Christmas Time is here again and now you can celebrate with The Beatles.

The iconic British rock band’s songs will finally be available across nine major streaming services starting at midnight on Dec. 24 just in time for Christmas Eve, according to the group’s website. Until recently, The Beatles music has been sold exclusively on CDs, cassette tapes, and records — even though their music has endured well into the digital age and no one knows what an 8-track is anymore.

The Fab Four‘s albums first became available on Apple’s(AAPL) iTunes service in 2010 and sold more than 2 million songs in their first week. Now you’ll be able to find them on Apple Music, Spotify (SPOTIFY), Google Play (GOOGL), Tidal, Amazon Prime (AMZN), Slacker, Groove, Rhapsody, and Deezer.

Beatles drummer Ringo Starr announced the news via Twitter (TWTR) on Wednesday.

Are you ready Christmas Eve 12:01 AM we are coming to you from out of the blue peace and love peace love. 😎✌️🌟💖👽😄🎂🌺 pic.twitter.com/JMVSPrrvkT
