Make way for more uplifting Christmas movies this holiday season as UPtv has revealed the network’s very merry Most Uplifting Christmas Ever lineup, kicking off on Friday, November 4^th!

To celebrate the most joyous time of the year, UPtv will be offering with more than 600 hours of holiday cheer which includes 17 Christmas movie premieres during themed weekends along with the second season of the reality series “Small Town Christmas”, and multi-platinum country artist Josh Turner’s King Size Manger Christmas music special.  You can also expect the return of the holiday staple, GilMORE the Merrier – a Thanksgiving week-long “Gilmore Girls” binge-a-thon that has become a favorite of network viewers across the country each year.

In addition to a plethora of yuletide entertainment, UPtv will run sweepstakes events, interactive Merry Movie Christmas Watch Parties every weekend with polls, quizzes and more chances to win, and daily surprises from network stars via a digital advent calendar beginning in December. The network also encourages you to check out UPliftSomeone.com, the destination for viewers to recognize those who uplift others, will be the hub for holiday content. UPtv asks viewers to share videos of themselves uplifting others by surprise and delight gift giving to friends, family, or even strangers, to help spread Christmas joy to those who could use some uplifting spirit this season.

There is a lot to look forward to as the holiday season quickly approaches, and that includes all of the merriment we’ll enjoy when it comes to movies and holiday specials!

UPtv has announced their joyous lineup for the annual Merry Movie Christmas programming event, which will include holiday romance tales, a sequel to a festive favorite, and the return of the “GilMORE the Merrier” binge-a-thon where viewers can watch around-the-clock episodes of the hit television show Gilmore Girls all Thanksgiving week-long!

This year’s event will feature nine world television movie premieres and two cable premieres amongst more than 500 hours of Christmas programming filled with cheer for the entire family, and it all kicks off on Saturday, November 6th!  Another fun element to the network’s offering this season is that each weekend will have a theme starting with a “Royal Christmas Weekend” celebration that includes the premiere of the third movie in the Christmas with a Prince franchise.

UPtv will also premiere a brand new reality series called Small Town Christmas, hosted by Megan Alexander, that will spotlight a different small town around the country to show how they ring in the Christmas season.

You’re going to need a big cup of coffee for this, and I suggest a Christmas blend because UPtv is giving you 7-days-straight of “Gilmore Girls” this Thanksgiving to kick off the holiday season.

For their annual GilMORE the Merrier programming, Scott Patterson, with a nod to his character, Luke, will host the marathon that’s slated to show all 153 episodes!

That’s right, all seven seasons–from start to finish–24 hours a day!
