CBS Announces New Holiday Special; The CW Halloween Specials

Celebrate the holiday season with a new CBS Original animated special filled with joy and magic for the whole family! Reindeer in Here, a one-hour animated holiday special, will premiere Tuesday, Nov. 29 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), immediately following the beloved holiday classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT), on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+. Based on the award-winning Christmas book and plush set created by acclaimed author Adam Reed and written for the screen by Greg Erb & Jason Oremland, Reindeer in Here is the heartwarming story of how Blizzard (Blizz), a young reindeer living at the North Pole who has an unusual trait - one antler that is significantly smaller than the other - and his unique group of friends band together to save the future of Christmas. In doing so, they unknowingly create a magical holiday tradition like none other.
The CW Network announced its slate of Halloween-themed specials airing in October, including the brand new special presentation Mysteries Decoded Presents: Spirit Squad and encores of World's Funniest Animals: Halloween and the 13 Scariest Movies of All Time. Mysteries Decoded Presents: Spirit Squad follows paranormal investigator Sara Gray, psychic medium Steffany Strange, and paranormal researcher Brittney Crabb as they join to investigate the haunting of the historical Leonis Adobe residence in California, quickly discovering there might be larger supernatural forces at play. This all-new special presentation airs Monday, October 3 (9:00-10:00pm ET). World's Funniest Animals: Halloween gets into the spooktacular fun with host Elizabeth Stanton giving us a peak into the cutest animals in their Halloween splendor on Monday, October 31 (8:00-9:00pm ET).
