I can’t wait for the schedule release!!! I really am praying they will not air home alone so much, let alone TWICE A DAY. The Halloween lineup for 2022-23 were so filled with variety, but 2022 Christmas wasn’t but I hope 2023 is. I guess we’ll see possibly tomorrow November 1. I’m so excited! ✝️🎄🎄✝️
I’m so excited! Thank you Freeform for bringing back the original Jingle All The Way and The Grinch 😁 and it’s not even during 25 Days of Christmas, it’s earlier than that.
This schedule so far is looking to be the best. I’m also happy they’re airing the star as I love that movie and is shows who really the holiday is for…. JESUS. I’m so happy.
I hope they still have the rights to Scrooged as well that one is much better on Freeform than AMC And its great to see Jingle All The Way
The Christmas List (1997) with Mimi Rogers is a great lighthearted Christmas movie. I’m tired of one whiny movie after another. This one is fun from start to finish.
Put it on the list this year and release it on DVD.
I totally agree , I wait each year to see if someone will show this movie again,. One of the best holiday movies ever!!!
NO! 25 Days of Christmas will begin in December 1st, remember?
I vote yes this one is a classic
Also Crazy for Christmas is a good movie too
I agree! Love this movie, but haven’t been able to find it for several years. Will it be available this year?
Each time your schedule says Frosty the Snowman the movie Life Size 2 A Christmas Eve plays. My daughter and I are so disappointed as Frosty is a Christmas tradition and favorite.
Please play 1994 miracle on 34th street and more often and bring back The Grinch with Jim Carrey. Thank you.
What about the Grinch movie???
Its on the 17th
