Here is the full schedule. But, two other movies I recommend that are not being aired on ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas are:
“The Holiday”
“Irving Berlin’s Holiday Inn”
This is a 1942 black and white comedy film starring the impeccable dancers, Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire, as well as Marjorie Reynolds. The two men fall in a love triangle with an actress, Linda (Marjorie), at an inn that is only open on holidays. With live music, the film is a delightful holiday movie that also brought fame to the song “White Christmas.” The song led to the movie “White Christmas” in 1954, again starring Bing Crosby, joined by comedic actor and dancer Danny Kaye.
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving, and enjoy time with your loved ones!
And as Oprah Winfrey said, "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
