I think you can use line_shape = 'spline' to make it look smoother. Something as below:

import pandas as pd
import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.stocks()
df = df.drop('AMZN', axis = 1)
colors = px.colors.qualitative.T10

fig = px.area(df, 
                 x = 'date',
                 y = [c for c in df.columns if c != 'date'],
                 template = 'plotly_dark',
                 color_discrete_sequence = colors,
                 title = 'Stocks', line_shape='spline'
             )
fig.show()
