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
