You pay good money for your streaming services, like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and now Disney+. But that won’t help you during the holiday season, because some of the movies you love the most aren’t on them.
That includes CLASSICS like “Rudolph”, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, and “Elf”.
Streaming services don’t really see the upside to licensing holiday titles, because they don’t really drive customers to sign up and stick around. And the owners of these titles would rather license them to broadcasters once a year.
