While adults are drinking green beer and watching basketball on St. Patrick’s Day, the kids need something to do to keep busy, too. Like, for example, watching St. Patrick’s Day movies for kids on streaming.
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 2026 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 list.
If you want to introduce your kids to the tradition of Irish music and dance that is Riverdance, then check out this Netflix animated film inspired by the famous Irish theatrical show. This charming little movie follows a young Irish boy named Keegan who journeys to a magical world full of dancing deer, after the death of his grandfather, a famed Irish dancer. Irish icon Pierce Brosnan stars as the voice of a beautiful, magical deer. Even if you’re not Irish, this movie will make you proud to be Irish.
