The holiday’s biggest cynic is back.

Content may vary over time.

Four o'clock, wallow in self-pity. 
Four-thirty, stare into the abyss. 
Five o'clock, solve world hunger, tell no one. 
Five-thirty, jazzercize. 
Six o’clock, watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas on Peacock.  

If you’re not feeling particularly jolly about the holiday season, or maybe you have some green wardrobe you’ve been waiting to show off, Jim Carrey’s iconic 2000 rendition of this bad banana, with a greasy black peel, is here for your streaming pleasure on Peacock. 

When can you watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas?  

How the Grinch Stole Christmas will be available to stream on Peacock between Dec 20-31.  

What is How the Grinch Stole Christmas about?  

This version of the classic Dr. Seuss story takes place in a Whoville run by an egotistical mayor (Jeffrey Tambor) alongside Martha May Whovier (Christine Baranski). Just like in the original, the Grinch (Carrey) lives on Mt. Crumpet, where he looms over Whoville, harboring resentment for all the Whos and their Christmas spirit. As it turns out, the Grinch has a history in Whoville, where he was once in love with Martha May, until he was humiliated by the now- mayor who was pining for Martha as well. No one has seen the Grinch in years — that is until Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen), a local child who becomes enamored with the Grinch’s story, nominates him as the town’s Holiday Cheermeister.  

What other Grinch movies are on Peacock? 

If you’re feeling a Grinchy triple feature, look no further! You can stream the original 1966 cartoon on Peacock, complete with the Grinch’s iconic theme song of course. And if old school isn’t your vibe, catch Illumination's 2018 version, featuring a new rendition of the theme by Tyler, the Creator.  

If you’re ever feeling like your heart is a few sizes too small, stream How the Grinch Stole Christmas starting Dec 20 on Peacock!
