2022 Christmas Eve and Christmas Day TV Marathons & Movies

Welcome to a special Christmas marathon style edition of the News Blog! That means we will recap all of the holiday episode stunts, marathons and holiday movie stunts on TV this holiday on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!

Some of the major TV stunts we mentioned already were Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas 2022 edition, concluding on Christmas Day 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 Home Alone. However, our pick of the marathons is once again on Antenna TV! Starting Christmas Eve they have a "Classic Christmas Collection" marathon beginning at 10am on Christmas Eve through 5am Christmas Day. Then they will have a "Christmas Through the Years" marathon on Christmas Day running from 10am-5am following The Yule Log. Shows airing during these two events include Father Knows Best to Bewitched to Designing Women to Three's Company! Sister network Rewind TV will have similar marathons on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with shows such as The Facts of Life, Diff'rent Strokes and The Drew Carey Show. The MeTV Network will also have holiday episodes of their series for their A Very Merry MeTV block but also The Ed Sullivan Show Christmas special on Christmas Day from 8pm-10pm. It's a Christmas conundrum! COZI TV has its A Very Cozi Christmas marathon on Christmas Day starting at 11am with holiday episodes of shows like Little House, Frasier, Gimme a Break!, Amen, and Roseanne through 11pm. VH1 has sitcoms on Christmas Day such as Martin, The Wayans Bros. and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

Some of the other stuff includes Decades' annual A Christmas "Carol" binge of Carol Burnett and Friends starting Christmas Eve and running through the weekend. TV Land will have blocks of their sitcoms such as Roseanne, Mike & Molly, Mom, Old Christine, Two and a Half Men, The Golden Girls, The King of Queens and Everybody Loves Raymond all on Christmas Eve and Day. Marathons of Married...with Children, Mama's Family and Three's Company on Christmas Eve & Day are a few things you will see on Logo. BBC America has a Doctor Who marathon that starts Christmas Day at 2:30am and lasting til 2pm! Comedy Central goes for laughs of course with its 31 Days of Holiday Survival, with The Office on Christmas Eve and holiday episodes, movies and specials like Jeff Dunham's Very Special Christmas Special on Christmas Day. AMC has Rankin/Bass specials mixed in with movies. BUZZR has its annual Betty White Christmas stunt, see info here.

For the 26th straight year in a row Turner will have its annual A Christmas Story (1983) 24-hour movie marathon on TBS from 8pm Christmas through 8pm Christmas night! TNT will also the stunt from 9pm-9pm! TBS also has Friends and The Big Bang Theory Christmas episode blocks leading into the movie. E! will air a marathon of the classic film It's a Wonderful Life all Christmas day from 3am-3am. Who knew that E! aired sitcoms, catch some (Last Man Standing, Modern Family, and Saved by the Bell) this weekend. Tons of other movie/film marathons on other nets like Bad Santa franchise on MTV, Harry Potter franchise on USA, Friday on VH1, Cars on FX, and Indiana Jones on Paramount Network on Xmas Eve and their hit series Yellowstone on Xmas Day. And NYC! WPIX has its annual holiday line-up set with 'Twas the Night Before Christmas, March of the Wooden Soliders, The Yule Log and The Honeymooners on Christmas Day.
