And just in time for the holidays, there’s a new sequel ready to take family mayhem to international heights
🎬 The Family Plan 2 – Apple TV (November 21, 2025)
Mark Wahlberg is back as suburban dad Dan Morgan — who’s still juggling carpools, family dinners, and his not-so-secret past as a covert operative. In The Family Plan 2, Dan plans the perfect overseas holiday for his wife Jessica (Michelle Monaghan) and their kids, but things take a wild turn when a mysterious figure from his past (Kit Harington) resurfaces with unfinished business.
Expect globe-trotting chases, holiday hijinks, and more family banter than ever. Between teenage rebellion and high-speed getaways through Europe, The Family Plan 2 turns family bonding into a full-blown action-comedy event. And in Mark Wahlberg fashion, you know you are in for a good laugh, and you might feel a closer bond with your family! Coming November 21 to Apple TV.
💥 Yes Day – Netflix
Jennifer Garner and Edgar Ramirez bring pure parental pandemonium in this feel-good comedy about saying “yes” to everything for one day. From food fights to water balloon wars, Yes Day is a reminder that sometimes the best family memories come from letting go of control — and embracing the chaos. It’s heartwarming, hilarious, and the perfect pick for family movie night.
❤️ Instant Family – Paramount+
Another Wahlberg classic, Instant Family pairs him with Rose Byrne in a story that’s as funny as it is touching. When a couple decides to adopt three siblings, their quiet home quickly transforms into a whirlwind of laughter, meltdowns, and unforgettable moments. It’s a film that reminds us that family doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful — it just has to stick together.
👨👩👧👦 Cheaper by the Dozen – Disney+
Twelve kids. Countless messes. Infinite love. The Baker family proves that bigger really is better (and noisier). The 2022 remake of Cheaper by the Dozen brings a modern twist to the classic, highlighting a blended family dynamic filled with humor, warmth, and a healthy dose of real-life chaos. It’s relatable, refreshing, and perfect for all ages.
🤖 The Mitchells vs. The Machines – Netflix
This animated gem from the team behind Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse turns a family road trip into an epic battle to save humanity. When the Mitchells find themselves facing a robot apocalypse, their quirky personalities — and unshakable bond — become their greatest superpower. The Mitchells vs. The Machines is wildly imaginative, deeply funny, and surprisingly touching.
Each of these stories embraces the beautiful, messy truth about family life: it’s unpredictable, imperfect, and completely worth it. From daring escapes to dinner-table debates, these films remind us that chaos isn’t something to fix — it’s something to celebrate.
So this winter holiday season, gather your crew, grab some popcorn, and stream one (or all) of these family favorites. Because the best memories are made right in the middle of the madness.
