Streaming ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ This Christmas: 24-Hour Dedicated Movie Channel Celebration

This holiday season, Pluto TV brings a special treat for classic film lovers with ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Christmas streaming. The channel has launched a unique initiative, offering non-stop broadcasting of the beloved Christmas film until January 2.

Directed by the two-time best director Academy Award winner Frank Capra, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ has transcended the realm of movies; it’s become a seasonal tradition now. The iconic film that garnered five Oscar nominations narrates the story of George Bailey, played by James Stewart. In this Christmas streaming special, viewers can watch as Bailey, a benevolent banker, discovers the vast impact of his kindness through the intervention of his guardian angel, Clarence.

The film’s streaming on Pluto TV this Christmas is a nod to its timeless appeal. It has been a fixture in holiday film rankings, voted as the top Christmas film in a 2020 Radio Times readers’ poll, and similarly recognized by BBC Radio 2 listeners.

In discussing the popularity of ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’, film critic James King remarks, “It’s what Christmas is all about: Friendship, kindness and the importance of family. It’s still warming hearts of all ages and feels especially poignant after a tough 2020.” This sentiment aligns with the reason behind the film’s Christmas streaming on Pluto TV.

It’s interesting to note that despite its current fame, ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ was initially a box office disappointment. Its resurgence and popularity grew through television broadcasts, particularly during the Christmas season.

The ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Christmas streaming on Pluto TV competes with a list that includes newer and older festive favorites, like ‘Die Hard’ and ‘The Muppet Christmas Carol’. However, its message of hope and community spirit continues to resonate deeply with audiences worldwide.

A Pluto TV spokeswoman highlighted the film’s integral role in holiday celebrations, stating, “With ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ Christmas streaming, we’re bringing a quintessential element of Christmas right into the homes of our viewers. It’s as essential as mince pies and brandy butter during the festive season.”
