Is The Grinch Coming Back To Netflix 2021

The holidays are coming! That means one very important question looms large.

Will that mean that we will get to see The Grinch back on Netflix again?

The Grinch's Netflix Vacation: A Love Story?

Ah, The Grinch. That fuzzy green guy who stole Christmas (almost). We all know him and (secretly?) love him.

He's a holiday staple, right up there with eggnog and awkward family dinners.

But here's the thing: Netflix and The Grinch have a complicated relationship. It’s like a holiday romance, on and off every year.

The Great Grinch Netflix Disappearance

One year, he's there, ready to steal your heart (and your presents). The next? He’s vanished! Poof!

It's enough to make you want to shout "Bah Humbug!" at your streaming device.

So, the big question: Is 2024 the year of the Grinch's triumphant return to Netflix? The answer is a resounding...maybe. It is already December, and no sight of the Grinch yet!

The Streaming Wars and the Grinch

Here's my (slightly unpopular) opinion: The whole “exclusive streaming rights” thing is a bit Grinch-y itself.

Companies snatching up movies and shows and keeping them locked away? That feels like stealing Christmas joy, doesn’t it?

We just want to watch The Grinch in our pajamas! Is that too much to ask? Okay, maybe it is.

Why We Need the Grinch Back

But seriously, The Grinch isn't just a movie. He's a mood.

He embodies the pre-holiday stress we all feel. The pressure to buy the perfect gifts, decorate everything, and be sickeningly cheerful.

The Grinch gets it. He’s our spirit animal (or, you know, spirit monster).

And let's be honest, watching him transform from a grumpy grouch to a (slightly) less grumpy guy is heartwarming. It is a message we need now more than ever.

The Unpopular Opinion

Now, here’s where I might lose some of you. Are you ready for my completely unnecessary and somewhat bold statement?

I think the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch is... better. There, I said it.

Don't get me wrong, the original animated version is a classic. I love it. But Carrey’s Grinch? He's got that extra layer of manic energy that just captures the holiday madness perfectly.

Also, Max is the best dog sidekick ever. Fight me.

Anyway, back to Netflix. Whether it's the animated Grinch, the live-action Grinch, or even that new animated Grinch… we just want a Grinch!

So, Will He Be Back?

Sadly, I don't have a magic crystal ball (or a direct line to Netflix's programming department).

The truth is, the Grinch's Netflix availability is a mystery every year.

Keep an eye on the "New on Netflix" lists as December progresses. Maybe, just maybe, our green friend will surprise us.

In the meantime, let's all channel our inner Grinch. Embrace the chaos, avoid the crowds, and remember to breathe.

And if The Grinch doesn't show up on Netflix? Well, there's always YouTube. Or stealing your neighbor's cable password. (Just kidding! Don't do that.)

Happy (almost) Holidays! May your days be merry and bright, and may your streaming queues be filled with at least some holiday cheer, Grinch or no Grinch.
