You can watch the different Grinch versions on several major streaming platforms, mostly centered around Peacock and digital rental stores as of the 2025 holiday season.

Main places to watch The Grinch

  • The classic 1966 animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas! is streaming on Peacock and is also available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video.
  • The 2000 live‑action How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey) is currently available to stream on Peacock , with options to rent or purchase on Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV in many regions.
  • The 2018 animated The Grinch is also available on Peacock , and can be rented on major digital stores such as Apple TV, Google Play, and Fandango at Home in markets like the U.S.

Outside the U.S. (quick notes)

  • In countries like the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, different Grinch movies may appear in local catalogs on services such as Netflix , Crave , Paramount+ , or regional Amazon Prime Video libraries.
  • Availability can change each holiday season, so checking the movie title directly inside your local streaming apps (Peacock, Netflix, Prime Video, etc.) usually gives the most precise, current answer.

If you don’t see it in your apps

  • Search the exact title (e.g., How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000 or The Grinch 2018) in:
    • Peacock
    • Amazon Prime Video
    • Apple TV / Google Play
  • If it does not appear to stream, it is almost always available as a digital rental or purchase on at least one of those stores during the Christmas period.
