Anyone else feeling some disappointment in this years countdown line up? And why was it reduced to only SEVEN DAYS?

I understand this is the “countdown” to 25 Days of Christmas but Hunger Games? They are already airing this as part of the 13 Nights of Halloween. And Paranorman? Toy Story of Terror?

Seriously hoping the actual “25 Days of Christmas” is much, much better.

    Very disappointed!

    Dark shadows?!, Toy Story of Terror?!, Mirror Mirror?!, Pixar Movies?!

    How is that Christmas programming?!

    I’ll be tuning into Hallmark this November and watching Netflix for the ABC family Christmas movies.

    Such a shame

    The countdown is only 5 days? Where are the Christmas shows? Did you mix up the holiday with Halloween? I won’t be tuning in that’s for sure if this is the line up. Hallmark here I come!

    Not saying that there aren’t some fun things to watch, but I count 2 Christmas-themed shows.

    Of course with the Hallmark channels showing Christmas movies starting on Halloween, it might be smart to counter program.

    But this certainly wasn’t what I expected.

    So when does the regular 25 days of Christmas lineup usually come out?

    This is the WORST line-up of Christmas themed movies I’ve ever seen! Hunger Games? Seriously?! Toy Story of Terror? Yeah, that sounds like a family Christmas movie! Who’s in charge of programming at ABC Family? I think they may secretly working for the competition! That’s the only logical explanation.

      You all need to count a bit better 🙂 25 days of Christmas would start on December 1 and go for 25 days. This isn’t accurate, and the correct schedule can be found by simply googling 25 days of Christmas abc famy. The schedule is great 🙂
