Spooky Season comes to a crashing halt on Nov. 1, rudely shoved out the door by turkeys carrying gift boxes and Black Friday coupons. Even Mariah Carey is here to say that the holiday season is underway. But it’s not just time for public spaces to put “All I Want For Christmas Is You” on repeat ad nauseam. The holidays are coming in full force on TV as well, with festive episodes for hit shows and seasonal movies for the whole family. For those who just can’t wait for the merry content, Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas 2021 schedule is here to help you plan.

Since the 2019 merger of Fox and Disney, Freeform’s holiday offerings have gotten a little more varied than just your typical Walt Disney Pictures lineup of The Nightmare Before Christmas and The Santa Clause. Freeform’s holiday programming free-for-all now includes the entire Home Alone franchise and The Simpsons holiday episodes. There are also a few modern-day classics thrown in, like Love Actually.

However, one sad note: This year marks a sea change in the Freeform lineup, with the retirement of Miracle on 34th Street. The longtime classic is finally exiting the 25 Days calendar. But fans shouldn’t take it too hard, as some mid-century classics remain, with all the Rankin and Bass claymations still on tap, as they are every year.
