While some got an early start in the summer, now that Halloween is over, the rest of the networks are revealing their holiday programming lineup, and to say I’m excited about what’s to come would be an understatement! ABC announced their plans for ‘the most wonderful of the year’ this morning with a jam-packed selection of festive themed episodes of your favorite network series, traditional holiday specials, original movies, and more.
Look out for Thanksgiving and Christmas-centered episodes for “black-ish”, “Modern Family“, “Stumptown”, “General Hospital”, and more, as well as the return of “The Great Christmas Light Fight” and “The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition”.
Trisha Yearwood will host this year’s “CMA Country Christmas” while Lea Michele will lead the original film, “Same Time, Next Christmas” alongside Charles Michael Davis and Bryan Greenberg–and no holiday season would be complete without the Peanuts gang so, make sure you tune in for the iconic specials,“A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving”, “A Charlie Brown Christmas”, “I Want a Dog for Christmas, Charlie Brown” and “Happy New Year, Charlie Brown”.
You can expect the yearly tradition of magical celebrations from Disney Parks, and once Santa Claus finishes his route, end the year with “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest”.
Updated (12/14/19): Added information for the “Live in Front of a Studio Audience: All in the Family & Good Times” special, which airs on Wednesday, December 18th.
It’s going to be quite the season — check out the full lineup below!
