30+ Free Snow Day Movies for Families to Stream

Are you stuck at home with the kids on a snow day? We have pulled together a list of the best snow days movies for families to stream on a Snow Day. We focused our list on snow movies for kids that stream free with various subscriptions.

We searched through the list at Disney+, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount+, and Apple TV+ to find snow day movie streaming options. I also flipped through my Xfinity account and found a few that stream on various networks.

Curl up with a good winter movie and skip the cold weather outside. Then, head outside to explore the winter wonderland outside your door.

Disney+ Movies to Watch on a Snow Day

In my searches I found Disney+ to have the most winter or snow themed movies.

Of course we’ll start with the obvious movie – Frozen and various shorts associated with it. Frozen 2 is also available.

Star Wars is a big part of Disney+ and Empire Strikes Back with its opening scenes on Hoth are a natural fit.

The Mighty Ducks with its sequels and Disney+ series Game Changers are all great choices.

It’s not a Winter Olympic year, but there are two great Winter Olympic themed movies. Miracle about the 1980 US Miracle on Ice Hockey Team and Cool Runnings about the Jamaican bobsled team.

A more recent addition to Disney+ is the Ice Age series.

I was very disappointed in the movie options I found on Netflix.

Movies:

  • Arctic Dogs

TV Series

  • Zero Chill (figure skating/hockey, TV-G)
  • White Fang Netflix Original animated show.
  • Spinning Out (Ice skating/hockey, TV-MA)

Other Snow Day Movie Sources

If you can’t find the movie you want a free streaming service, many can be purchased digitally through iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, and even your cable provider.

We have plenty of movies that we collected in the years before streaming. As our daughter gets older, we need to keep checking for movies she is now old enough to be introduced to.

The library has a great selection of DVDs and BluRays available. With a little planning ahead, you can have plenty of movies to watch.
