where can i stream rudolph the red nosed reindeer

You can stream “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” this season mainly through a mix of free (ad-supported) services and digital purchase platforms, rather than the big subscription streamers like Netflix or Hulu.

Where you can stream it

  • Free (with ads) on services like Tubi and Pluto TV, which rotate classic holiday titles including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in their seasonal hubs.
  • Digital purchase on:
    • Amazon Prime Video (buy, not included with membership, typically around $9.99).
* Apple TV / Apple TV app as a digital buy.
* Google Play / YouTube Movies as a digital buy.

These options may shift slightly year to year, but lately the pattern has been: not included “for free” in major subscription libraries, but widely available to buy and often featured on free, ad-supported channels during the holidays.

Watching on live TV

  • The special has recently aired on NBC in early December, and also appears in Freeform’s “25 Days of Christmas” schedule, so you can catch it live or via each network’s site/app if it’s in season.
  • If you use a live-TV streaming bundle (YouTube TV, Hulu Live, Sling, etc.), check their NBC and Freeform listings in December for current air times.

Quick tips before you hit play

  • Search directly inside Tubi or Pluto TV for “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” in December; free holiday hubs tend to promote it prominently.
  • If you prefer owning it, buying once on Amazon, Apple, or Google Play lets you rewatch every Christmas without chasing rights changes.
