Home Alone Live Stream: How to Watch Online Without Cable

20th Century Fox

It’s that time of year when Christmas movies are an essential part of your daily routine, and when it comes to Christmas movies, “Home Alone” is right in the thick of the GOAT discussion. And fortunately, even if you don’t own the movie or don’t have cable, it’s still easy to watch a live stream on your computer, phone or other connected device.

This year, “Home Alone”–as well as “Home Alone 2” and “Home Alone 3”–is part of Starz’s on-demand library. And if you don’t have a Starz subscription, you can get both a live stream of the channel and access to its entire on-demand library by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV services. They all cost a monthly fee but come with various free trials and other deals, allowing you to watch plenty of Kevin McCallister at no cost:

Amazon Prime: If you have Amazon Prime or want to start a free 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, you can watch live Starz and all of Starz’s on-demand content through Amazon Channels. The Starz channel costs $8.99 per month but comes with a free 7-day trial. Once signed up for both Prime and the Starz channel, you can watch “Home Alone” on your computer via this link, or you can watch on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Amazon Video app

DirecTV Now: Starz is a $8 per month add-on that can be added to any of DirecTV Now’s four channel packages. It comes with a free 7-day trial no matter what package you choose, plus you can get $25 off your first month if you enter promo code “BDAY2017”. Once signed up, you can watch on your computer via the DirecTV Now website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the DirecTV Now app

Sling TV: Starz is a $9 per month add-on that can be added to either of Sling TV’s base packages. It comes with a free 7-day trial, and you can watch on your computer via the Sling TV website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Sling TV app

If you’re still unsure, here’s a more complete rundown of what all these live streaming services provide, and how to sign up to start watching:

Amazon Prime

You will need subscriptions to two services to watch Starz’s content, and thus “Home Alone”: Amazon Prime, which gives you access to all of Amazon’s video library, and the Starz Channel add-on, which gives you access to all of Starz’s on-demand movies and TV shows, as well as live TV.

If you already have an Amazon Prime or Amazon Prime Video account, you can head here to sign up for the Starz add-on. The service costs $8.99 per month, and you’ll need to enter your payment information, but if you can cancel before seven days, you won’t be charged.

If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can head here to start a free trial of both Prime and Starz. The free trial for Amazon Prime is 30 days long and costs $10.99 per month after that, while the Starz Channel trial is seven days and costs $8.99 per month after that.

Once signed up for both services, you can then return here to watch “Home Alone” or here to watch Starz live (bottom of the page). You can also watch via your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Amazon Video app by navigating to Starz under “Amazon Channels” or “My Channels.” A complete list of compatible streaming devices can be found here.
