'Scooby-Doo, Where Are You Now?'
One of the biggest new titles coming to The CW this season is the one-hour special Scooby-Doo, Where Are You Now? It premiered at the end of October but a special encore presentation will kick off the official Christmas schedule on the network.
The special finds Scooby-Doo and the gang revisiting the set of their old show at Warner Bros. Studios to reminisce when they discover that there is a mystery afoot that very night. Some special guest stars help the gang uncover the truth on set, including Young Sheldon's Iain Armitage, Queer Eye's Jerry Beck and Karamo Brown and "Weird Al" Yankovic.
'The Waltons' Homecoming'
The next new title of the season is The Waltons' Homecoming, which is the story of a young man's experience of Christmas in the Depression Era of 1933. Teenage John Boy (Logan Shroyer) goes out looking for his father (Ben Lawson) in a brutal snowstorm of Christmas Eve, along with his mother (Bellamy Young). It fits in nicely with the story set out in The Waltons, and is one of the most anticipated new Christmas movies of the year.
'Beebo Saves Christmas'
The CW is breaking all boundaries by giving the fuzzy toy-turned-hero Beebo his own Christmas special this year. After his recent appearance on DC's Legends of Tomorrow, the little blue icon voiced by Chris Kattan will set out to save the holidays this year as well. Other stars include Ernie Hudson as Santa Claus, Kimiko Glenn as Tweebo, Yvette Nicole Brown as Turbo and Keith Ferguson as Fleabo.
'Christmas Around the World'
Dean Cain and Laura McKenzie host the new special Christmas Around the World, which showcases different Christmas traditions in different cultures — both contemporary and historical. It will touch on the traditional meals, rituals and stories that make the holiday great, while also exposing viewers to some holiday performances they might otherwise have missed.
The 89th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade
Finally, for those still dying for any live events they can get their hands on after two years of quarantine, The CW will broadcast The 89th Annual Hollywood Christmas Parade on Friday, Dec. 17. Cain and McKenzie are co-hosts of this event as well, along with Erik Estrada, Montel Williams and special co-host Elizabeth Stanton.
The CW's full holiday schedule is listed above, including re-runs in case you miss one of the programs on its premiere date. You can also stream the network with The CW app on Roku, Apple TV, FireTV and other streaming devices.
