Bah, Grinch Day! Where to Watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas in 2024

Welcome Christmas with How the Grinch Stole Christmas cartoon, the live-action movie, and the animated movie.

Mr. Grinch may be a mean one, but the green grouch is as much a holiday staple as bingle balls and whofoo fluff. Every year since How the Grinch Stole Christmas! was published in 1957, Dr. Seuss’ curmudgeonly creation has stood on snowy Mount Crumpet hating the Whos down in Whoville and the crass commercialization of Christmas. And every year, the grumpy Grinch schemes to haul away the holidays — only for a small Who named Cindy Lou Who to inspire his change of heart (a change of three sizes, in fact). And so there are three versions of The Grinch to welcome Christmas and bring cheer to all Whos far and near.
