Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas
IBI Times

One of Hollywood's greatest contributions to the Christmas season is a slew of fantastic Christmas movies. Each year, ABC Family, (which is now Freeform) puts on their annual 25 Days of Christmas, and each year I flip out over the movies that come on TV. Nothing makes me merrier at this time of year than watching a Christmas movie on the couch, surrounded by friends and/or family, covered in a warm fleece blanket (besides the actual reason for the season).

Freeform announced the schedule on October 27, 2016. Although, for me, it is a bit early to be thinking about Christmas in October, I was still excited with the film choices this year. I am very excited that they made sure to include all of the classic stop motion films. Here are some of my favorite holiday films, sure to make the season a bit merrier!

The Year Without Santa Claus


This is definitely my favorite stop motion Christmas movie of all time! The characters are some of the most iconic characters of the Christmas season, not to mention how adorable they all are! It has some of the best songs in Christmas films, as well. 🎶 They call me Heat Miser! Whatever I touch starts to melt in my clutch! He's too much! 🎶


The Santa Clause


This movie is perfect for people of all ages! It gets everyone in the Christmas spirit, from little kids to adults. It is full of great lessons about believing and having faith. Not to mention, Tim Allen is quite the character!


The Little Drummer Boy


Another stop motion sensation! This film is one of the greatest Christmas films of all time. The title song is one of the most iconic songs in Christmas music history. It is a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit, considering it is a story that leads up to the REAL reason for the season!


National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation


It's a Griswold Family Christmas! Here is another of the most iconic Christmas movies of all time! You will be rolling on the floor laughing by the time this movie is halfway finished! This movie is full of the comedic realities of the Christmas season.


Santa Claus is Comin' To Town


This movie is one of the great stop motion films of the Christmas season. It is one of the most iconic films, tracing Santa Claus all the way back to his Kringle origins! Full of some of the most known songs in Christmas music history, you'll be singing along before you know it! 🎶 You'd better watch out! You'd better not cry! You'd better not pout I'm telling you why! Santa Claus is coming to town! 🎶

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
