Where did 2013 go? It’s now December 1st, which can only mean ABC Family‘s 25 Days of Christmas Movie Marathon is upon us. Many Christmas classics including The Muppet Christmas Carol, The Santa Clause, and National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation will be aired, as well as some family favorites such as the Toy Story films and The Little Mermaid. Get into the holiday spirit and see the full calendar of movies after the jump.
ABC Family kicks things off again this year with Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas. A timely classic to begin December right. Because who wants to be a Grinch? Surprisingly Buddy the Elf, Kevin McAllister, or Ralphie will not make an appearance this year. There are a few ABC Family premieres like 2006’s Deck the Halls with Matthew Broderick and Danny DeVito and an all new ABC Original Movie, Holidaze starring Jennie Garth. Check out the schedule highlights below, there are more movies throughout the day, and have a Merry Christmas!
