Christmas movies are Where the World is Going?
'Tis the season to dust off our favourite Christmas movies, and thanks to streaming, we have more choice than ever directly at our fingertips.
In fact, Streaming Media is a significant investment trend - so much so that it's one of our 12 "where the world is going" investment trends at Spaceship. (What is "Where the World is Going"?)
Streaming Media includes companies that produce subscription-based online audio and video services, including live events.
It can include both hardware and software, original and licensed content. The size of the streaming media market has been predicted to increase by 7.86% per year until 2028, according to Mordor Intelligence.
'Tis the stream season
December is the biggest month for streaming. In 2024, it reached two new highs: hours spent watching streaming services; and market share taken from traditional TV viewing (remember TV?)
So, when you sit down to stream a Christmas movie, you're not just passing the time with your loved ones or pining for them.
You're part of the reason streaming companies are lucrative for shareholders and Spaceship Voyager investors.
A Christmas movie list (make it, then check it twice!)

Ed says, "Die Hard!" Al says, "Klaus or How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Jim Carrey version)," and Zach says "The Santa Clause - a true classic from the 90s. Great story line. Great cast!"
