Tune In To These Holiday Hits On TV

The holidays“>holidays”>holidays”>holidays can be a stressful time, what with inclement weather, having to afford presents, and deciding what holiday movie to watch on your favorite streaming service. Believe it or not, there are “channels” on “TV” that actually air holiday programming without you having to think about it!

Let’s face it, some of us spend more time scrolling through the options of movies on streaming services, from Netflix to HBO Go to Amazon Prime, than we do actually watching whatever we decide. Add the debate amongst another person, let alone family, and you’re looking at a recipe for disaster. We hope to alleviate some of the stress from your holidays by giving you this handy guide of what channel you can turn to for some holiday entertainment, as well as catch some holiday commercials to inspire you and your gift-giving.

Here’s hoping you have happy holiday viewing, and let us know your favorites in the comments!

This list will be updated regularly.
