Easter Sunday has a fair amount of iconic traditions: going to church, Easter egg hunts, the arrival of the Easter bunny—there’s actually quite a lot going on this time of year.
While Easter is a major holiday all around the world, there is one thing that Easter lacks when compared to its holiday counterparts: movies.
New Christmas movies come out once a year, just about every horror movie works for Halloween, but there just aren’t any good movies to bring your family together on Easter, right? WRONG!
We embarked on an Easter movie hunt, and gathered some kid-friendly Easter films that you and your whole family can enjoy this Holy Week.
Check out our list of six movies perfect for bringing your family together on Easter Sunday:
1. It’s the Easter Beagle, Charlie Brown
Parents, you remember growing up with Charlie Brown and the whole Peanuts gang. Now your kids can too! With the recent success of the new Peanuts Movie, no one will object to this wholesome Easter classic.
2. Veggie Tales: An Easter Carol
Veggie Tales has always been a great source for teaching morality and Bible stories to kids. This movie is no different. With a whimsical Easter themed spin on the famous Charles Dickens classic, A Christmas Carol, there’s no doubt both you and your kids will enjoy this Easter special.

Everyone’s favorite prehistoric bunch is back, and this time with an Easter twist. Bring the family together this Holy Week with this brand new feature that’ll delight audiences of all ages. A great choice for you and your kids!
