How To Watch ‘Christmas With the Kranks’ This Holiday Season
Not everyone is into Christmas. One father devises a plan to completely “skip” the holiday one year, with his plan backfiring pretty quickly. This movie stars Tim Allen, previously of The Santa Clause franchise as Luther Krank.
Now, fans can watch Christmas With the Kranks throughout the month of December thanks to one television network.
Tim Allen stars as Luther Krank in this holiday classic
Christmas isn’t a happy time for every family. During Christmas With the Kranks, Allen goes from the holly, jolly Scott Calvin in The Santa Clause franchise to a grinch-esque father completely over the Christmas cheer.
When the couple learns his daughter won’t be coming home for holidays, he makes a plan with his wife (portrayed by Halloween and Knives Out actor Jamie Lee Curtis) to “skip Christmas.”
They won’t be decorating their house, they won’t be getting a tree. The Kranks won’t even put their iconic snowman outside, which really upsets their neighbors.
With all the money they save, the two plan to go on a quiet and peaceful vacation. The couple then finds out their daughter will be coming home for the holidays after all and scramble to get everything back to the way Christmas was when she was young.

There are several television networks broadcasting classic holiday films, but only one is playing this movie starring Allen and Curtis. That’s Freeform, a television network which broadcasts holiday movies daily with their “25 Days of Christmas” schedule.
