Christmastime Is Here, and ABC Family Has the Goods

Here is the schedule for ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas, starting (naturally) on December 1. Highlights include Rankin-Bass favorites like The Year Without a Santa Claus and Rudolph and Frosty’s Christmas in July as well as newer time-honored traditions like Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band ChristmasMickey’s Christmas Carol, and Elf. Things to miss include Fred ClausDesperately Seeking Santa (because I have no idea), and the horrid Dr. Seuss’s How the Grinch Stole Christmas live-action remake.
