Classic architecture :

lib/streams.js

Streams = new Meteor.Collection("streams"); 

server/streams.js

Meteor.publish("streams", function () {

client/streams.js

Meteor.subscribe("streams");

Template.body.helpers({
  streams: function(){
    return Streams.find();
  }
});

You need to define Streams on the client as well.

if(Meteor.isClient) {
   Streams = new Meteor.Collection("streams"); 
   Meteor.subscribe("streams");
   Template.body.helpers = function(){
     return Streams.find();
   }
}
