Where To Watch The How The Grinch Stole Christmas
Okay, people, gather 'round! Christmas is creeping closer (faster than you can say "roast beast"), and that means it's officially time to start thinking about the important things. Like, really important. I'm talking about figuring out where you're going to get your yearly dose of Grinchy goodness!
Because, let's face it, can you even call it Christmas without watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas at least, oh, five or six times? I didn't think so.
The Million-Dollar Question: Where’s the Grinch?
The big question, of course, is where can you find this furry green ball of holiday angst? Fear not, my friends! There are more ways to watch the Grinch than there are ornaments on a perfectly decorated (by someone else, probably) Christmas tree.
Must Read
Streaming Services: Your First Stop
First up, the land of endless entertainment: streaming services! As of today, you can usually find at least one version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas available on platforms like Peacock. You might need a subscription, but think of it as an investment in your holiday cheer.
It’s basically like buying yourself a giant candy cane, only the flavor is pure, unadulterated Grinch. Some years, other services like Hulu or Amazon Prime Video might also have it available. Check listings closer to Christmas to be sure!
The Old-Fashioned Way: Cable TV
Ah, good old cable! Remember channel surfing? Turns out, it’s still a viable option. Keep an eye on your TV listings throughout December. Chances are, networks like NBC or ABC will be airing How the Grinch Stole Christmas a few times.
Set those DVRs (if you still have one)! This is your chance to relive the thrill of waiting for your favorite Christmas special to magically appear on your screen. Plus, you can fast-forward through the commercials! (Unless you’re strangely attached to those talking snowmen.)
Rent or Buy: Grinch Forever
Want to make sure you have access to the Grinch whenever your heart desires? Then renting or buying is the way to go! Platforms like Apple TV, Google Play, and Amazon Prime Video usually offer the option to rent or purchase the digital version of the classic cartoon.
Think of it as adopting your very own digital Grinch. He might not be cuddly, but he'll definitely keep you entertained for years to come. Plus, you can watch him in July if you're feeling particularly rebellious.
The Deep Cut: Physical Media (DVD, Blu-ray)
For the true purists out there, there’s always the option of good old physical media. I’m talking DVDs and Blu-rays, baby! Dust off that DVD player (you know you still have one somewhere!), and pop in your copy of How the Grinch Stole Christmas.
This is the ultimate commitment. You own the Grinch. He's yours forever. Plus, you get the added bonus of feeling slightly nostalgic for a simpler time when streaming wasn't a thing. Bonus points if you still have the VHS tape!
A Word of Grinchy Wisdom
No matter where you choose to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas, remember the most important thing: enjoy it! Snuggle up with a blanket, grab some hot cocoa (maybe with a suspiciously Grinch-like green tint), and let the holiday cheer wash over you.
Just try not to let the Grinch steal your own Christmas spirit. Unless, of course, you're into that sort of thing. In which case, go wild!
Happy Grinch-watching, everyone! May your heart grow three sizes this holiday season!
