019) Another Into the Dark entry, this groundbreaking LGBTQ horror film follows friends celebrating New Year's Eve when a killer crashes their party. Starring Scott Evans and Lukas Gage (The White Lotus), it's notable for being one of the few queer horror films on major streaming platforms.
Frosty the Snowman (1969) This beloved winter classic, featuring Jimmy Durante's iconic vocals, perfectly captures the magic of snowy days. While traditionally associated with Christmas, its winter wonderland setting makes it ideal for January viewing, especially given today's shifting weather patterns.
Each film offers a unique way to celebrate the new year, whether you're in the mood for romance, thrills, or nostalgic charm - all from the comfort of your home.
