What Christmas Plus offers
A free streaming service devoted entirely to Christmas content has expanded its catalogue for the 2026 holiday season, according to Cord Cutters News. The platform, called Christmas Plus, is published by OTT Studio LLC, a company based in Venice, California.
The company says the service holds more than 3,000 hours of festive viewing, among it over 1,000 Christmas films. The library ranges from well-known classics such as It's a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol to television specials including the PeeWee's Playhouse Christmas Special and ALF's Special Christmas, as well as documentaries like Rick Steves European Christmas.
Content is sorted into categories that include more than 200 Christmas romances, over 50 specials drawn from established television shows, and a cooking section. The app also carries more than 15 live channels with Christmas-themed programming, and family and adult-oriented titles are kept in separate rows.
How to watch and what it costs
Christmas Plus is free and supported by advertising. According to the company's press materials, no subscription or account signup is needed, and the service is available worldwide.
Viewers can access it through apps for Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Vizio, Android TV and Google TV, on iPhone, iPad and Android devices, and on the web. A seasonal round-the-clock channel is also carried on other platforms, including Prime Video, Sling Freestream, LG Channels and Philo.
That figure comes from the company itself and has not been independently verified.
New features for the 2026 season
For 2026, the service is promoting a Christmas Movie Advent Calendar that unlocks one film each day from 1 December to 25 December. Titles that have been opened stay available afterwards.
A second addition is a swipe-based discovery tool on mobile and some TV platforms. It plays short clips from scenes to help viewers find something to watch.
The service will also stream the 2027 Rose Parade live on 1 January at no charge. Cord Cutters News notes that some outlets have listed Christmas Plus as a free way to watch the parade in earlier years as well.
Why it matters
Free ad-supported streaming services have become a common way to watch seasonal programming without another subscription. A catalogue focused solely on Christmas gives viewers a single place to find festive films and specials during the holidays.
Because the service needs no account, the barrier to trying it is low. Readers who want the details should note that most figures, including the library size and viewer numbers, come from the company's own materials rather than independent testing.
