Don’t forget Hallmark Channel, one of my absolute favorites! They have Christmas Movies 24/7, I love it!
What are your favorites? Can’t wait to hear it! As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!
Thank you for the list! Some of my holiday favorites are on and I can’t wait to watch them with my girls.
I love Christmas movies. We always watch Rudolph. My favorite is Meet Me In St. Louis with Judy Garland.
This is such a great list! We are all about Christmas shows in our house. This weekend we watched a classic, Home Alone!
thanks for SHARING THIS AWESOME LINEUP OF SHOWS!! I AM PRINTING THIS LIST NOW FOR ME AND THE KIDLETS!
Still can’t go wrong with all the Charlie Brown specials, such a touchstone to my childhood.
Great list and so helpful to have ! I always get worried that I am going to miss my fave, now I can record them all! Thank You
I’ve been ODing on the Hallmark channel lately. I love Holiday movies. My second favorites are Charlie Brown and the Grinch. I never miss those two shows.
These are great picks! Definitely adding these to our schedule!
We love to watch The Nightmare Before Christmas every year. I love to cuddle with the kids and watch movies. We make a bunch if treats as well.
This is a fantastic list of movies. We always watch It’s a Wonderful Life on Christmas Eve together.
Elf can always make my day, and I love sharing the classics with the grandchildren. Dolly Parton’s Christmas of many colors was really good and I will be adding that to our must watch list each year.
Thank you! I am saving this for the kids so we know when our favorites are on!
Thank you so much for this list! This is my favorite time of year to watch movies. I can’t wait to watch all of my favorites.
I love all the Christmas specials this time of the year. I am a huge fan of them. I have already watched the CMA Country Christmas and Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors. I am looking forward to the A Christmas Story Marathon. I love that movie!
These are some great ones! I love watching Christmas movies/shows. They’re the best ones to watch.
It is a tradition that I watch Home Alone 2: Lost in New York every Christmas season. I love that movie and it never gets old.
It’s a Wonderful Life is my favorite! I can’t wait to watch “Taraji’s White Hot Holidays” this year! She’s awesome!
I am totally up for watching The Great American Baking Show. It’s the type of program my mom and I enjoy watching together.
This is a great list, and one I’ll be referring to often. I love watching holiday shows as a family.
So much to watch! I’m so glad the Great British Baking Show is back – American style!
Looks like a good list!
We have been wanting to find “Earnest saves Christmas” to watch with our kids but that one is a little harder to find than we thought it would be.
What a great list. I don’t think you missed any of my favorites! Love this season!
Fun list! Christmas Story Marathon is my favorite!
I love watching the great Christmas light fight. Where I live there actually is one place that will be on the show. I cannot wait to see it in person. I love going and checking out houses that are lit up for Christmas.
You know, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen the I Love Lucy holiday special- I’m definitely going to check that out. Thanks for the great round up!
Great list. Sad i missed a few of these but glad to have TV on demand to catch them. I do enjoy a good Christmas show.
That’s so awesome! Thanks so much for sharing this. I’m all about the Christmas Specials this time of year. I watch them so much, my family actually runs away. LOL
Great resource list. Home Alone, Elf and Miracle on 34th Street are my favs!
I am not usually a TV watcher, but this time of the year is the best. I can’t wait to watch the I love Lucy special and watch Elf on repeat!
