By Patrick Cavanaugh

Everyone has their own traditions when it comes to celebrating holidays, and while it's unclear exactly when the tradition began, a number of networks over the decades have taken to celebrating New Year's Eve by broadcasting dozens of installments from Rod Serling's original The Twilight Zone, with this year being no different, as SYFY will be broadcasting episodes of the sci-fi series starting on December 31st and through January 2nd. Given the various unexpected events that have happened in the world throughout 2020, some fans have felt like they were living through their own version of The Twilight Zone, with some viewers likely welcoming the sci-fi series while others will surely avoid it, as installments might echo real-world events.

With the marathon airing 24 hours a day, fans surely won't be able to tune in to every single installment, but knowing that you can tune your TV to SYFY whenever you can't think of what to watch to ring in the new year will be a welcome dose of nostalgia for viewers.
