WHEN WILL A WELCOME HOME CHRISTMAS SHOW AGAIN ON YOUR CHANNEL
WHEN WILL A WELCOME HOME CHRISTMAS SHOW AGAIN
I signed up for updates and I got one and it wasn’t a Christmas movie?
I want to see on lifetime Seasons of Love
When are you going to play Holiday switch ?
I lost Holiday Switch when I got a new DVR about 4 years ago. I look for it every year too. What’s up with that??
Hi, me again. Apparently I have too much time on my hands, to be doing this. But it appears that as I write this on 11/7/21, you’re missing MANY holiday movies that are scheduled for Lifetime. the first part of your Lifetime schedule, looks pretty good, up thru about November 29. But then you only show two more, one on 12/3 and another on 12/12. But on mylifetime.com, which apparently is the official Lifetime channel website, they show MANY more movies in December, including one every day in December, thru 12/25. Is this right, or am I missing something? Thank you.
Hi Steve, Lifetime (and many other channels) tend to change their schedules often during the holiday season so we only post a few weeks at a time to avoid any confusion when these changes are made.
ok, that’s reasonable, I suppose. Thanks for providing the service.
as i write this (noon on 11/5/21), looks like there’s something wrong with your schedule, namely the date of “Merry Liddle Christmas Baby”. It currently shows Saturday, November 17. But it’s between Friday, Nov 26 and Sunday Nov 28, so I’m thinking you mean Saturday Nov 27, right?
Yes thank you for catching that! All fixed.
This is a great site to reference what Christmas movies are out and to see if they are on TV and if the are possibly airing. However, unless I’m wrong this website doesn’t control the airing schedule of each individual television station or who sells what DVD. They just report what has been put out.
My favorite Christmas movie is “A Christmas Kiss” Why is it shown only once in October?! Certain movies are shown multiple times. So disappointing…..
Why is “The Christmas Shoes” only shown once in October? That is one of the most beautiful Christmas movies I have ever seen. Also, is the follow up movie going to show this year.
