where to watch grinch
You can watch different Grinch movies on several major streaming platforms in 2025, but availability depends on which version you want and where you live.
Main ways to watch
- The classic 1966 cartoon How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is streaming on Peacock and is also available as an add‑on through services like Hulu, Sling TV, and Amazon Prime Video in many regions.
- The 2000 live‑action How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey) is available on Netflix in the U.K., Australia, and New Zealand, and can also be rented or bought on services like Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and YouTube Movies.
- The 2018 animated The Grinch is streaming on Peacock in the U.S. and on platforms like Crave (Canada), Paramount+ and BINGE (Australia), and also appears on Netflix or Amazon Prime Video libraries in countries such as the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
Live TV and seasonal airings
- Around December, the Grinch specials and movies often air on channels like Freeform, TBS, and NBC on various dates, so a live‑TV streaming service or cable package that includes those channels is another option.
If it’s not in your country
- If a specific Grinch movie is not available in your local streaming catalog, many viewers use standard digital stores (Amazon, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, YouTube Movies) to rent or buy it.
- Some online guides suggest using a VPN to connect to regions where Netflix or other platforms do carry the Grinch films, then logging into your existing account from there.
