Here's Where You Can Stream Christmas With The Kranks This Holiday Season

The holiday season comes with yearly traditions, something the Kranks want to change. They're about to learn some valuable lessons about it all in "Christmas with the Kranks." This 2004 film sees Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis star as Luther and Nora Krank; with their daughter no longer at home, the couple takes it upon themselves to try something new. Instead of partaking in the usual seasonal displays, they plan on a cruise. Nothing goes as planned, though, and the couple must find a way to reinvent that Christmas spirit for everyone.

While it debuted to modest box office success, the film didn't exactly win over critics. Austin Chronicle's Marc Savlov seemed to sum up the critical opinion at the time. "Egregiously mediocre and flagrantly ill-conceived in every department, this is, truly, the cinematic equivalent of finding a single solitary Saltine in your stocking and a pair of old tube socks beneath the tree," he wrote in the 2004 review. Nevertheless, it has gone on to find devotees over the years; based on a novel by John Grisham, it also built a following among the writer's most ardent fans. Here's where viewers can stream "Christmas with The Kranks" during the 2022 holiday season.

It shouldn't have to be a holiday guilty pleasure; anyone searching for "Christmas with the Kranks" this year will have several streaming choices. Vudu, Google Play, iTunes, and RedBox all offer the film. The services are giving viewers the option of buying or renting the title for various prices. Check with each provider to learn what the current price is for both. Additionally, special deals may be available as part of the holiday season.

The most extensive option for audiences is through AMC. First and foremost, the network streams on a variety of services — including FuboTV, Philo, and Sling TV. "Christmas with the Kranks” airs throughout the season on the channel and can be seen with a subscription to any of the listed services. On-demand options also mean repeated viewings at any time. AMC additionally offers the AMC+ app, which acts much like well-known streaming services. It is available for a monthly fee and offers the film as part of the current lineup.

Amazon Prime Video provides a free way to view the film. As part of its FreeVee service, previously known as IMDb TV, the movie is available on-demand.
