Christmas mystery movies, including two films with one title
A Christmas Mystery is not one film. The table keeps 2022 and 2014 apart, and it does not fold in the 2025 title A Christmas Murder Mystery.

2022 and 2014 are different movies
A Christmas Mystery (2022) is the HBO Max family film directed by Alex Ranarivelo, 87 minutes on TMDB, PG. Violet McGraw plays Violet Pierce, a child trying to clear her friend's father, who is accused of stealing the town's jingle bells. Warner Bros. lists the US date as 23 Nov 2022. TMDB lists 24 Nov 2022. I am printing both. The story is set in Oregon and Warner Bros. says it was filmed in Oregon. The Petaluma News reported a street closure for filming in Petaluma during the week of 13 June 2022. Those location claims conflict, so both stay.
A Christmas Mystery (2014) is an ION television film directed by Peter Sullivan, 90 minutes. Rating labels differ: Rotten Tomatoes says TV-PG while Tubi says TV-14. Esmé Bianco plays Rebecca Clark, who finds twelve sealed cards addressed to her late mother and hires a detective. Release date on the record used here is 30 Nov 2014. A US Tubi listing exists; region and availability can change.
Do not merge these with the murder title
A Christmas Murder Mystery (2025) is a different UPtv film with conflicting runtimes (85 minutes on Plex and Prime Video; 90 on Apple TV), with Morgan Bradley as a puzzle editor. Merry Mystery Christmas is a 2023 Canadian TV movie that Great American Family scheduled in the US for 8 Nov 2025 under the name A Very Curious Christmas. The Christmas Mystery in Lilleby is the 2007 Norwegian film Julemysteriet i Lilleby, 70 minutes. The Christmas Secret (2014) is a Hallmark romance about a lost locket, listed so the titles do not collapse.
A horror-leaning list is separate: Christmas horror and scary mystery films. Books are on the book table.
