2018 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day TV Marathons & Movies
Some of the major TV stunts we mentioned already were Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas 2018 edition, concluding on Tuesday after 25 days. That is always a fan favorite pick of course! Some of the stuff that will air on Christmas Eve and Day on Freeform include The Santa Clause and The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. However, our pick of the marathons is once again on Antenna TV! Starting today they have a "Christmas Collection" marathon beginning at 5am on Christmas Eve through 5am Christmas Day. Then will have a "Christmas Through the Years" marathon on Christmas Day running from 10am-4am. Shows airing during these two events include What's Happening!! to Archie Bunker's Place to The Hogan Family to Three's Company! The MeTV Network will also have holiday episodes of their series like Diff'rent Strokes and The Jeffersons on Christmas Day, as they have had all month on Sundays. It's a Christmas conundrum! COZI TV had its A Very Cozi Christmas marathon on Dec. 14 and holiday episodes air on Christmas Eve and Day with shows like Little House, Frasier, and Will & Grace. getTV has sitcoms on Christmas Day with holiday episodes of Sanford & Son, All in the Family, Married...with Children and The Steve Harvey Show.
Some of the other stuff includes TV Land, which will have holiday episodes of its series on Christmas Day, but it's not being called its annual Merrython again, but look for holiday episodes of The Andy Griffith Show, Two and a Half Men, The Goldbergs, M*A*S*H and Everybody Loves Raymond all on Christmas Eve and Day. Christmas episodes of The Facts of Life and Mama's Family on Christmas Eve and Day will be just some of the items you will see on Logo. BBC America has a Doctor Who marathon that has already started and lasting all the way to New Year's Day! USA Network has a Modern Family marathon on Christmas Eve starting at 11am lasting through 8pm. Comedy Central goes for laughs of course with its 31 Days of Holiday Survival, with The Office today on Christmas Eve from 9am-12am. AMC has the Rankin/Bass specials, as they have had all month long.
For the 22nd year in a row Turner will have its annual A Christmas Story (1983) 24-hour movie marathon on TBS from 8pm Christmas Eve through 8pm Christmas night! TNT will also air the stunt! TBS will air a Friends marathon today from 8am-1pm as well! E! will air a Parks & Recreation marathon today from 6:30am-33:30pm on Xmas Eve. The Simpsons get ready for Christmas on Christmas Eve with a marathon on FXX from 6pm-12am tonight, while when the clock strikes midnight on Syfy, they will air a Christmas Day 24-hour marathon of Futurama.
