It’s the holiday season, everyone! And that applies for whenever you end up reading this because, as we all know, holiday cheer is a state of mind as much as it is date on the calendar.
Speaking of calendar dates though, there are many Christmas movies and TV specials to enjoy throughout November and December in 2023. Whether it’s via cable or streaming, television has a jam-packed schedule to keep you in the Christmas spirit. Here we’ve gathered all of those Christmas movie and TV special options that we can find in a helpful day-by-day format. Read on to find out when your favorite holiday specials will be airing or streaming and learn how to find some new favorites!
A note: IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR HALLMARK MOVIES, please check out Hallmark Channel’s official schedule for every Christmas movie Hallmark has to offer during the 2023 holiday season. Hallmark is the undisputed Christmas movie champion so including its “literally-every-second-of-every-day” Christmas movie schedule would simply be too overwhelming. However, some Hallmark titles will be available on Peacock, and you can find those on our list in addition to all the new Hallmark movies premiering this year.
Now, without further ado, check out our holiday movies and TV schedule below!
