Here you will find a comprehensive list of all the holiday movies, specials and episodes that will be airing on US television during the Christmas season (and throughout the year!). Air dates are listed where possible, but if you see TBD (To Be Determined) then keep checking back to see when an air-date and time become available.

Please Note: This list will continue to be updated throughout the season, so please keep checking back!  Some networks (i.e. Hallmark, Lifetime & UPtv) will air their own original Christmas movies 24-hours a day with air-times that can change sporadically so, for those networks, I will include a link to their daily programming schedule to avoid making this post 3 miles long!

FYI: Christmas original movies from streaming services like Netflix and Disney Plus are available 365 days a year, so keep in mind the films that premiered last year are *typically* still streaming!

In just a few hours, we will be ringing in 2021 – in fact, some places already are!  While there were a few ‘highs’ in 2020, most of them were ‘lows’ …for some people more than others, but the whole world felt a lot of sorrow, fear and loss this year.  It was an anxious time.

I don’t know what’s in store for 2021, obviously I can’t tell the future, but I pray that there are many better days ahead of us.  I pray for the good health of my family and friends; I pray for you and your family and friends, and for everyone else all over the world — and I thank the essential workers who continue to do their massive part in helping us all get from day to day.

May this coming year be a time of growth and peace. Happy New Year – have a healthy and safe 2021! I’m off to do some last minute year-end cleaning before I watch Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC.

I’m definitely still in Christmas mode, but now I’ve got my kinara out and I’m ready for seven extra nights of light and joy with my loved ones!  I hope everyone out there celebrating the first night of Kwanzaa has a wonderful holiday.  May your seven nights shine bright with peace and UMOJA (unity)!

 
Stay merry!

BTS really is that group that keeps giving this holiday season!

On Christmas Day, six of the seven members (Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook — their band-mate Suga is recovering from surgery) of the South Korean music power group performed three of their popular songs at the 2020 SBS Gayo Daejeon Music Festival that they revamped into full holiday remixes complete with festive stage sets.

BTS opened with a sleigh-bell-adorned “Black Swan,“ which was beautifully performed on a ‘wintry frozen lake’ that then transitioned into a record shop setting surrounded by Christmas decor galore as they sang their new single, “Life Goes On”. Finally, the members walked out to dance in the snow covered streets to their #1 single, “Dynamite”.

This was fun and festive, and you have to see the cute way they included Suga in the performance!

I’ll be spending all day with my family; watching the Disney Parks Magical Christmas Celebration and movies, opening gifts, eating yummy food and just enjoying each other’s company.  It’s a blessing to be with people you love, because it hasn’t been an easy year and there’s been way too much loss.

As the song says, “Someday soon, we all will be together, if the fates allow. Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow. So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.” I hope you cherish every happy moment you can and #StayMerry.

Santa Claus is getting to work while I’ll be relaxing with my family and doing last minute prep before the big day! This year is, of course, very different for us — especially because it’ll be the first time we won’t be attending Midnight Mass at our church, but we will be watching from home. 🎄🌟

Christmas Eve Mass will air on NBC tonight from 11:30 p.m.-1 a.m. Viewers will be able to watch the Pope Francis-led mass from St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.

How are you spending Christmas this year, and what do you do on the night before Christmas?

Surprise! Jimin from the massively popular South Korean boy band, BTS, gave the ‘BTS ARMY’ (the name of their fanbase) an early Christmas present with the release of a solo holiday single, “Christmas Love”.  The super catchy pop song, with lyrics in both Korean and English, captures one’s love for the holiday season…so, don’t be surprised if you find yourself singing “Christmas, I love you!” as you wrap your remaining gifts.

Despite unprecedented changes we’ve all experienced this year, BTS has still managed to have a very busy year; from an online concert, to popular social webseries content, a new album, and the release of their #1 single “Dynamite” — which earned them a Grammy nomination, the group has still found time to spread some Christmas cheer, you know, in addition to the usual cheer they dish out daily.

Happy First Day of Winter! We are only days away from Christmas, and if you live in an area like me, you’ll be welcoming in the holiday surrounded by snow. This is our first ‘white Christmas’ in a few years — usually we only get some flurries on Christmas Eve, which is still beautiful.

No matter where you are, I hope you have a wonderful winter season and #StayMerry… and warm!

 
Stay merry!

Bethany Joy Lenz has gifted us a lot of holiday cheer this year!

The multi talented star of film, stage and sound lead the hilarious rom-com, Five Star Christmas, alongside Victor Webber for Hallmark Channel all while preparing a Christmas EP.

Joy just released Snow, a heart-warming collection of festive songs that include four originals by Joy that truly feel like timeless holiday favorites. The EP also features musical appearances from Anthony Evans on the track “My Christmas with You, and Joy’s own daughter, Maria Rose, on “Listen”.

I’m usually on top of my holiday game every year, but like many of you, this year has been a trying one; it has felt like constant moving, just within my own home, this season. The holiday rush is my favorite kind of busy, but it will be nice to sit back and take a few days to regroup …and we are only a week away from that.  The whole Christmas season brings me joy, but there’s something about that last week before Christmas where the cheer feels like it’s at a Level 25. I can’t explain it, but it’s usually one of my favorite weeks of the year…even though it always seems like I have a million things to do.

I’m going to try and slow down a bit to take everything in… finish up any decor, get some more Festive Fashion posts up, watch some of the Christmas movies I’ve missed and maybe get a jump on my end of the year cleaning so that I don’t take 2020’s mess into 2021… we had enough of that, haven’t we?

Stay merry!
