Rudolph's Back Home at NBC! A Cord Cutter's Guide to Watching the Holiday Classic

It's official! After a long stint over at CBS, the beloved holiday special "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" is finally coming back home to NBC this holiday season. That's right, the most famous reindeer of all will be gracing our screens on December 11th at 8:00 PM ET/PT, just in time to spread some Christmas cheer.

Why the move back to NBC matters:

For many of us, watching Rudolph is a cherished holiday tradition, filled with nostalgia and warm fuzzy feelings. Seeing that little red nose light up our screens takes us right back to childhood. And let's be honest, who doesn't love singing along to "Holly Jolly Christmas" and "We Are Santa's Elves"? Having Rudolph back on NBC, where it originally aired back in 1964, just feels right.

But I'm a cord cutter! How can I watch?

Don't worry, fellow cord cutters, I've got you covered! Here's how you can catch Rudolph's triumphant return to NBC:

• Peacock: NBC's own streaming service, Peacock, will be streaming Rudolph starting on December 1st. So, you can get a head start on your holiday viewing and watch it anytime you want.
• Antenna: Dust off that old antenna! NBC is a broadcast network, which means you can watch it for free with an over-the-air antenna. It's a great way to enjoy all your favorite holiday specials without a cable bill.
• NBC App and Website: You can also watch Rudolph on demand on the NBC app and website. Just make sure you have your login credentials from your TV provider handy.

Rudolph: More than just a shiny nose

Beyond the nostalgia, Rudolph is a timeless classic with important messages about acceptance, friendship, and believing in yourself. It's a story that resonates with viewers of all ages, reminding us that what makes us different also makes us special. My Streaming Life has included it yearly. Heck, I watched it when it first aired in 1964.

So, mark your calendars, cord cutters! Rudolph is back on NBC, and it's time to celebrate. Grab your hot cocoa, gather your loved ones, and get ready for a heartwarming holiday tradition.
