The Christmas TV season has finally kicked off – and that means there are lots of movies to be watched and enjoyed.
RTE, TG4 and Virgin Media Television have released their movie schedules for the next two weeks and there is something for everyone – including classic Christmas flicks, much-loved rom-coms, thrillers and action-packed blockbusters.
Thankfully, we have compiled a list of every single movie that will be shown on Irish television between now and Friday January 3 so you don’t have to.
So crack open a selection box and get comfy on the sofa – here is your Christmas movie guide for 2025.
