I want to wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow festive fans celebrating in America today. May your celebration be blessed, bountiful and full of joy–whether you’re celebrating with loved ones or you’re solo this year. I’m thankful for your support, and I look forward to enjoying the rest of the holiday season with each and every one of you.

Now, it’s time for me to catch that encore of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Stay Merry,

Just because the Christmas fun started back in October doesn’t mean Hallmark doesn’t have some Thanksgiving fun in the works! Candace Cameron Bure is set to host a giant 9 Night Thanksgiving Celebration that spans 2 networks; both the Hallmark Channel and its sister network Hallmark Movies & Mysteries next week.

On Saturday, November 17th, Candace will kick-off the first ever Hallmark Movies & Mysteries Miracles of Thanksgiving celebration, a 4-night spectacular of all-new holiday premieres–including: “Return to Christmas Creek”, “A Godwink Christmas”, “Last Vermont Christmas” and “Hope at Christmas”. Check out the full lineup here.

The 2012 favorite, “Love at the Thanksgiving Day Parade” starring Autumn Reeser and Antonio Cupo, will have an early airing on Wednesday, November 21st at 7AM/6c.

But, wait, there’s more!

We’re only weeks away from Thanksgiving day, which means prep for the annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is well under way. Millions of families across the U.S. will tune in on Thursday, November 22nd, to watch the nation’s biggest and most anticipated holiday celebration hosted by Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker of NBC’s “Today”–and the star-studded lineup has been announced!

Among the list of performers: Kelly Clarkson, Bad Bunny, Barenaked Ladies, Bazzi, Ally Brooke, Kane Brown, Brynn Cartelli, Jack & Jack, John Legend, Leona Lewis, Ella Mai, Tegan Marie, Martina McBride, Rita Ora, Carly Pearce, Pentatonix, Anika Noni Rose and the cast and Muppets of “Sesame Street,” Diana Ross with her children and extended family (including Rhonda Ross, Tracee Ellis Ross, Chudney Ross, Ross Naess and Evan Ross with wife Ashlee Simpson-Ross), Sugarland, Ashley Tisdale, Mackenzie Ziegler and Johnny Orlando.

Here you will find a comprehensive list of all the holiday movies and specials that will be airing on US television during the Christmas season. Air dates are listed where possible, but if you see TBA (To Be Announced) 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 & 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!

This year has been a bumpy one, but there are still many things I’m grateful for and I plan on celebrating them with my loved ones this evening. For now, I’m off to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. I hope you have a wonderful holiday…the countdown to Christmas is really on now!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my festive friends who celebrate the holiday!
I hope you have a blessed day with your loved ones! #GobbleGobble

The ABC Television Network will kick off the holiday season with the classic half-hour animated PEANUTS special, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 24 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on ABC. In the 1973 special, “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving,” created by late cartoonist Charles M. Schulz, Charlie Brown wants to do something special for the gang. However, the dinner he arranges is a disaster when the caterers, Snoopy and Woodstock, prepare toast and popcorn as the main dish. Humiliated, it will take all of Marcie’s persuasive powers to salvage the holiday for Charlie Brown.

A special bonus cartoon from Charles M. Schulz, “This Is America, Charlie Brown: The Mayflower Voyagers,” will air with the PEANUTS classic, in which history comes to animated screen life in a captivating and informative program about the Mayflower voyagers.
