Freeform Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas Movie Schedule Announced

Last Updated on: October 15th, 2023

One of the best places to watch multi-night holiday-themed movie marathons on TV has to be Freeform. While we are about to embark on their 13 Nights of Halloween, Freeform has announced the lineup for their next holiday offering: Countdown To 25 Days of Christmas.

Note: For Freeform’s 2018 lineup of Christmas movies, please see this year’s post here.

Countdown To 25 Days of Christmas is basically the pre-season to Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas, which begins on December 1, 2017. The goal of the countdown is to prime us for the big show and get us in the holiday mood…even though it is only November.

I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it.
