If you’re looking to amplify your holiday movie marathon, why not dive into the festive offerings on Lifetime? During this season, the network often takes a hiatus from its usual gritty plots and protagonists, embracing the merry and bright. Yet, if you’re also in the mood for reruns of beloved shows like Castle and Grey’s Anatomy, you can indulge—all without the need for cable or satellite subscriptions.

While Pluto TV offers a taste of Lifetime’s holiday films for free, accessing the network directly is the key to streaming new holiday titles, exploring its reality shows, or delving into its darker movie selection. Here’s your guide on how to enjoy the world of Lifetime without the constraints of cable.

Watch Lifetime TV on a live TV streaming service 

You can find a limited selection of Lifetime content on Hulu’s video-on-demand service, but there are several live TV streaming platforms that carry the network in their channel lineups. Philo and Sling are among the most popular and least expensive options that offer access to Lifetime’s newest releases that you can watch live or on-demand.

However, we advise you to choose one that’s best for your budget and content preferences. To learn more about live TV streaming offerings, read our channel comparison and this matchup between YouTube TV and Hulu Plus Live TV.
