The channel formerly known as ABC Family (and as the Fox Family Channel and The Family Channel and even more names before that) is keeping up an old holiday tradition. Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas—three and a half weeks of a lineup stuffed to the seams with Christmas movies—starts on Friday.

The long list of titles includes Elf, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Disney's A Christmas Carol and Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town. The movies air almost back to back for, as the scheduling block promises, 25 days. Several titles repeat more than once, so fear not if you miss your favorite.

The marathon continues right through the Christmas Day. All times in ET, check your local listings for the most up-to-date information in your time zone.
