Come the holiday season, you can never go wrong by watching a classic Christmas movie to set the mood just right. Such is the case with A Christmas Story, which is a wholesome and funny holiday movie that most can get behind. In fact, watching the movie is considered a timeless Christmas tradition by so many families! With that said, we're already planning how and when we're going to watch it this season!

With last year's announcement of the long-awaited sequel, A Christmas Story Christmas, now available for streaming on Max (formerly HBO Max), we're more excited than watch the original movie. (And if you haven't already seen the film, you'll be happy to know that the sequel includes many of the kids from the original A Christmas Story cast including Ian Petrella, Zack Ward, Scott Schwartz, and R.D. Robb all reprising their iconic roles.) But just in case you need to jog your memory, here's what you need to know about how and where to watch A Christmas Story this year.

How can I watch 'A Christmas Story' on TV?

In years past, many television networks have included A Christmas Story in their holiday programming. This year, we know that Turner Broadcasting Station will air the movie once again. Plus, they will be continuing on the tradition of hosting a whopping 24-hour marathon of A Christmas Story in December! (You know, to ensure that no one misses it!) The marathon of A Christmas Story begins on Sunday, December 24 at 8:00 p.m. EST and ends on Monday, December 25 at 8:00 p.m. EST.

Where can I stream 'A Christmas Story'?

Right now, you can only stream A Christmas Story on Amazon Prime, where you can rent the movie for $3.99 or buy it for $14.99. Last year, the film was available to stream on Max, but that is no longer the case as of 2023.

Where can I watch 'A Christmas Story Christmas,' the sequel?

You stream A Christmas Story Christmas on Max, as it premiered on the platform last year. And because the flick is a Max original, it won't be available for streaming on any other platforms. (Sorry, Netflix and Hulu fans!)
