Reminder: This was the press release sent out by Freeform. I do not endorse all of the films listed above. Hopefully, though, you will see some Christmas favorites from the past that you will enjoy.
While it's always delightful to see "Home Alone" and "The Santa Clause" trilogy, I'm also quite happy to see "Miracle on 34th Street" (1994) will be airing, as well. There's just something so warm and special about that movie... I love how they incorporate "In God We Trust" into the defense of Santa Claus. I will look forward to watching it again and many other beloved Christmas classics this Holiday Season on Freeform.
Joyous Blessings! Net
I don't see "The Year Without a Santa Claus." Who is showing that this year?
ReplyDeleteDana, I'm not sure, yet. AMC may have it, but I don't see it in there November schedule.
DeleteThey are playing these Christmas cartoons... The Life & Adventures Of Santa Claus, Pinocchio's Christmas, The First Christmas: The Story Of The First Christmas Snow, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas, etc...
If I see it, I'll be sure to share it in the schedule.
Dana, I happened to catch "The Year Without a Santa Claus" on TBS over the weekend. Hopefully, they will air it again. They have it on their web-site, and you can watch it there for free.

I seen this earlier today when the list first came out and I am SOO happy! They actually listened to fans and brought back some of the old classics we love while including our favorites we watch all the time. I ALWAYS watch Home Alone 1 & 2 and all 3 Santa Clauses every year and The Grinch from 2018 but I am SO happy they're playing HOLIDAY IN HANDCUFFS!, Snow, Snow 2, Christmas Cupid, Snowglobe, Christmas In Boston, Stealing Christmas, Mickeys Once Upon A Christmas, Mickeys Twice Upon A Christmas and a lot of the Rankin Bass classics! (Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer, Frosty The Snowman, Santa Claus Is Coming To Town, The Little Drummer Boy) and Miracle On 34th Street and Call Me Claus & Prep Landing 1 & 2! This is SO exciting! They never have ELF but I am shocked they don't have 2000s How The Grinch Stole Christmas with Jim Carrey, they usually include that and the 2018 The Grinch during 25 days of Christmas not just one of them. I am really happy with this line up, this is the first time in awhile they brought back old classics for the month, wish they also would have included Christmas With The Kranks and the first Jingle All The Way since they have the 2nd JATW a lot but thats totally fine because I own all of them on DVD/Blu ray and a digital copy too but how exciting. Going to be a great line up this year. They finally listened to fans that wanted the classics back and we got them as well as our big always seasoned favorites! Woohoo!!!
ReplyDeletesome wonderful modern classics in there
ReplyDeleteThis comment is about a Lifetime movie. It was on last weekend. It is an old movie but new to me. A Gift Wrapped Christmas is a movie I will watch over and over again. I watched again last night. Planning to look for the DVD.
ReplyDeletekitkat, I also absolutely adore A Gift Wrapped Christmas! It's my very favorite Lifetime Christmas movie! Gwen is sooooo adorable and Charlie Baker is great, too! Glad to hear you also love it! :)
DeleteI sure wish they would put it on DVD, but unfortunately, it's only available through Prime Video.
Lifetime still has it on YouTube free to watch...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rp-DoteKZtg
Thanks Net! I will pray my DVR never dies. Happy to hear it is on YouTube.
Deletekitkat, I loved it, too!! Net and Alicia mentioned it a couple weeks ago, so I watched it on youtube and loved it. And then when they just played it on tv last weekend I taped it on my Verizon cable dvr and also through my FrndlyTv dvr so I can have fun watching it again.
