ABC Family - 25 Days of Christmas!

[clairebear]

I know, i know its a little early but check out the schedule this year!! And the countdown actually starts on the 10th (next Tuesday)...Its also finally starting to get cold here and i cant help starting to get a little excited about Christmas...

They showed a live action remake of 'Year Without a Santa Claus' staring John Goodman as Santa and Delta Burke as Ms Claus.

Even though it's not on the list, I do hope they show it again this year. I thought it to be pretty good as far as the holiday specials go.

Not too bad, I guess.
I'm glad someone got the rights to air "Once Upon A Christmas" and it's sequel, those were good movies, I remember when PAX tv first aired them.
Santa Baby was cute, but why a sequel to it, i'll never know.

[NeverNeverland]

Yay!

A couple of my favorite cheesetastic movies are on the list. I always watch The Christmas List and I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. I didn't see Borrowed Hearts on there but hopefully it'll show up somewhere.

If not, there is always Lifetime and Lifetime movie network for that movie. At times in December last year, I couldn't change a channel without seeing that movie on one station or another.

The schedule on there right now is only the "Countdown" to the 25 days of Christmas. I'm sure the "actual" 25 days of Christmas will have more.

Yeah agreed, christmas is the best time for cheesetastic movies cause no one can judge you.. Im pretty excited for The Dog who Saved Christmas during the countdown since its an original.. ive pretty much seen all the rest of them but am excited nonetheless

and yes, that is just the countdown schedule

I haven't seen those 2 Charlie Brown movies in ages!

Haven't seen Meet the Robinsons yet so looking forward to finally watching.

I wonder if Annie is the awesome early 80's version or the awful remake.

^^^^ Aimster, I recently watched Meet the Robinson's for the first time a month or so ago when it was on Disney Channel. It is pretty good. I especially hope imagineers look to it for inspiration for Tomorrowland attractions. Not necessarily MtR attractions, but ideas to make futuristic attractions.

Love the 80s version too,(with Aileen Quinn as Annie and Carol Burnett as Ms. Hannigan)! But I am pretty sure it will be the 1999 remake, with Victor Garber as Daddy Warbuck and Cathy Bates as Ms. Hannigan, since that one takes place at Christmas and is by Disney.

I'm dying to see that T-Rex. "I have a BIG head and LITTLE arms!"

Eww. Hated that one. I couldn't even watch the whole thing. The 80's version was FAR superior, even though the remake was more true to the original Broadway show.

I'm kind of confused by some of their choices like Harry Potter, Cars, Incredibles, Meet the Robinsons, etc. I don't really see those as Christmas-y. I can kind of get behind the family theme but still I think it's a stretch.

Here's a link to the actual schedule for the actual 25 days, not just the countdown or whatever they have on the website: http://www.abcfamilymedianet.com/doc...sRelease09.pdf

Looks like they're premiering The Santa Clause 3 (which I figured they would this year) and Unaccompanied Minors (I'm really not 100% sure what this movie is)
The Pixar Short collection is played a couple times
There's also like 3 new original movies... which are always subpar so we'll have to see.

Anyway, looking forward to it. I'm a nerd and I've been ready to celebrate christmas for too long. I might have watched Ernest Saves Christmas today... maybe *shifty eyes* :P

So who watched "The Prince & Me 3: Holiday Honeymoon" last night? I thought the 2nd one was bad, but this one was really awful.
