“How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” a cherished story by Dr. Seuss, is sure to delight families, friends, and Grinch fans who tune in this Christmas.

This animated feature, inspired by the 1957 children’s book, narrates the tale of the Grinch, a green, grumpy character disdainful of the impending Christmas festivities. He resides in a lonely mountain cave just outside of Whoville, a town famous for its love of Christmas.

Determined to spoil the joyous celebration, the Grinch plots to steal the Whos’ Christmas supplies, including their festive meals, decorations, and presents, for his own enjoyment.

However, after a chance encounter with the sweet Cindy Lou Who and seeing the Whos celebrate together on Christmas morning despite their lost belongings, the Grinch is moved by the festive spirit, and his “two sizes too small” heart expands three sizes as he joins the Whos for their feast.

While there are many adaptations of this story, including a 2000 live-action film featuring Jim Carrey, the 1966 animated special is where it all started. This year, you can find the animated classic airing on television and available on various streaming services.
