Holiday TV Guide

Written by Allison | Dec 4, 2018 7:14:17 PM

There are so many wonderful movies and shows to watch this holiday season, from channels like Hallmark, Freeform, Lifetime, AMC, and more. 

Taking inspiration from one of my personal favorite Christmas movies and a quote from everyones favorite elf Buddy, “First we’ll make snow angels for two hours, and then we’ll go ice-skating, and then we’ll eat a whole roll of Toll House cookie dough as fast as we can, and then to finish, we’ll snuggle” and watch all of our favorite holiday movies by the fire. Okay, I added the last part, but Christmas is almost here and I couldn’t be more excited.

This season, make sure to bring out your warmest sweater, make a cup of hot chocolate, and enjoy some serious holiday magic with the 2018 Holiday TV lineup for your viewing pleasure:
