For the 13th year in a row Turner will have its annual A Christmas Story (1983) 24-hour movie marathon on TBS from 8pm tonight through 8pm Christmas night! There are a lot of copycats on the other networks doing holiday movie marathons for large amount of encores. FX is planning to run the movie Night at the Museum for 24 hours, also from Christmas Eve evening to Christmas night. Last year FX had good numbers for a 24-hour marathon of the film Ice Age 2. Sister network Fox Movie Channel will have a 24-hour marathon of the classic Home Alone film. AMC will have two movie marathons. Tonight they will air the 1954 classic White Christmas and then all day tomorrow they will air the 1989 film National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. And as we mentioned before, Spike TV will spend Christmas Day being naughty all day with Bad Santa Don't forget your sandwiches! And finally, Disney Channel will air The Santa Clause trilogy starting at 4pm today.
Some of the other major TV stunts we mentioned already were ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas concluding today and tomorrow. That is our pick of course! BET's Sister Sister marathon today and The Game marathon tomorrow. TV Land's 10th Annual Merrython starts tonight and runs into tomorrow with classic holiday episodes of many TV series! TV One will also celebrate the holidays with holiday episodes all night tonight! And ABC has holiday episodes of their sitcoms tonight from 8-10pm!
Some of the stuff we have not mentioned are Boomerang's 24-Hour Extended Christmas Party starting at 9am today with many holiday animated classics! Comedy Central's 13 Days of Christmas continues tonight at 9pm and all day tomorrow with many movies and a short Scrubs marathon.
Other notable TV marathons include Bravo's West Wing Christmas episodes mini-marathon today and A&E's Criminal Minds marathon tomorrow. MTV will showcase Parental Control and Teen Mom stunts.
