The news broke Wednesday via a message on Beatles.com that read: "On December 24 at 12:01 local time -- here, there and everywhere -- The Beatles' music is available for streaming worldwide."

The group's catalog will stream on Apple Music, Deezer, Google Play, Microsoft Groove, Amazon Prime, Rhapsody, Spotify, Slacker and Tidal.

Happy Holidays!
