Serious question: If you don’t watch Love Actually at some point in November or December, is it really the holiday season? This Christmas-themed rom com has been a seasonal staple since 2003, with fans coming back again and again to watch ten different people fall in and out of love around the holidays.
It’s now been two decades since Love Actually was first released—there’s a 20th anniversary trailer and everything. With that, it only makes sense to honor the classic with a solid viewing party or two this year. So, grab a partner, sibling, or friend, pop the popcorn, and snuggle in for some major wintry, feel-good vibes.
Wondering where can you watch Love Actually right now? Here’s a full breakdown on how to watch or stream the cult-fave film, whether you’re planning to check it out on streaming services or cable.
What streaming services is Love Actually available on?
There are a lot of streaming services out there, but there’s one that features Love Actually: Netflix. You can hop on this second and stream the flick if you’re a subscriber. Netflix doesn’t offer a free trial if you’re not, but you can technically change or cancel your plan any time after signing up if you want to go that route.
Where can I rent or buy it?
If you’re okay with ponying up a little cash, and don’t feel like signing up for Netflix, you can buy or rent Love Actually online. Prices start at $3.79 for a movie rental, or $7.99 to buy the movie at Prime Video, Apple TV+, YouTube, and Google Play.
How can I watch Love Actually for free?
You could try a free trial if you don’t already have Netflix. And if you happen to have Love Actually on DVD (which was still a thing when it came out), that route is really the only other option. Otherwise, you’ll have to stick with a streaming service or cable.
Is Love Actually on cable?
Yup! Love Actually will air on the AMC channel in December. Here’s a smattering of upcoming dates to check out:
- Sunday, December 11 at 9:00 a.m. ET
- Wednesday, December 14 at 12:15 a.m. ET
- Wednesday, December 14 at 11:15 a.m. ET
