Before “25 Days of Christmas” on Freeform in December, the network is launching some holiday pre-game programming with Kickoff to Christmas, a month-long slate that kicks off on November 1st.

While there won’t be many actual Christmas movies that air every day just yet, we will get a lot of festive fun thrown in with quite a few films–including: “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (2000), “Deck the Halls” (2006), Disney’s “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” (1998), Disney’s “A Christmas Carol” (2009), the network premiere of “Love the Coopers” (2015) and the 1994 classic “The Santa Clause” as well as its third installment–I’m not sure why they aren’t airing the second film.

“The Truth About Christmas”, Freeform’s new original film, will also have its premiere on Sunday, November 25th (9:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST).

The movie stars Kali Hawk as Jillian, a successful political consultant confident in her ability to put a spin on anything, whose next big project is the upcoming mayoral campaign for her boyfriend George (Damon Dayoub). On the way to meet George’s family for the first time during the holidays, an unusual confrontation with a toy store Santa results in a drastic change in Jillian where she can’t stop herself from wildly spilling the truth. Ali Ghandour co-stars as George’s brother Blake, who believes you should always be true to yourself but thinks Jillian just might be losing it. Jillian must find a way to make it stop before her holidays, her job and her relationship are ruined.
