Halloween is over, meaning it’s time to prepare for the Christmas season! Disney’s Freeform even announced its 2021 25 Days of Christmas lineup, including multiple airings of the Home Alone movies, plenty of Santa Claus-themed shows, and other Disney-related fun. The Nightmare Before Christmas will also get plenty of airings to please those who still want some horror mixed in with their holiday cheer.
The festivities kick off on Wednesday, Dec. 1 bright and early at 7 a.m. with Holiday in Handcuffs, a 2007 made-for-TV movie starring Melissa Joan Hart and Mario Lopez, produced when Freeform was still ABC Family. The first day of December will also see all three of Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause movies airing back-to-back-to-back. Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York will also air on Dec. 1, beginning at 5:50 p.m. Some of the other movies popping up in the schedule this year include Arthur Christmas, Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Jingle All the Way, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, and Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmas.

Anyone hoping for some new Christmas programming from Disney for the Freeform line-up will be a little disappointed. The schedule leans heavily on perennial favorites. The only Freeform premiere this year is Office Christmas Party, which will air on Dec. 14 at 8:30 p.m. and Dec. 15 at 11 a.m. It’s a little surprising that the movie would air on Freeform since it was originally rated R when it hit theaters, but holiday hijinks have probably been edited so it can air in the middle of the day. Office Christmas Party is a Paramount movie starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Munn, and Jennifer Aniston. Scroll on for a look at the full schedule.
