The prices of streaming services are getting out of control. Nearly every major streaming service, from Netflix and Peacock to Hulu and Paramount+, increased their prices in 2024. Unfortunately, that trend will likely continue into 2025 as the streaming wars intensify. Pretty soon, consumers will have to consolidate and choose only one service to pay for and abandon the rest.

Wouldn’t it be great to receive free movies for Christmas? Luckily, this idea of streaming free movies exists on FAST services, or free ad-supported television. Thousands of movies are available to stream at no cost to consumers. Each movie includes a few ads to watch, but that’s it. Tubi is one of the best FAST services on the market. Download Tubi now and enjoy one of these three Christmas movies.

Arthur Christmas (2011)

On Christmas, Santa Claus gets all the glory. However, Arthur Christmas pulls back the curtains and depicts what really goes on at the North Pole. In the animated Christmas movie, Santa, real name Malcolm Claus (Jim Broadbent), is the leader of a high-tech operation that utilizes hundreds of elves to help deliver presents. There is a hiccup this year when one present fails to make its way to one child’s home.

The present is a bike that belongs to Gwen Hines (Ramona Marquez), who lives in Trelew, Cornwall, England. When a devastated Santa needs help delivering the present, his youngest son, the clumsy Arthur (Speak No Evil‘s James McAvoy), steps up and embarks on a mission to England. Arthur Christmas goes out to all the underdogs, who prove that even the unlikeliest of people can be heroes, especially at the holidays.

Die Hard (1988)

The question inspiring countless debates during the holiday season: Is Die Hard a Christmas movie? What started out as a fun conversation ultimately transformed into a nauseating argument. Here’s a compromise: It’s never a bad time to watch Die Hard, whether you think it’s a Christmas movie or not.

On Christmas Eve, NYPD Detective John McClane (Bruce Willis) heads to Nakatomi Plaza in LA to surprise his estranged wife, Holly (Bonnie Bedelia), during a company party. The party is cut short after Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman) and his group of terrorists take the entire party hostage. McClane manages to slip away and escape capture. McClane can’t trust anyone on the outside besides a veteran cop (Reginald VelJohnson). To save his wife, McClane takes the law into his own hands by becoming a one-man wrecking crew that takes out Gruber’s men.

If you knew you only had a finite amount of time left on earth, how would you spend it? In the obscure Christmas movie Last Holiday, Georgia Byrd (Queen Latifah) takes the phrase “live like we’re dying” to another level. Georgia is a shy and quiet salesperson who discovers she has a rare terminal disease. Unable to pay for the surgery, Georgia decides to enjoy the last few remaining weeks she has left.

Georgia quits her job, cashes in her life savings, and heads to Europe to live out the final weeks of her life in style. Georgia checks into a gorgeous hotel suite and spends money on countless pieces of clothing and jewelry. Georgia’s positive attitude attracts the attention of everyone around her, but all she cares about is winning over the heart of one person, her longtime crush Sean Matthews (LL Cool J).

Spotify’s new Running Mode takes workout playlists to another level
Running mode on Spotify

Finding music for a run sounds easy until you actually try. Your favorite playlist might work perfectly for a relaxed jog, then feel completely wrong when you’re pushing through intervals. And after hearing the same handful of workout songs for the hundredth time, even a good playlist can start feeling painfully predictable.

Spotify thinks it has a better solution. Its new Running Mode is now rolling out to Premium subscribers using Android in the US, Canada, the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, and Sweden, and rather than simply handing you another workout playlist, it builds one around the run you’re about to do. That means Spotify can factor in everything from how long you plan to run to the kind of workout you want, the music you like, and even the tempo that matches your stride.

YouTube is making view counts bigger, but creators aren’t getting any richer
YouTube is changing what a ‘view’ means, and everyone’s numbers are going up
YouTube

If you suddenly find your YouTube videos popping off, it might be because of view inflation. Starting August 24, 2026, YouTube is changing how it counts public views. A view will register from the moment a video begins playing — starting with its very first frame — with the same system applied globally across long-form videos, Shorts, and livestreams.

YouTube adds that creators should expect their total public view counts to increase faster as a result. In other words, getting someone to stick around is no longer necessary for that big public-facing number to tick upward.
