Freeform's 25 Days Of Christmas Schedule Unveiled, Includes 'The Simpsons' Holiday Episodes & More
Halloween is over, and since Thanksgiving decorations totally suck, it's time for Christmas. In honor of the forthcoming holiday, Freeform is wasting no time getting their 25 Days of Christmas schedule out there for people to get excited about. Every year the channel is decked out with classic holiday movies, beloved Christmas specials, and even some original Yuletide stuff, and this year is no exception.
Along with the expected arrival of movies like The Santa Clause, Home Alone, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and The Nightmare Before Christmas, there's also the addition of some of The Simpsons holiday episodes in what Freeform is calling The Simpsons Holiday-thon. The Springfield family joins other television specials like Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, Frosty the Snowman, and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Plus, for all you hardcore Freeform fans, The Fosters is having a holiday reunion special. Get the full Freeform 25 Days of Christmas schedule below.
Before we get to the full Freeform 25 Days of Christmas schedule, here's some info on a couple of the original offerings the channel will have this year.
First, there's Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas, which tells the quirky and heart-warming story of Jess (Aisha Dee), who goes on the greatest first date of her life, but inadvertently "ghosts" Ben when she tragically dies in a car accident on the way home. Stuck on Earth with no idea how to ascend, Jess will need the help of her best friend Kara (Kimiko Glenn), the only person who can still see and hear her. Kendrick Sampson ("Insecure") and Jazz Raycole ("The Quad") also star. Kids love ghosts and ghosting, so this will be great, right?
Then we have Good Trouble, a new holiday special bringing The Fosters back together. The first-hour, "Nochebuena," finds The Fosters visiting the Coterie for Christmas and Callie struggles to tell her moms about quitting her clerkship, while Mariana agrees to volunteer for a holiday festival for the underprivileged. Alice is hiding a secret from the Coterie, and Davia strolls down memory lane with Dennis, opening old wounds. Then the second hour, "A Very Coterie Christmas," has the Fosters and the Hunters helping out with the impromptu volunteer Christmas event. Stef agrees to be a part of Mariana's plan to avoid a major catastrophe, all while Gael and Jazmine deal with a painful family decision. Jamie is eager to ask Callie a very important question
