Over Christmas weekend, families will be cooped up in their homes with few engagements to the outside world. With that in mind, what better way is there to spend your holidays than sitting in front of your screen of choice and streaming some critically-acclaimed television? Amazon is providing everyone with that opportunity by making the first seasons of three of its most-popular original shows — Man in the High Castle, Bosch, and Mozart in the Jungle — free for all users until the end of 2016.

Normally, those programs are only available to viewers who pay $99 per year for an Amazon Prime subscription, but by making them available for free, Amazon is looking to reel in some new consumers.
