Okay, be honest. Do you also have those go-to movies that you rewatch every single year like it’s a personal tradition? For me, it’s Hocus Pocus (witchy vibes) and Elf (because Will Ferrell in tights is timeless). Apple TV App Is Now on Fire TV — Your Holiday Movie Binge Just Got Smarter! That’s Exciting, right?
But here’s the problem: Every year I think I own them digitally, and every year I somehow end up buying them again. Like… where are they hiding? On an old iPod? A potato-powered laptop from 2010?
Well guess what? That confusion is officially over. 🎉

Say Hello to the Apple TV App on Fire TV
Big news! You can now download the Apple TV app directly on your Fire TV device. Yup, it’s finally happening. The app gives you access to your entire iTunes library — so every movie and TV show you’ve ever bought (yes, even that one you regret) is just a click away.
Once I logged into my iCloud account, boom! 🎇 Elf and Hocus Pocus magically appeared like they were summoned by holiday cheer and coding elves. No extra purchases. No drama.
What is Apple TV+ Anyway?
Glad you asked! Inside the Apple TV app is Apple TV+, which is Apple’s streaming service loaded with exclusive original shows and movies made by some of the most creative brains in Hollywood.
You’ll find shows like:
- The Morning Show (drama and tea, anyone?)
- Dickinson (poetry + sass)
- Little America (big stories from everyday lives)
Fire TV users can subscribe via any Apple device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc.) or straight from tv.apple.com. Once you’re in, you can stream all that magic right on your Fire TV.
How Do I Download the Apple TV App on Fire TV?
Simple. Just say:
“Alexa, find the Apple TV app.”
Or go the classic route and search for “Apple TV” from the Fire TV search icon.
And if you’re feeling fancy, you can even send the app directly to your Fire TV from Amazon’s website.
Compatible Devices (A.K.A. What Works and What Doesn’t)
You’re good to go if you own one of these:
- Fire TV Stick (2nd Gen or newer)

🔁 Upgrade Tip!
Got an old device? You can check out Amazon’s trade-in program to save some cash when you upgrade to a newer Fire TV that can support the Apple TV app. Smart move, right?
