I would like to see Mickey’s Christmas Carol come back on in time for Christmas on free form channel

what channel is the 25 days of christmas
Home alone 1 and home alone 2 and home alone the holiday heist and home alone 3 and home alone 4
Over the last 2-3 years Freeform/ ABC Family has really let me down. I was so accustomed to waiting for the schedule and waiting for the shows to begin. You guys got away from the originals that put you on the map and started a new theme. Rankin-Bass/ Hanna barbera / Peanuts/ Looney Tunes/ Scooby Doo/ Flintstones / Mizer Brothers. Where are these shows. Please get back to the originals. So disappointing.
I kind of stopped watching it long ago, once it became apparent it was nothing but endless reruns of Santa Claus with Tim Allen Home Alone movies elf and the like. Would love to see some of the rarer, harder to find ones, like the 1973 TV movie version of Miracle on 34th Street which hardly anybody knows about. Or a dream for Christmas a 1973 TV movie that’s very good. The original homecoming TV movie about The Waltons, the tv specials in the 70s called the house without a Christmas tree, with Jason Robards Mildred natwick and Lisa Lucas. They actually did two others the Thanksgiving treasure and Addie and the King of Hearts all with Lisa Lucas. Can’t remember the last time any of these saw the light of day on broadcast TV. You may be able to find them on YouTube online and watch them if you’re lucky. So much good stuff from the 70s..
The program schedule person is an idiot!
If it wasn’t for Home Alone or The Santa Clause, the 25 Days of Christmas would be a single afternoon.
Truly disappointed in your 2021 25 days of Christmas line up and have been for some time. I miss “Three Days” and “Borrowed Hearts” They were both sweet and magical and testaments to the power of love. Can’t find them on DVD and don’t have Disney+ so I’m up the creek! Why repeat the same stuff all the time? That’s not a special lineup; it’s the usual cable tv crap!
I can get other classic Christmas movies on commercial stations like “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Miracle on 34th Street” and have access to the DVD of “A Charlie Brown’s Christmas,” but these should be widely on tv at this time. I also miss “Eloise at Christmas,” also sweet and funny. One thing I haven’t seen in years that bears repeating is “The Homecoming” with Patricia Neal which was a beautiful introduction to the Walton family stories then made into a popular series. Show some classics-have some respect for tradition!
