TBS and TNT Winter Break Programming; Kelly Clarkson to Host NBC's Christmas in Rockefeller Center
TBS and TNT kick off Winter Break with festive films and holiday-themed episodes throughout November and December. The programming begins on November 4 with spirited movies Jack Frost, Fred Claus, The Polar Express, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation and Elf, which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its theatrical release. As part of annual tradition, TBS and TNT will host 24-hour marathons of A Christmas Story, Elf and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Other classics airing throughout the season include Four Christmases, Deck the Halls, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), and many more. In addition, the broadcast premieres of A Christmas Story Christmas and 8-Bit Christmas will debut in November.
TBS will continue spreading the holiday cheer with the premiere of an American Dad! Christmas episode on December 18. Holiday-themed episodes of Friends, The Big Bang Theory and for the first time ever Modern Family, will air throughout the winter season. To celebrate the launch of Winter Break, TBS and TNT have partnered with Auntie Anne's to create the Winter Break Bundle available in locations nationwide and through online delivery that includes 2 pretzels, 2 cups of pretzel nuggets, and 4 dips. It is the perfect snack to pair with this season's merry movies and holiday favorites. View the promo here and please visit www.wbd.com/winterbreak for more information.
A tradition spanning over nine decades, NBC celebrates the annual lighting of one of the world's most famous trees with its beloved Christmas in Rockefeller Center special. This year, for the first time, Emmy and Grammy Award winner Kelly Clarkson will pull double duty at the annual two-hour holiday affair live on Wednesday, Nov. 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC and simulcast on Peacock. Clarkson will not only host NBC's iconic Christmas special, but also deliver festive performances - all from the historic NYC spot that is now also home to her eponymous talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show. This year marks the 20th anniversary of her first Christmas in Rockefeller Center performance, and she has performed a handful of times since. NBC's TODAY anchors Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Al Roker and Craig Melvin will once again join the tree lighting for a special appearance. No stranger to spreading seasonal cheer, the two-time Grammy-winning singer-songwriter has released multiple holiday albums, including When Christmas Comes Around ... in 2021 and Wrapped in Red in 2013.
