According to my Facebook no uk based channel has the rights to show it. It's also not on Netflix or Amazon Prime. The only way is if you have the DVD which we thankfully do Smile

I think Sky own the rights to it.

I absolutely hate it. I really don't get the fuss and I have the Xmas movie channels on 24/7 in December and watch any old shite.

Does that mean I fail at Christmas? Sad

It's on Google play, or it was when I looked.

I loathe Will Ferrell so won't be watching it, mind!

On the other hand, DC have watched The Grinch two and a half times this week. 🔫

Nope, under Christmas classics or something. Next to the bastard Grinch.

I worked this out too. Amazon and iTunes will let you download it apparently. Sky have the rights and have done this before and put it on a few days into January.

I apologise: I can't find it now. I could have sworn it was there the other day, as I spent bloody ages a few seconds moaning about it.

Watch It's A Wonderful Life instead. Funnier and nicer.

The main thing is, Muppets Christmas Carol is on Christmas Eve. So all is well with the world.
