ABC Family’s 2015 “25 Days of Christmas” begins December 1st
ABC Family has released the schedule for their annual “25 Days of Christmas” programming event! We have some good news and some bad news this year. The good news is Three Days AND The Christmas Shoes have been added to the line-up this year. However, The Christmas List has not.
A few non-Christmas movies were added in the mix including Harry Potter (on Christmas Day?), Willy Wonka, and the Toy Story movies.
The schedule is subject to last minute changes, which do on occasion occur.

What are your thoughts? Were your favorites included this year?
Thank you very much for your support (and for tolerating the ads) - I appreciate it!
The website made it impossible to print the calendar of the 25 days of Christmas. I have been able to print it prior to this year. Hope you correct this issue during the following years.
I don’t see Ebbie or Ebenezer on the list of Christmas movies. They are two of my favorites!
🙁
Looks like they listened. Last year, people were upset because Nestor, The Little Drummer Boy, and others weren’t played. I am very happy with this line-up.
Why dont you ever show The Christmas List?????
and 3days and Secret Santa early morning or only once and other movies
multiple times… Do you read comments or flip a coin on what to show.
We wish The Christmas List would be shown on TV again. It’s such a good movie.
Please add Rudolph and the misfit toys it is my favorite movie ever just change your lineup this year and add that movie
I look forward to the polar express being on Christmas eve but yet again it isn’t.
Don’t mean to hurt any feelings but from the looks of this lineup, thank goodness for the Hallmark Channels!!!
I agree! I guess it is better for young children than for adults. I have begged for The Christmas List for years but to no avail. It is such a lovely warm-hearted movie that captures the spirit of the season. Ah, well. Hallmark it is.
