Where To Watch ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ and ‘The Grinch’ Online and on TV

If you’re wondering where you can stream your favorite holiday movies, you’ve come to the right place.

HBO Max and Hulu both have National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express, and A Christmas Story, while Hulu is also the home of Home Alone, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, A Very Jonas Christmas Movie, and Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause. Prime Video is the place to be if you want to watch the holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life, while Apple TV has A Charlie Brown Christmas.

What about Peacock, you ask? The streamer currently hosts the 1970s movie Santa Claus is Coming to Town, 1969’s Frosty the Snowman, and, you guessed it, the 1966 fan favorite How the Grinch Stole Christmas!

Directed by Chuck Jones, the 25-minute classic centers on that grouchy Grinch attempting to ruin the joy of the holiday season by, as the title suggests, literally stealing Christmas.
