The holidays are here, and whether you’re hosting a family movie night, streaming solo with a cozy blanket or gathering friends together, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of high-quality 4K screen resolution and ultra-fast internet. At Mercury Fiber, we believe it’s not just about what you watch—it’s about how you watch. Let’s dive into the best holiday picks for 2025 and why fiber internet makes all the difference.
Our Top Movie & Show Picks to Stream in 4K
It was a tall task to narrow it down, since streaming platforms are fully stocked with holiday content this season—more than 90 new films alone in 2025 across services. New and old, here are our top picks:
- A Christmas Story (1983): Iconic for the leg lamps, turkey dinners and childhood memories
- A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965): A childhood classic that withstands the test of time
- Christmas Vacation (1989): Hilarious plot, perfect for the entire family
- Jingle Bell Heist (2025): New release about a Christmas Eve heist
- My Secret Santa (2025): Another new entry set in a ski resort, a perfect family-friendly option
- Die Hard (1988): Controversial take, but the Christmas setting makes this a perfect action-packed holiday classic
Why 4K & Fiber Internet Matter
Streaming holiday favorites requires more than just pressing play. If your network isn’t optimized, you may be dealing with buffering, pixelation or other forms of lag that ruin your 4K experience. Here is how Mercury changes the game:
Reliable Speed for 4K Content
4K streaming requires a higher sustained bandwidth. Often approximately 15 – 25 Mbps per stream, or more if you have multiple active devices.
Better for Multiple Devices
The holiday season usually means a full house. Smart TVs, gaming consoles, tablets, phones, smart home devices and more working at the same time can create noticeable network strain. Fiber mitigates or even eliminates this problem.
Reduced Latency
Buffering pulls you out of the moment. Fiber’s low latency, provided by symmetric upload and download speeds, allows for a smooth and uninterrupted viewing experience. This is especially important for 4K streaming and on larger screens.
Built for More Than Just Movies
Fiber internet is the perfect solution for homes that need high bandwidth. Video calls, remote working, gaming and smart home devices all draw benefits from fiber connections.
