Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas Schedule Is Finally Here (And We Can’t Wait for December)

A beloved tradition among many families is the advent calendar, which offers up a small treat every day in December leading up towards Christmas, and Freeform has their own spin on the concept with their 25 Days of Christmas. In the network’s case, fans will be treated to an all-new day of holiday-themed programming in the lead-up to Christmas, as Freeform celebrates a number of classics and contemporary fan-favorites. From the stop-motion special Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town to the ’90s favorite Home Alone and up through the 2018 Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch, there’s something for everyone in your house.

Per press release, “Good tidings Freeform brings, as the network celebrates the adored seasonal tradition of 25 Days of Christmas. The programming event returns to spread holiday cheer starting Sunday, December 1st. A delightful collection of Christmas favorites is being offered to make spirits bright, including Home Alone, The Santa Clause trilogy and Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000). Select airings of perennial favorite Home Alone will incorporate ‘pop-up’ facts about the classic holiday movie.”

“Jingle all the way with Disney family classics like Frozen, the Toy Story franchise and Disney’s A Christmas Carol. Other holiday faves airing throughout the month include Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street (1994), Arthur Christmas, plus Rankin-Bass’ beloved specials, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town, plus much more!
