After all, there's nothing quite like a classic Christmas film to get you in the holiday spirit, and George Bailey's journey to rediscover the true meaning of life and family is no exception. Even Ree Drummond has said this film will always have a special place in her heart (right alongside the Christmas comedy Elf), so you know it's truly a holiday favorite!

If you're looking to stream the classic without reaching for your wallet, you're in luck! Plex, an American media service, currently offers It's a Wonderful Life for a whopping $0.00. (Yes, it's free!) The platform is supported by ads, however, so you can expect those to pop up during your watch.

Additionally, the film will be available to stream on NBC's mobile app and website, as well as Peacock.
Will It's a Wonderful Life Air on TV?
If you're more of cable person, then no worries! This year, NBC will continue its annual tradition of airing It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve. This year, it will air on Tuesday, December 24 from 8-11 p.m. EST. Sounds like the perfect occasion for gathering your family together—dressed in matching Christmas pajamas, of course!
