It's not exactly Christmas (other than being a Christmas Carol), but Decades has a binge of The Carol Burnett Show this weekend.
It's one of the most out of the blue things that we've seen, but TruTV has a marathon of Hangin' with Mr. Cooper this weekend, then a marathon of Step by Step next weekend.
There is a very long list of special Christmas programming and marathons that we could list here, but it is better summarized in this post from yesterday.
