Freeform's "Kickoff to Christmas" Is Full Of Family Cheer
The holiday season is slowly but surely approaching, which means soon enough our televisions will be filled with nothing but seasonal films and specials. As always, one network is outdoing the others with a month-long programming to gear you and your family up for the Christmas season. Freeform's "Kickoff to Christmas" lineup includes all of the classics, including Tim Burton's A Nightmare Before Christmas.
The fun begins at noon on Nov. 1 with 2014's live action Paddington, followed by some classic animated films like The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Cars, and Zootopia. Other favorites like Mrs. Doubtfire, Finding Nemo, Matilda, and Frozen will air later on in the month, as you will see in the full lineup listed below.
Parents can also enjoy a few goodies once the kids are tucked in for the night. Disney's Fairytale Weddings will be airing, as well as The Blind Side, Iron Man, and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Plus, on Nov. 12, the first three Home Alone films will air back-to-back starting at 5:50pm.
Check out the full list of Freeform's "Kickoff to Christmas" lineup below, and be sure to set your DVR just in case you miss anything!
