Meanwhile if you're not a Sky customers, or you don't have the cinema package, then you can stream the film with a Now TV Cinema Pass. If you're a Sky customer with a cinema package then you can watch The Polar Express any time on your Sky Q box or on the film channels. The film is available on Sky Cinema and NowTV. Unfortunately The Polar Express isn't available on Netflix in the UK but there is a way to stream it this year. With Netflix being one of the most popular streaming platforms and home to films like The Holiday, A Christmas Prince and new release The Holidate, users might be wondering what other festive cuts are available. Since its release the film is regularly screened at festive nights and drive-thru theatres as well as passengers being able to go on real-life steam trains that travel across the country to create a Polar Express experience. He's invited aboard by its conductor (voiced by Tom Hanks) and joins several other children as they embark on a journey to visit Santa Claus as he prepares for Christmas. The animated modern classic is a magical adventure that follows a young boy on Christmas Eve who sees a mysterious train bound for the North Pole stop outside his house. The film is best when watched at Christmas time as it loses some of the magic when watched at other times of the year, but the soundtrack is enjoyable and can be listened to at anytime of the year.
This Christmas plenty of Brits will be spending more time at home due to lockdown restrictions, and what better way to get into the spirit than with a movie night. I love the Polar Express film and a large part of what makes it so enjoyable is the music which is captured here wonderfully. The Polar Express is a family favourite watch during the festive period.
