There's an ongoing list of holiday films that never gets old no matter how long ago they were made and one of those films is A Christmas Story. Between the holiday shenanigans, all the hoops that little Ralphie Parker has to jump through to make it to Christmas Day, and the hilarious gift of a leg lamp, we can all relate to the holiday chaos in one way or another.

The 80s film based on a book by Jean Shepherd tells the tale of a 9-year-old boy, Ralphie Parker, who wants nothing more than a Red Ryder air rifle for Christmas (not quite what we asked for when growing up, but to each their own).

With HBO Max's premiere of the long-awaited sequel and the return of several original cast members, we've got a major case of nostalgia that can only be cured by taking a trip down memory lane with the original Christmas movie. If you're anything like us or just need another flick to add to the Christmas flick marathon, here's all you need to know about how to watch and stream A Christmas Story.
