Movie Trailer
Question who are the idiots who are programming the Christmas shows for 2017. They should be fired
Where are the traditional Christmas shows?
I totally agree!!!
I totally agree, I’ve not found any traditional christmas movies and I have spectrum cable. Shame on the stations for not having the traditional christmas movies. It doesn’t feel like christmas without those.
I agree not everyone has Cable i would love to see the original here in the Detroit area.
Totally agree
can you please tell me if “Miracle on 34th st.” will be aired at all this 2016 holiday season??…thz..god bless.
I was looking for it as well, the only thing I found was HBO and one day……it really irks me that it is not on. Netflix only has the 1994 version which stinks. Very unhappy
I Totally Agree WHY doesn’t PAY TV show this classic Especially on TMC Channel 97 New York
Miracle on 34th st 1947
White Christmas, All the Old Original Movies we knew as youngsters.
With what I pay for TV Christmas Movies should be shown around Christmas.
When will Miracle on 34th Street be airing on AMC Channel?
I think it sucks their not showing this or a very brady Christmas on reg stations not everyone has hbo it should be shown on fox like every year they are trying to ruin christmas
The old Christmas movies are the best and what we were raised on! It’s very sad for the younger generation not to be able to see, enjoy and learn the magic of Miracle on 34th Street, The Bells of St. Marys, and so many more with Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye!!! Bring them back!!!
I don’t think this page even reads our comments. Except for us that post it goes unanswered, I posted on FB and sent to Public just to air my displeasure in this seasons line up. It’s a real shame, I remember when you couldn’t decide what to watch cause they were on all the same time, but at least they were on. Boomerang has a lot of the cartoons but if you don’t pay for it you can’t get them.
Merry Christmas to all that post
This is by far the best Christmas movie ever made. I have watched it so many times each Christmas I know the dialogue by heart. It puts you in that old fashioned Christmasy feeling. I wish things were like that today.
I am glad Miracle on 34 Street (1947)will be aired, but disappointed that it is only on once while other shows are constantly being repeated. It was not on last year which was totally wrong. What happened to all the good old movies and cartoons. It’s a shame, if you have any control could you please put it on more this season?
Hi Caryl, A Miracle on 34th Street will air multiple times in December on AMC… http://www.countdownuntilchristmas.com/channel/american-movie-classics-channel-amc/
We just haven’t had a chance to update this page yet 🙂
Yeah!!!!!!!! I can’t wait. It’s my FAVORITE movie besides Bishop’s Wife, the b&W one. For me Miracle on 34th Street is the heart of Christmas Movies……Thanks for the update……:)
I WANT TO SEE MIRACLE ON 34th STREET AND OTHER CHRISTMAS MOVIES BEFORE JANUARY,,,,YEAH IT HAS DATES FOR 2015 I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE DATES BEFORE JANUARY.. I PAY BIG BUCKS FOR CABLE AND ALL THAT IS ON IS BULL SH+T,
I WANT TO SEE ALL THE OLD CHRISTMAS MOVIES….NOT REMAKES BY CRACK HEADS!!!!!
I still don’t see the original Miracle on 34th Street listed????
their not on less you pay for hbo or showtime its total bs
where does Miracle on 34th Street air this year….. 2016???
Unfortunately we have not seen it scheduled for any network this year 🙁
Love the old Christmas movies. Please air them.
Where is the original Miracle on 34th Street? I can’t believe it’s not on!
I think AMC stinks this year. Where are the old movies??? Mircle on 34th street! Hate it
what has happened to our beautiful Older Christmas movies?? Who made such a decision to take ALL of them off the air? and Miracle on 34th Street (the older version especially) can’t even be found on Netflix or anywhere except to buy it! I’m sorry, but BUYING the movie, jsut isn’t the same as knowing these old favorites will be on TV during the Holidays! There are other Hallmark older movies that show the tru meaning of Christmas – not like these newer movies that are just heart throb stories!
Bah-Humbug…. you are taking the Christmas tradition away… 🙁
Where is “Miracle on 34th Street”, “Holiday Inn”, “It’s a Wonderful Life”….????
Very upset for not having Miracle on 34th St. I look forward to watching this classic every year. Very disappointed…2013
We agree Joanie, hoping it gets added last minute.
That’s why I can’t find this movie. I look forward every year to watching this movie. Please will someone show this on T.V. AMC, where are you.
My family is very disappointed that the original “Miracle on 34th Street” i doesn’t appear to be on this year (2013). It was old when I was a child but still a great classic.
