It's the holiday season, which means it's time for everyone's favorite cranky character to descend upon Whoville.

Dr. Seuss' 1957 book "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!" shares the story of the Grinch, a mean-spirited anti-hero who attempts to ruin Christmas in the town of Whoville before feeling the true spirit of the holiday. After this, in the iconic words of Dr. Seuss, "Well, in Whoville they say – that the Grinch's small heart grew three sizes that day."

Three movie adaptions have followed the Dr. Seuss novel: the 1966 cartoon, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!"; the 2000 live-action, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" starring Jim Carrey and, most recently, the 2018 animation, "The Grinch."

Here's where to watch these three adaptations of Dr. Seuss' classic Christmas tale.
