Where to Stream the Best (and Only) Thanksgiving Classic This Holiday

by

During the holidays, you can find countless Christmas movies to enjoy, from beloved classics like Home Alone, Elf, and A Christmas Story to dozens of new releases each year. Thanksgiving, however, hasn’t had the same success with films. While a few movies take place on Thanksgiving, there’s really only one that’s considered a true classic, which explains why people watch it repeatedly every year.

John Hughes’ Planes, Trains and Automobiles is considered one of the greatest holiday movies ever made. It’s also unique for being a truly excellent film centered around the Thanksgiving holiday. Starring Steve Martin and the beloved John Candy, the movie follows two strangers whose attempts to get home for Thanksgiving become hilariously complicated by canceled flights and bad weather.

This popular and classic comedy is a Thanksgiving tradition for many families, and a lot of them already have it on DVD or Blu-ray. But if you don’t, you’re in luck – it’s available to stream on several platforms this year.

Streaming Planes, Trains and Automobiles This Thanksgiving

If you’re looking for a free way to watch Planes, Trains and Automobiles this Thanksgiving, Pluto TV is your best bet. Paramount’s free streaming service offers the classic John Hughes film, and will even be showing it three times in a row on the Pluto TV Comedy channel throughout Thanksgiving Day.

Besides Pluto TV, you can also stream Planes, Trains and Automobiles on Paramount+ and MGM+. If you have a Paramount+ subscription without ads, that’s a great way to watch the movie without interruptions.
