As the holiday season approaches, Apple TV+ has released a variety of festive titles to get you in the spirit. Among these, Spirited stands out as a modern-day Christmas classic. This holiday musical comedy stars Ryan Reynolds and Will Ferrell in a fresh twist on Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. Even if you think you’ve seen one too many Scrooge movies, Spirited is well worth your time.
Spirited tells the story of Clint Briggs (Ryan Reynolds), a dark soul who is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Present (Will Ferrell) on Christmas Eve. However, Briggs turns the tables on his ghostly host, leading Present to reexamine his own past, present, and future. The movie features great music, courtesy of the duo behind La La Land and The Greatest Showman.
If you’re not a fan of musicals, Spirited might not be for you. However, the music is especially great, and the movie is available now exclusively for Apple TV+ subscribers.
In addition to Spirited, Apple TV+ has also released Ted Lasso: The Missing Christmas Mustache, a fun claymation short. This stop-motion short, featuring the voice talents of the beloved ensemble cast, is less than five minutes long but is a great way to celebrate the Christmas tradition of claymation classics like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Ted Lasso: The Missing Christmas Mustache is available for free on YouTube, so you don’t even need a TV+ subscription.
Finally, Apple TV+ has also made A Charlie Brown Christmas, a classic TV special, available to subscribers. This beloved Peanuts special tells the story of Charlie Brown’s efforts to find the true meaning of Christmas, despite his friends’ preference for dancing over acting.
Whether you’re a fan of musicals, claymation, or classic TV specials, Apple TV+ has something for everyone this holiday season. So grab some hot cocoa, cozy up with your loved ones, and enjoy these festive titles.
