Traditions are a large part of the holiday season, and one of the things my family looks forward to is the annual programming event: Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas! This morning the network revealed their holiday schedule as they countdown the days until Christmas, and it’s filled with holiday cheer!

Unfortunately, there aren’t any original films, episodes or specials on the schedule block, but that’s unsurprising due to the current state of the country — not everyone was able to get projects completed this year, I imagine. That said, Freeform still has a plethora of Christmas movies on the slate, including: “Home Alone,“ “The Santa Clause” trilogy, “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas,“ “Disney’s A Christmas Carol,” “Miracle on 34th Street” (1994), “Love Actually,“ and much more! We can also expect network premieres of “Almost Christmas,” “Dr. Seuss’ The Grinch” (2018) and “Daddy’s Home 2,“ among others.

You will also find classics, such as “Frosty The Snowman” and “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,“ including a special airing on Christmas Day.

For many, the Christmas season doesn’t start until after Thanksgiving, and for others, it kicks off after Halloween. No matter how you countdown, Freeform is ready to help you celebrate with their annual Kickoff to Christmas holiday programming slate …which officially kicks off on November 1st!

The network, known for their 25 Days of Christmas event, will be pregaming all of November with family favorites, festive episodes of your go-to shows, a few Christmas classics — including ALL THREE films in Tim Allen’s “The Santa Clause” series, an original Thanksgiving-themed film, “Turkey Drop”, and the premiere of the new holiday gift-wrapping reality competition, “Wrap Battle”.

Olivia Holt (“Marvel’s Cloak and Dagger”) has been announced as the lead for the upcoming Freeform movie, “Turkey Drop”, a Thanksgiving film slated for the network’s Kickoff to Christmas event.

In the Jerry Ciccoritti-directed film, when college freshman Lucy Jacobs (Holt) returns home for Thanksgiving break, she suspects she’s about to get turkey dropped—dumped by her high school sweetheart—during their holiday visit. To avoid a Turkey Day travesty, Lucy gets out of her comfort zone, proving she’s not the same play-it-safe girl she was with her high school boyfriend. As she takes control of her own life and makes choices that put herself first, she learns to let go of what’s been holding her back, helping achieve what she truly wants out of life.

The movie is set to premiere the Saturday before Thanksgiving, November 23rd at 9pm/8c during Freeform’s Kickoff to Christmas holiday programming event.

“Turkey Drop” is written by Tiffany Paulsen and produced by Jonas Prupas and Shane Boucher with executive producers Joel S. Rice and Lydia Storie of Muse Entertainment and Heroes and Villains Entertainment‘s Henry Huang.

Update 09/12/19: Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Ben Levin (“Legacies”) and Tyler Perez (“LA’s Finest”) have all joined the cast!  Hines will play Lucy’s vivacious, fun and outspoken mother, Nancy Jacobs while Levin will star as Dean, a longtime family friend crashing the Jacobs family Thanksgiving, and Perez will portray Jordan, Lucy’s high school sweetheart.

Stay merry!

Fans of Freeform’s “The Fosters” spin-off series, “Good Trouble” are in for a ‘good’ holiday season as PEOPLE announced today that the hit show would have a two-hour holiday special airing this season, entitled: “Christmas at the Coterie”. The series follows adoptive sisters Callie (Maia Mitchell) and Mariana (Cierra Ramierz) as they move to Los Angeles to start their first jobs post-college.

“We haven’t done a holiday episode yet and the idea of Christmas at the Coterie not only rolls off the tongue — but what’s a communal Christmas look like?” executive producer and co-creator Joanna Johnson told PEOPLE. “With everyone celebrating the holidays with their own traditions? Do they collide or commingle?”

According to Deadline, Freeform has announced an upcoming Christmas competition series “Wrap Battle”, which will be added to their 2019 holiday programming, 25 Days of Christmas.

In a holiday series showdown like no other, which is executive produced by Michael Levitt, the most gifted DIY-ers will be put to the test. In the elimination gift-wrapping competition, contestants battle it out to deliver amazing results in different challenges in every episode, with each vying to win $50,000. Get your scissors and two-sided tape ready, let’s get wrapping!
