You don't need cable TV to watch a marathon of Christmas classics this season: Scrooge, It's A Wonderful Life, Santa Claus and more are streaming for free on the most popular streaming apps and services.

by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

PLEX

When the Plex newsletter dropped in my in-box yesterday, I was reminded that the Christmas holiday weekend is fast approaching and I have yet to set my Watchlist to marathon all of my favorite festive entertainment. Here's Plex's "Holiday Merry-Thon" for 2022:

"We’ve got a special delivery for you all the way from the North Pole. A sugar-coated collection of movies that'll bring tears to your eyes and melt your heart into a mushy mess. Excuse me, who’s chopping onions in here?"

Plenty of Christmas Classics and can be found in Plex's Holiday Therapy collection (click here).

Some of the highlights mentioned in the newsletter: 

• A Christmas Carol (1984) - Starring: George C. Scott as Scrooge: A story of transformation that has stood the test of time. Watch a mean miser turn into a kinder soul after learning the true meaning of Christmas, in this timeless adaptation of a Charles Dickens classic.

"Yule love our Live TV. From delicious food to feel-good shows, from love in the time of Christmas to unique festive animals—this holiday season, there’s a sleigh full of free Live TV to choose from."

• BBC Food: BBC Food Holiday Marathon - Every Saturday & Dec 22–26: The finest chefs in the UK, from Jamie Oliver to Rachel Allen, fill the kitchen with fabulous festive recipes.
• MagellanTV Now: Family "Feel Good" Marathon - Dec 25–30 (4PM–12AM UTC): Family favorites to gather around for the holidays.
• Real Life: Christmas Holi-date - Dec 20–27: Ring in love and laughs this festive season.
• WildEarth: 12 Days of Christmas - Dec 14–25 (1:30PM–5:30PM GMT): From partridges, swans, and french hens to turtle doves and leaping leopards, tune in to watch festive animals.

TUBI

Alternatively, you should also check out the free streaming service, Tubi. They have Christmas and Holiday movies and TV episodes spread throughout their entertainment categories. Also check out their Holiday Hits section (click here) and start adding movies to your weekend watchlist. 

PLUTO TV (Canada)

Don't forget to also check out the BRAND NEW TO CANADA service, Pluto TV! Pluto TV has a dedicated Season's Greetings live TV category that's worth checking out (click here), if nothing more than to enjoy a virtual crackling fireplace, aka Yule Log, with or without Christmas caroling piano music. Here are the highlights:

• Just in time for the holidays, Canadians can tune into the Christmas 365 channel, where every day is Christmas with feel-good, heart-warming holiday movies no matter the season. A selection of contemporary Christmas movies are available (similar to what would be found on channels like Hallmark and Lifetime in the US). Many of these movies will also be found in Pluto TV's video-on-demand section.
• The Ready, Set, Bake! channel features the best seasonal episodes of fan-favorite cooking shows.
• Festive Fireplace: During the holidays, there’s nothing like gathering with your loved ones to sing songs around the fire. With Pluto TV’s Festive Fireplace, you can enjoy a traditional Yule log and accompanying music any time of day this holiday season.
• Crackling Fireplace: There’s something about the natural sounds of a roaring fire that make the holidays feel cozy. With Pluto TV’s Crackling Fireplace, you can enjoy that feeling any time of day this holiday season.
• Holiday Lights: Get into the spirit of the season by filling your screen with the very best displays of holiday lights and decorations accompanied by delightful seasonal music, presented 24 hours a day. The themes include:

by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

Pluto TV has FINALLY arrived in Canada! Now available on all major streaming platforms including Roku, Fire TV, Google TV and online at https://pluto.tv/live-tv/.

Initially launching with 117 channels upon it's formal debut today, there are some notably missing channels missing from the line-up-- where's the Star Trek channel?-- but free streaming rights to the franchise are likely still locked behind Bell Media's own streaming service for the time being. That being said, Pluto TV does include the full slate of Global News channels from accross every region of the country as well as an exclusive selection of "365" channels not available in other countries.

There is plenty of great free TV to choose from with Pluto TV. Here's a sampling of channels you will find: 

• Pluto TV Comedy: For the most hilarious, most quotable, most excellent movies that will keep you in stitches 24/7, watch Pluto TV Comedy. With a library of lunacy and a litany of ludicrousness, this is the place when you are looking to LOL.
• Pluto TV Drama: On Pluto TV Drama, serious film is taken…seriously. Some of the best cinematic dramas of all time can be experiences here, in all their angsty, gritty, sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes heartwarming glory.
• Pluto TV Action: It's time to go into overdrive by jumping off buildings, flying a burning plane, driving in a car chase and saving the world. Pluto TV Action brings you blockbusters, stars, and a strong dose of high-octane excitement.
• The Asylum: From the creators of Sharknado, The Asylum offers the very best in guilty pleasure Original Movies and TV, featuring action-adventure, sci-fi, horror, late-night thrills and more. Popcorn and beer is a must!
• Christmas 365: Every day is Christmas on Christmas 365, with feel-good, heart-warming Christmas movies no matter what the season.
• Thriller 365: Warning: may cause thrills. Thrillers 365 is devoted to the nail-biting, heart-stopping movies that give the genre its name.

Here is a full demo video on how to find and install Pluto TV on Roku, and a visual preview of all of their launch channels: 

All in all, the Paramount Global and Corus Entertainment backed venture is sure to be a top service you MUST ADD to your free streaming arsenal along side of The Roku Channel, Tubi, Plex, Distro TV and so many others.

CBC Launches Free Streaming Channel CBC News Explore On All Major Streaming Platforms In Canada

November 30, 2022 — CBC today launched CBC NEWS EXPLORE, a free 24/7 ad-supported streaming (FAST) channel offering audiences a new way to discover CBC News. The new channel features video journalism that takes a step away from breaking news to explain and explore beyond the headlines, alongside a curated selection of local, national and current affairs features. Original programs include ABOUT THAT hosted by Andrew Chang, a daily half-hour show that takes a closer look at the biggest stories of the day. 

The free CBC NEWS EXPLORE stream is available on a growing number of digital and connected TV platforms including CBC Gem, the CBC News App, CBCNews.ca and The Roku Channel (channel 105 in Canada), with more to be added soon. CBC NEWS NETWORK remains CBC’s 24-hour premium service  for live-and-breaking news, available through cable and satellite providers and on CBC Gem.

“Today's launch of CBC News Explore marks an important moment in our evolution, ensuring we will be able to serve more people across Canada whenever, wherever or however they choose to consume our content,” said Susan Marjetti, General Manager of CBC News, Current Affairs and Local. “As Canada’s public broadcaster, it is important we are there for people with trusted news and information 24/7 on their platform of choice whether radio, TV, digital or via a streaming channel like this one.”

“While some focus on traditional TV audience numbers as the only measure of success, the real story of how a news organization reaches and grows its audience today is much more complex,” said Brodie Fenlon, Editor in Chief, CBC News in an Editor’s Blog. “Streaming audiences in Canada are sizable and growing, and hungry for high-quality, fact-based video journalism — just not in the places we’ve traditionally offered TV news. We won’t treat them as an afterthought. While CBC News Network remains our premium live-and-breaking news service, CBC News Explore is an important part of our future to serve Canadians on the platform of their choice.”

CBC NEWS EXPLORE Original Programs:

• ABOUT THAT - Now streaming weekdays (x 30 mins) at 11 a.m. ET (repeats 4 p.m.and 7 p.m. ET). 

Andrew Chang delves deeper into daily news by expanding our understanding of the stories everybody's talking about, featuring a blend of frank conversation, explainers and feature interviews.

• THIS WEEK IN CANADA - Now streaming Wednesdays (x 30 min) at 11:30 a.m. ET (repeats 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. ET).

This weekly program is a destination for original stories that showcase the heart of local communities in Canada, featuring video journalism from local CBC News stations from coast to coast to coast to help audiences better understand how the headlines are affecting people across the country.

• PLANET WONDER - Now streaming new episodes monthly (6 x 30 mins) on Tuesdays 11:30 a.m. ET (repeats at 4:30 p.m ET).

Meteorologist Johanna Wagstaffe explores the natural world and the impact of our changing climate with unbridled curiosity and a hands-on approach to better understand the urgent consequences of a warming planet. Wagstaffe isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty (or actually eat dirt) in her search for genuine solutions. She asks surprising questions and connects different perspectives as she wanders, and sometimes stumbles, through forests, across oceans, up mountains, into laboratories and down some fascinating rabbit holes. 

• BIG: CBC News Original Documentary series - premieres Wednesday Nov 30 at 12 p.m. ET (repeats  8 p.m. ET) with new episodes available monthly (4 x 60 mins).

This original documentary series exposes industries that impact the everyday lives of Canadians in hidden ways, drawing on unseen archival footage that connects the dots between the news stories that dominate the headlines and our social media feeds. Candid interviews with insider experts shed light on the powerful players gaming the biggest and most culturally influential industries, from the digital music industry’s monopoly over our culture; to dating apps that use our own hearts against us; to the true crime entertainment phenomenon that is influencing our actual justice system.

Editor's Note: The StreamOnABudget team is proud to announce that its very own StreamOnABudget Showcase FREE channel on Roku carries the iSports Zone TV network, now available in Canada, the US and Worldwide! Search your Roku TV or device with the term STREAMON to find and install the StreamOnABudget Showcase FREE channel on Roku, then navigate over to the iDream TV Broadcasting | Family Television to watch the ROC / Ring of Combat 78 Championship Martial Arts event on the iSports Zone TV network this Friday. The original Press Release from last week about the big event is posted below:

Nov 08, 2022 (AB Digital via COMTEX) -- Atlantic City - 8th November, 2022 - Lou Neglia & Dead Serious Promotions brings the ROC / Ring of Combat 78 Championship Martial Arts to the Tropicana Showroom, 2831 The Boardwalk, Atlantic City November 18th 2022.

Featuring Ricardo Jimenez v Chris Kwiatkowski, Dylan Mantello v John Ramirez, Elvis Lebron v Christopher Guariglia, Shaquan Moore v Armando Gjetja, Jimmy Drago v Regis Farias and Ronnie Rodriguez v Calogero Torretta, this evening of Mixed Martial Arts Mayhem promises to one of the greatest nights in the history of sport.

Lou Neglia has a track record of bringing to the World of Mixed Martial Arts evenings that live long in the memory but very few (if any) quite like this with such and amazing array of fighters taking part.

Ring of Combat began with one simple concept, to give mixed martial art (MMA) fighters a platform to showcase their talent and dedication. Owned by former three-time world kickboxing champion, Lou Neglia, Ring of Combat began to pave the way for east coast MMA with its first event held October 12th, 2002 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Now in Atlantic City, New Jersey, the Tournaments and the standard of participants have begun to reach to even newer and dizzier heights.

Today, Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) has risen from obscurity to widely considered to be the fastest growing sport in the world. Lou realized from his own experience that fighters would need to work their way to the top and firmly believed, tough fights make great fighters. Lou’s keen eye for talent has helped to groom some of the best fighters on the planet and Ring of Combat 78 is no exception.

Available to view on a variety of TV Channels (see below) Ring of Combat 78 promises to be an evening that very few if any will ever forget.

ROC can be found on the following TV stations. In New York on WNYN 30.1, Comfy TV, WNYN 30.2, iSports Zone TV, WXNY 23.1 Comfy TV, WXNY 23.2 iSports Zone TV, WXNY 23.3, Movie Giants. In Los Angeles at KSGA 26.1 Comfy TV, K32OX 32.2 iSports Zone TV. In Phoenix (Prescott) at K30KMM, 31.4 Comfy TV, KDVD 50.3 iSports TV. In Boston, MA on WCEA, 36.4 iSports Zone TV. In Detroit on WHPS, 12.2, and Comcast cable, Channel 90 iHolyfield. In Florida in Miami-Ft. Lauderdale, on WDFL 12.1 iHolyfield. In West Palm Beach-Ft. Pierce FL on W11DH, 11.4, Comfy TV.

In Jackson MS JUS-TV and Comcast cable, channel, 14 iHolyfield TV. In Santa Barbara CA on KBAB 31.2 Comfy TV and in Columbus GA-Opelika AL on WQMK, 18.2, Comfy TV.

Ring of Combat has given rise to more UFC fighters and UFC champions than any other MMA promotion in the world. Over 150 Ring of Combat fighters have been called up to the UFC including champions like: Chris Weidman, Charles Oliveira, Matt Serra, Frankie Edgar, Eddie Alvarez.

Ring of Combat has often been called the “American Idol” of Mixed Martial Arts. More about Lou Neglia and Ring of Combat can be found at http://www.ringofcombat.com

The New Google Chromecast with Google TV on Sale At Biggest Discount Since Launch; Must Install Free TV Apps After You Buy

The New Google Chromecast with Google TV is less than two months old and already Google is selling it at its lowest discount since it launched. If you delayed buying the new HD device when it launched on September 23rd, now is your chance to get it for as low as US$19.99 / CA$29.99 at all major retailers and online including the official Google Store and on Amazon.*

*If you buy on Amazon through the affiliate links in our post, we get paid a commission for your purchase and it helps keeps the lights on here at @StreamOnABudget. Your support also helps fund continued development of our official endeavors at the StreamOnABudget Showcase Project, including our new Roku app, the StreamOnABudget Showcase FREE channel on Roku!

If you've already bought and installed your new Google Chromecast with Google TV and looking for some great apps to put on it, check out a few of my favorites:

PLEX - Perhaps the Go-To app to stream dozens of live TV channels and thousands of ad-supported movies and TV episodes, make sure this app is front and center in "Your apps". I am a fan of classic/vintage TV and movies and cult cinema, and I've been watching a lot of The Film Detective, Kino Cult and the recently launched Scream! Factory TV, a 24/7 cult horror channel from the makers of Shout! Factory TV. Kino Cult has a standalone Google TV app which is worth checking out if you are a fan, with hundreds of genre movies and TV shows on demand and their live linear channel as well.

CLASSIC RERUNS TV - This recent newcomer within the last couple of years is finding its way to many over-the-air affiliates in the US as well as some of the most popular streaming platforms. On this app you'll find all the great favorite TV reruns of the '50s and '60s that you would expect in such a place, but the Google TV version of the app does not stream their live linear channel. (If you have a Roku, you can find the live channel in their own standalone app on Roku. Full disclosure, we also have the live network streaming on our own live TV app on Roku.) The live stream for Classic Reruns TV is available through Distro TV that you install on your Google Chromecast with Google TV device.

CINEHOUSE - If you are in Canada, you won't be able to get Cinedigm Corps. CINEVERSE service right now, so the next best thing is a free ad-supported app called Cinehouse. It carries many of the popular art-house, cult and classic entertainment linear channels you might expect on other platforms including the Cineverse movie channel, a true crime channel called Crime Hunters, and genre networks like Midnight Pulp. Hundreds of ad-supported movies and TV shows are also available to binge any time.

If none of these apps suit your tastes, you can always scroll over to Apps on your Google TV device and check out any of the hundreds of apps available from app categories such as Entertainment, Lifestyle, Sports and more. -Georges Brunet

Budget Streamer Paramount+ And Free Firestick Lite Offer Is Still Available In The US; UPDATE: Free Trial Available in Canada for New Users, 3 Months Free to Returning Subs.

by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

Paramount+ is a premium streaming TV service which is perfect for the streamer on a budget, and the service is now offering it's best deal ever. Taking a considerable discount off annual plans as well as offering an incredible deal on one of Amazon's best devices, this offer is definitely worth considering if you are a new subscriber in the US who is on the fence in pulling the trigger for the first time, and for returning subscribers as well.

About the offer (only available in the US):

For users of Paramount+ south of the border, the streamer has an ongoing promotion offering a free Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite streaming device with an annual supscription of Paramount+, available to new and returning subscribers to the service. (Sorry, this offer is not available in Canada.)

Sign up for the 12-month Essential ad-supported plan for only US$24.99 (normally US$49.99), or you can get the Premium mostly ad-free plan for US$49.99 (normally US$99.99). Additionally, as a limited bonus offer, you get a Fire TV Stick Lite, capable of streaming up to 1080p, which is a value of US$29.99.

For viewers in the US, you can access a variety of exclusive streaming shows like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Halo, and The Good Fight. You can also stream live sports, like NFL games on CBS, and opting for the Premium plan even gets you your local CBS station. This offer continues until November 3rd, though the availability of free Fire Sticks is “while supplies last.”

Redeeming the offer:

• To get your free Fire TV Stick Lite, go to Paramountplus.com and click the REDEEM OFFER button. Then it will say “You’re just 3 quick steps away from streaming!” which you can skip by clicking the “CONTINUE” button.
• You are now in the first step, where you must select a plan. Simply select Essential or Premium subscription and click the SELECT PLAN button to proceed.
• As of now, Paramount+ is asking you to subscribe to the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME bundle, which you can avoid by clicking the MAYBE LATER button.
• The next screen will prompt you to create an account; simply click the CONTINUE button to proceed to step 2. Simply enter your details, such as your full name, email address, and other details, and then click the CONTINUE button. Then it will ask you, “One last step!” “Add a payment method.”

• The promotional code must be used by November 3rd, 2022. We recommend that you use that promo code as soon as you receive it in your email. 

Paramount+ in Canada:

Since the free Fire TV Stick Lite offer is only available in the US, new Canadian subscribers can still take advantage of a 7-day free trial, then CA$5.99 per month after that. The sign up process is similar to what is described above, but you will not get any coupon code for a free device. Content on Paramount+ will also differ from its American counterpart due to varying streaming rights held by Bell Media and Rogers Media in Canada. The Canadian version of Paramount+ is only available as a monthly, ad-free premium service and includes ET Live (Entertainment Tonight) and CBS News live streams.

UPDATE 10/21/22: The Facebook page for Paramount+ Canada announced 3 months free to returning subscribers. The link on the page directs you to log in, so it's assumed that you already have a pre-existing login to be able to get the deal.

Roku Livens Up Screens This Fall With New Dynamic Wallpaper And Screensaver

by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

One of the most annoying things about Roku's seasonal themes is that Roku (for some unknown reason) doesn't usually make their themes available permanently. Generally, seasonal themes for special events or holidays automatically appear on your Roku for a limited time, then once the season or event is over, the themes (meaning the wallpaper background of the main Roku screen and the accompanying screensaver) are automatically purged from your device. You can't find them in their Roku channel (app) store once they are gone.

This autumn season, Roku updated our TVs and devices with a great new theme, "Fall in the Park," which gave us a dynamic wallpaper called, well, "Fall in the Park," with animated leaves blowing in the wind across your screen, and adapted its City Stroll: Movie Magic screensaver with matching fall colors. The updated screensaver also included new movie references embedded as "Easter Eggs" in scenes as they scrolled across your screen. About a week later, the wallpaper disappeared reverting to the default I had set, and the original City Scroll: Movie Magic screensaver returned.

I had expressed my disappointment about this in my Facebook group, We Are Streamers On A Budget. Soon thereafter some members had alerted me that the wallpaper and screensaver were updated as individual channels in the Roku app store. Does that mean that Roku is finally making their seasonal themes permanent for all to enjoy any time of year?

I certainly dig the "Dynamic Wallpapers," I wish they had more of them. The only one that I am aware exists is the Winter Wonderland wallpaper that has falling snowflakes, but that's about it. Until now!

Roku's new autumn-themed dynamic wallpaper is now available by searching with the term FALL IN THE PARK, and find the new screensaver with the term FALL STROLL IN THE PARK.

You can also add them onto your Roku via your account online using the links below:
