Here's Every Holiday Movie Airing On Freeform Starting Nov. 1
When most people think of channels that go all-in for the holidays, Hallmark and Lifetime come to mind. Both channels specifically cater to year's end fare, and both are known for releasing dozens of new holiday films every year. But Freeform is not far behind. The Disney-owned network is relatively new to the holiday scene, but it's jumped in with both feet, relying on a vast library of classic films and TV series that celebrate the winter season. This year's Freeform 2020 "Kickoff To Christmas" schedule is filled with classics for all ages, with titles that span nearly a century.
While most of its competitors begin debuting holiday fare before the end of October, Freeform's holiday lineup starts Nov. 1. That's partly because Freeform focused on Halloween first, giving those who love spooky season a full month's worth of content.
But once those pumpkin candles have burnt out on the stoop, watch out. Santa Claus arrives with a vengeance without even stopping for turkey. Moreover, his sleigh is filled with all sorts of family fare, from Christmas-themed flicks to films that merely debuted in theaters around Christmas, like The Hunger Games franchise. That means not all of these are strictly holiday movies, but that just means there's something for everybody on this year's list.
