Christmas Movie Countdown

Grove Park

The Christmas Season is drawing near, and there is such a demand for holiday cheer that Hallmark Channel is kicking off its countdown on Halloween! To add to the fun, every weekend, Hallmark will feature a new Christmas Original movie, along with the highly anticipated North Pole. To add to the excitement, ABC Family begins the countdown, November 23rd. To add to their list of favorites, ELF. After that, we can be on the lookout for favorites such as Prep and Landing, Mickey Mouse Christmas Carol, Frosty, the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree special, and more special performances that one can keep up with, making this an extremely joyful season indeed.

Of course, there will be some Thanksgiving movies on Hallmark, such as The Thanksgiving House and Love at the Thanksgiving Parade and on ABC Thanksgiving Charlie Brown. If one really wants to enjoy some funny Thanksgiving movie, rent or purchase Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, a classic for this holiday that is often looked over but so very important.

For those with Netflix, check out ABC Family favorites, like Holidays in Handcuffs, SnowGlobe, Christmas Cupid, and The Mistletones (a must see holiday movie that is filled with holiday favorite songs). Of course, there are also classics like, Miracle on 34th Street and White Christmas. Tis the season, it is so awesome to finally get a chance to find meaningful heart warming and even funny movies on television, not to mention the holiday specials that pop up. Take time to enjoy it, count down (but not too fast) with some great movies, many good for the whole family, and just get into the holiday spirit or as The Grinch so often reminds us, Christmas isn't about presents, food, perfection, it's about family, love, and blessings and being a blessing to others. Merry Christmas and enjoy all the movies!!
