It’s going to be the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER all month long on AMC and AMC+ this season as the network gears up for around the clock holiday programming featuring some of your most beloved classic films — and a few new movies!

AMC’s “Best Christmas Ever” annual event begins on November 29 — December 25 with National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation star Beverly D’Angelo hosting this year’s film lineup. The slate will include over 55 titles and more than 575 hours of holiday programming as we count down the days until Christmas. AMC is the exclusive broadcast cable home in December to holiday favorites such as National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, The Polar Express, Four Christmases and Fred Claus.

You can also look forward to themed evenings (see more information below); original programming will be available on the streaming service AMC+ — including Kiera Knightley‘s Silent Night (also starring Matthew Goode, Roman Griffin Davis, Annabelle Wallis, Lily-Rose Depp, Ṣọpé Dìrísù, Kirby Howell-Baptiste, Lucy Punch, Rufus Jones and Trudie Styler) as well as Cape Cod Christmas and Christmas with Felicity.
