    It’s because they are trying to push people over to their liberal “Freeform” channel…get em hooked with Christmas shows, and then the liberal indoctrination marches on…sad!

    Well, it is really sad. In the middle of a pandemic year, kids can’t leave the house,you decide to limit all the great Christmas classics for them. God bless your tiny little selfish hearts.It would be one thing if you actually came up with great programming to replace them. But, you have not. Greedy, selfish,and as usual,not looking out for the children and families in general.They need these programs that make them laugh and give a sense of security and hope. Please stop referring to yourselves as “the family channel” ie. “American housewife” is about as crass as you get. What a great role model to Mothers and their children. it would be a nice break to get away from your problems for a while, at least over the holidays,like TV used to. What a novel idea, right?

    I think it’s sad that you’ll show crime shows all year but at Christmas time you hardly show anything for families to enjoy together like classic Christmas cartoons and movies

    I would like to see Borrowed Hearts and A Season for Miracles. You show the same ones over and over again. Home Alone needs to be retired for a while.

      A Season for Miracles is a Hallmark movie. Look for it on the Hallmark channels.
