Call The Midwife 2020 Christmas Special Watch Online
Okay, picture this: It's Christmas morning, the turkey's in the oven (hopefully not burned!), and you're surrounded by family. The only thing missing? That warm, fuzzy feeling of community and a healthy dose of heartwarming drama. That's right, it's time for the Call The Midwife Christmas Special!
And lucky for you, finding it online in 2020 was actually easier than finding a decent parking spot at the mall in December (which, let's be honest, is saying something!).
Finding Your Slice of Nonnatus House Cheer
Back in 2020, the BBC iPlayer was your absolute best friend. Like, better than that aunt who always gives you the perfect gift. If you were in the UK, popping onto iPlayer was as simple as making a cup of tea (essential viewing fuel, obviously!).
Must Read
Just log in, search for Call The Midwife, and bam! Sister Julienne and the gang were right there, ready to spread some festive cheer (and probably deliver a baby or two in a blizzard, because that's just how they roll).
But what if you were an ocean away, dreaming of snow-dusted Poplar from your sunny living room? Don't fret! International viewers weren't completely left out in the cold.
PBS to the Rescue!
In the US, PBS was often the answer to your prayers. Think of them as the midwives of quality British drama. They usually aired the Christmas special soon after it aired in the UK, either on television or through their online streaming platform.
It was all about keeping an eye on the PBS schedule and setting your DVR (or, you know, adding it to your watchlist online) to make sure you didn't miss a single heartwarming moment.
Now, the key here was timing. Imagine the agony of missing it and having to wait…an entire year! That’s worse than running out of mince pies on Christmas Eve!
Navigating the Online World: A Few Tips
Remember, when venturing into the online world, a dash of caution is always a good idea. Stick to official sources like BBC iPlayer or PBS. There were always sites promising free streams, but sometimes those were about as reliable as a bicycle with square wheels. And as safe.
Plus, watching from legit sources means you're supporting the show and ensuring we get more years of heartwarming stories from Nonnatus House. Consider it your Christmas gift to the midwives!
Of course, another avenue for viewing in 2020 were streaming services that offer PBS content, or even purchase the episode through platforms like Amazon Prime Video. This route meant you could watch anytime, anywhere (as long as you had an internet connection, naturally!).
Avoiding Spoilers (A Crucial Mission!)
This is vital! The internet is a minefield of spoilers. One wrong click and you could accidentally find out who delivers whose baby (and trust me, some storylines were REAL tearjerkers!).
So, proceed with caution, mute keywords on Twitter if you're feeling brave, and for goodness sake, stay away from comment sections until you've seen the episode!
I promise, that's the best gift you can give yourself. Experiencing the emotional rollercoaster of a Call the Midwife Christmas special unspoiled is priceless.
The Joy of Watching Together (Even Virtually!)
Finally, don't forget the best part of watching Call The Midwife: sharing the experience! Even if you couldn't be physically together with loved ones in 2020, you could always have a virtual watch party.
Text each other your reactions, share your theories about who's going to end up together, and generally bask in the warm glow of Sister Monica Joan's wisdom (and her cake-related antics, of course!).
Because in the end, the Call The Midwife Christmas Special is about more than just babies and bicycles. It's about community, connection, and finding joy in the simple things. And that's a message we can all use, especially around the holidays. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm suddenly feeling the need for a good cry and a cup of tea!
"Chummy is my Spirit Animal!" - Said everyone, probably.
