Please add each year Mimi Rogers Christmas list
I agree it was a fun and very jolly Christmas movie. I would be very excited to see it again.
I agree! I want to see The Christmas List with Mimi Rogers!
100% agree! What a wonderful movie, but I can’t find it anywhere!
I totally agree. Please, please show The Christmas List with Mimi Rogers. It’s one of my favorites. And please put it on DVD. Let’s hope the people at Disney read the Website and listen to us all. Thank you.
YES! Would love to see The Christmas List each year!
With all the movies Disney has and all the great Christmas movies and classics available, why are the same movies on night after night? and year after year?
I would love to see The Christmas List again. It hasn’t aired since 2012 and isn’t available on DVD. Is there a chance this could happen at some point?

IS THE NUTCRACKER ON TV THIS CHRISTMAS? I WOULD LOVE TO SEE A CLASSIC PRODUCTION OF THIS BEAUTIFUL BALLET AGAIN! PLEASE REPLY!
Very disappointed with this lineup this year. Looking for classics like “The Christmas List” with Mimi Rogers, Polar Express, Home Alone, Elf, and Christmas Vacation. Will be tuning in elsewhere this year.
AMC has definitely offered better shows this year over Freeform. We usually look forward to tuning into Freeform, but ever since it switched from being ABC Family, this year especially, the shows have been lacking that classic Christmas quality. I even noticed this morning while watching Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too and the cartoon has been modified. Christopher Robin now has an accent, but for not in the 1991 version. What’s the point with changing this children’s classic? Bring back Christmas Vacation, Polar Express, Home Alone 1 and 2, etc. Very few people care about movies like Life Size and Hone Alone 3. We will continue to watch AMC and TBS this year.
I agree! What a disappointing line up! What happened to the classics? Christmas Vac, Polar Exp, Elf, Home Alone? What’s with these crappy generic movies? Let me guess…someone’s offended by the classic!!?
Would like to watch the 1997 version of the Christmas List
starring Mimi Rogers. Dvd not available
You used to post the word of the day for bonus Disney Reward points, are you still doing that. I have watched the first hour of todays movie and haven’t seen the word.
This is seriously the most disappointing line up Ive ever seen. I look forward to 25 days of Christmas all year long. I PRAY another station picks up where you all lacked this year.
I was super excited that I have cable again and could watch the 25 days of Christmas. Boy was I very disappointed when I looked at the schedule. It is the same movies and shows over and over and over. I used to get excited to see what show would be on the next day. I know that they used to play a lot more variety of shows like the old Grinch. I am not sure why they think everyone wants to watch the new Grinch every other day. All of the older shows are playing at 7 in the morning, do you think that those of us that want to watch those shows are so old that we wouldn’t be up to play it at night? 😉 I am sad to say I won’t be tuning in this year. I hope next year they take all of our comments into consideration and play new shows each day instead of the ones they played two days ago. There are so many great Christmas shows that maybe we would want our kids to see from our child hoods and we could watch it as a “family”.
Is there any way you guys could play some of the classic Christmas shows(classic to me lol) like: lampoons Christmas vacation, The Christmas Story, The original How the Grinch stoke Christmas, It’s a wonderful life, Home Alone 1&2, Frosty the snowman, Rudolph Red nose Reindeer, Santa Claus is coming to town. It’s a wonderful life. Those to me are good ol’ Christmas movies! Doesn’t look like none of those are playing this year 🙁
