Holiday Programming on Network TV

We want to go watch It's a Wonderful Life!Back at the beginning of October, we ditched our dish.  I’m not a huge TV watcher (no time, what with my internet addiction), so I wasn’t too sad to see it go,  until I realized that we are going to miss out on ABC Family’s Holiday lineup of Christmas classics.  So, I’ve spent a few hours mining the world wide web and have put together a schedule of the family friendly holiday shows airing on the “local” networks.

Please do double check your local listings before you invite the entire neighborhood over for movie night.  All times are in Central Standard Time. You can sort this table by any of the column headers to make it easier to find what you need.

So, whether you are looking to continue or start a tradition, distract the kids while you wrap gifts, or entertain the in-laws until they finally decide to go back home, I hope I’ve got you covered.  It may not be ABC Family, but I feel better already.
