Claim your spot on the couch, stat: Lifetime's Christmas movies are finally here, giving us 30 brand-new releases led by fan favorites including Melissa Joan Hart, Kelly Rowland, and several actors from One Tree Hill. The "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" 2019 lineup is impressive — record-breaking, actually — so, let's just say, that you won't want to miss any of it. Luckily, even if you pulled the cable plug, there are several ways to watch and stream Lifetime movies during the Christmas season and beyond.
How to Watch Lifetime Movies Online
Good news: You can survive winter (a.k.a. peak hibernation season) without cable. There are several streaming options that you can connect to roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, or any supported device. Compare the prices and offerings of the following streaming services that all carry Lifetime:
Philo: At a flat rate of $20 a month, get 58 channels including Lifetime and Lifetime Movies Network. Get the most out of "It's a Wonderful Lifetime" by getting a free seven-day trial.
Sling TV: For $15 a month, choose between the Sling Orange Service for 30 channels, and Sling Blue Service for 45 channels, or opt for a combination of the two for $25 a month. An added bonus: You'll get Paramount Network (hey, Yellowstone fans!), TLC, and HGTV.
fuboTV: The standard package – 71 channels, 30 hours of DVR space, and screen sharing capabilities — starts at $54.99. Before you make any decisions, try a one-week free trial.
How to Watch Movies with Lifetime Movie Club
While you won't be able to catch this year's releases on the network's streaming service, you'll get access to all of 2018's Christmas movies along with the other thrillers and dramas from year's past. For $5 a month, Lifetime Movie Club gives commercial-free access to holiday favorites like A Very Nutty Christmas, Jingle Belle, Christmas Pen Pals, and more. With the month-to-month subscription, you can cancel anytime (although you probably won't want to). Give it a try with a free seven-day trial, but cancel your weekend plans first since you'll want to take advantage of it.
Can I watch Lifetime on Hulu or Amazon Prime?
Yes, but it depends what you're looking for. Hulu Live TV, which starts at $45 a month, has 67 channels that can be streamed simultaneously. The standard Hulu — you know the one— doesn't carry any Lifetime movies. While Amazon Prime has all Lifetime Christmas (including the ones that recently aired!), they come at a cost: Most are $4 or $5, but at least you can have 'em forever.
