It’s that time of year again. Freeform has released the full 25 Days of Christmas schedule for the annual holiday programming event. Starting December 1st, a bevy of holiday films will grace the Freeform airwaves from sun-up to sun-down, albeit with a few changes this year. As we previously reported, AMC is launching its own holiday programming event in 2018 and they were able to snatch away the licenses to previous 25 Days of Christmas staples like Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and The Polar Express. So you won’t find those movies on Freeform this year, as you have in years past.
However, Freeform’s 2018 lineup still boasts some fine holiday classics like The Santa Clause, The Holiday, and Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, as well as the stop-motion films The Little Drummer Boy and Santa Claus Is Comin’ To Town. There are also some unrelated Disney films thrown in for good measure like Toy Story marathons and The Incredibles, as well as Robert Zemeckis’ super creepy and oddly alluring A Christmas Carol and, for some reason, Jingle All the Way 2. The standout, however, is the addition of the delightful Paddington to the lineup. If you haven’t seen that movie, make a point to check it out.
Taking a look at the full schedule, the loss of Elf and Polar Express specifically are glaring, as those films usually got a lot of play. Freeform hopes to recover with some new original films like Life-Size 2 and No Sleep ‘Til Christmas, and you can take a look at the full schedule below.
