Watch Christmas films from anywhere with a VPN

Watch Christmas films from anywhere with a VPN Features Shaun Rockwood published Don't let geo-restrictions get in the way of your movie marathons It’s the most wonderful time of the year... at least for a few more days! A time for eating, drinking, and catching up with family to watch Christmas movies old and new, good and bad. Most of us turn to streaming platforms for a fix of Christmas joy but, unfortunately, like a lot of other content, Christmas movies are often affected by geo-restrictions. It's all thanks to licensing restrictions that determine which country a show, movie, or sporting event can or cannot be broadcast in. The good news is that a VPN can help you access content no matter where you are in the world, whether you’re travelling to see family, or just want to watch a movie that’s not available in your location. Not all VPNs are created equal, though, but our hands-on, year-round testing means we know what makes the best VPNs the cream of the crop. This article will go through how you can use a VPN to unblock Christmas movies, and show which providers will give you a stocking full of Christmas cheer instead of a lump of coal. NordVPN - The best VPN overall ( $3.39 $2.99 per month) Signing up to NordVPN’s Basic plan for only $2.99 a month for 27 months gets you access to the best streaming VPN on the market today. NordVPN also offers unrivalled security and privacy protection, fast streaming and download speeds, and a huge network of servers in 110 countries - which means there'll be hardly any content out of your reach. Check it out for yourself, risk-free with NordVPN’s 30-day money-back guarantee. How can a VPN unblock Christmas movies? The content that streaming platforms are allowed to make available varies from location to location, and it's all thanks to licensing agreements that they enter with various studios. These agreements stipulate both what shows and movies can and can't be broadcast, as well as where. This is why sites like Netflix have libraries that are massively different across different countries. It also means that the movies you can tune into at home become unavailable when you travel to a different country. Frustrating, right? But a VPN helps you get around it. A VPN spoofs your digital location , fooling the sites you visit into thinking that you're somewhere else in the world. Better yet, it's easy to do - just connect to a VPN server in the country where the Christmas content you want to watch is readily available. Then, reload your favorite streaming platform, and you'll be able to enjoy all of the location-specific content accessible in that region, because the site will see the VPN's IP address rather than your original one. What makes a good streaming VPN? There are dozens of VPNs on the market, free and paid alike, and it can be difficult to know which one is the right one...
