The 1993 Christmas movie The Nightmare Before Christmas has become a cult classic and has fans all around the world who watch the movie every year without fail.
But if you’re looking to access it on your favourite streaming service, Netflix, can you?
I’ll be discussing this and be providing you with one perfect solution so that you can watch the movie no matter where you are in the world.
Can I watch it on Netflix?
You may be shocked to find out that the movie is no longer available on Netflix.
As it stands, the movie isn’t available in any region. While it used to be available in many and later only in South Korea, that’s no longer the case.
So if you live in the UK, the United States, Canada or anywhere else, you will find yourself unable to watch the movie on Netflix.
However, as I mentioned before, I have a solution for you.
The movie is available on Disney+ and if you live in a country that offers Disney+ then you can head straight over there and get watching.
If you live in a region that doesn’t have Disney+ then keep reading.
What you will need
You’re going to need to get yourself an app called a VPN.
A Virtual Private Network will give your device the ability to connect to the internet through servers all over the world.
By doing so, you will be able to trick Disney+ and other websites into thinking that you are residing in that region. This will give you full access to the content of that region as if you lived in that country.
So for example, if you used a VPN to connect to a server in the United States, you would be able to access their Disney+ library. This would include access to The Nightmare Before Christmas.
It really is that simple.
Where to get a VPN?
When it comes to choosing a VPN, you are spoilt for choice.
But that’s not always a good thing, there are many VPNs out there that are sub-par and should be avoided and not all work with Disney+.
Don’t panic, though. I will help you out.
My favourite and the one I recommend that you use is ExpressVPN.
In testing, I found them to be extremely reliable and offer some of the fastest streaming speeds you will find, which makes it the perfect VPN to use while streaming 4k video content.
With over 3000 servers located worldwide, you’ll have no trouble finding a connection point.
A couple of other decent services you might want to check out are CyberGhost and Surfshark. Which you end up choosing is entirely up to you.
By using any of the VPNs mentioned above, you will have no problems streaming The Nightmare Before Christmas on Disney+, plus many other movies and shows you previously couldn’t access.
