While adults are drinking green beer at the bar today, the kids at home still need to be entertained. Thankfully, there are plenty of St. Patrick’s Day movies for kids on streaming services like Disney+, Netflix, and more in 2025.

Even though St. Patrick’s Day was traditionally a religious holiday to honor the death of the patron saint of Ireland, Saint Patrick, these days it’s become a much more light-hearted celebration of Irish culture. For kids, it means wearing green (unless you want to get pinched!), leprechaun coloring books, and, of course, St. Patrick’s Day movies.

Luckily—some might even call it the luck of the Irish—it’s easier than ever for parents to find St. Patrick’s Day movies for kids, thanks to the advent of streaming. To help you out, Decider has put together a list of kid-friendly Irish and Irish-adjacent movies available on streaming services in 2025 to get you in the proper festive spirit for this Irish holiday. From Oscar-nominated films like Wolfwalkers to Disney Channel Original Movie classics like The Luck of the Irish, there’s something for everyone on this.
