Where to watch the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball concert for free

Add as a preferred source on Google

Every Christmas brings several traditions that almost everyone experiences: shopping for impossible-to-find presents, traveling to see relatives you barely know or tolerate, watching live sports while digesting unhealthy food, and watching A Christmas Story on a constant, eternal loop.

For some people, it’s watching a bunch of musicians gather to sing holiday tunes and some of their biggest pop hits. While the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball hasn’t been around long, it’s quickly becoming a holiday staple. The 2022 edition promises to be the best yet, with a slate of pop singers, boy bands from yesteryear, and established stars coming together for a concert at New York City’s Madison Square Garden. You don’t need a ticket to attend, as the event will be broadcasted and streamed this year. But where can you watch it?

Prime Video's library goes far beyond the algorithm-driven hits everyone already knows about. I dug through some older, quieter gems this week, ranging from the chaotic world of a New York orchestra to a burnt-out lawyer taking down corporate giants and a slice-of-life comedy that deserved a much longer run. Whether you are looking for something dramatic, funny, or deeply human, these Prime Video titles worth adding to your watchlist this weekend.

Apple TV just got a bunch of classic movies, and they’re all worth a rewatch
Apple is quietly adding beloved films to its streaming library, giving subscribers plenty more than just its original shows and movies
Apple TV on an iPad.

Apple TV has quietly stumbled onto a pretty good streaming strategy: make great original shows and movies, then occasionally throw some genuinely great older movies into the mix. As part of its latest content drop, Apple TV has added a collection of classic and popular movies that subscribers can watch without paying an additional rental fee. The selection varies by region, but titles spotted so far include Arrival, The Martian, E.T., Gone Girl, Zodiac, Titanic, The Sixth Sense, The Bourne Identity, and Catch Me If You Can.

This isn't exactly filler content
