Craving Hallmark Holiday Cheer All Year Round? How to Add Great American Family to Your Hulu!
Let's face it, folks. Regular Hulu is great, but sometimes you just need a heaping helping of wholesome family content, the kind that guarantees a happy ending and leaves you with a sugar rush of festive spirit. That's where the Great American Family channel swoops in, like a bald eagle with a perfectly coiffed comb-over.
But here's the thing: Unlike that fruitcake your aunt keeps sending, Great American Family isn't automatically included in your standard Hulu package. Fear not, disciples of heartwarming cinema! Here's how to unlock a world of cheesy Christmas rom-coms, adorable dog movies, and enough Thanksgiving dinner scenes to make your stomach churn (in the best way possible).
Option 1: Embrace the Live TV Life (with Perks!)
This is for the commitment-minded streamer who wants the full cable-wannabe experience. Hulu + Live TV offers a smorgasbord of live channels, including the glorious Great American Family. Think of it as the all-you-can-eat buffet of heartwarming content, with a side dish of live sports (because sometimes you gotta balance out the schmaltz with a good ol' fashioned throwdown, right?).
Pros: You get Great American Family and a bunch of other channels. Plus, you can watch live TV, which is pretty darn snazzy if you're into that whole "current events" thing.
Cons: Hulu + Live TV costs more than the basic plan (shocking, I know). You might end up watching reruns of reruns of reruns while waiting for that new Christmas movie premiere.
Option 2: The Channel Surfing Shuffle (for the Indecisive Streamer)
Here's the deal: Sometimes, commitment is scary. That's where a free trial comes in, like a knight in shining armor offering a complimentary cup of hot cocoa. Several streaming services, including Hulu (for a limited time!), offer trials that include Great American Family.
Pros: You get a taste of the Great American Family goodness for free! Perfect for a holiday movie marathon or a weekend binge.
Cons: The trial eventually ends, leaving you with a Great American Family-shaped hole in your heart (and your streaming queue). You might have to navigate a maze of signup forms and remember to cancel before you get charged.
Bonus Tip: Be like a crafty elf and use different email addresses for each free trial. Just sayin'. (But maybe don't tell Santa.)
There you have it, folks! With a little know-how, you can be well on your way to a year-round celebration of family, faith, and flannel shirts. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a talking snowman and a cup of eggnog. Happy streaming!
