Jim Carrey transformed himself into a green Christmas-hating character 23 years ago, and the holiday film canon has never been the same since.
On Nov. 17, 2000, a live-action adaption of Dr. Seuss’ 1957 book was released and became a huge hit. Directed by Ron Howard, the film starred Jim Carrey, Christine Baranski, and a young Taylor Momsen among a well-known cast.
The film isn’t currently available on streaming. However, according to NBC, the movie will be available on Peacock from December 20 to 31. The film will also air on NBC on Dec. 25 at 8:30 p.m. ET. You can read more about the film’s upcoming availability here.
