25 Days of Christmas

25 Days of Christmas is an annual season of Christmas programming broadcast during the month of December by Freeform. The event was first held in 1996, and has been annual fixture of the channel through its various incarnations, including The Family Channel, Fox Family, ABC Family, and Freeform.

## About

Freeform covers airings of classic holiday specials (such as Rankin/Bass' works), as well as new Christmas-themed television movies each year; generally few of the network's original series air during the time period, outside of Christmas-themed episodes. Since 2006, the lineup has also included airings of general, family films that Freeform holds rights to, including the Harry Potter film franchise, and other Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures films. Starting in 2007, ABC Family (which is now Freeform) extended the "25" days into November with a Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas block. 25 Days of Christmas programming often attracts major surges in viewership for Freeform, with higher-profile film airings often attracting 3-4 million viewers or more.

For 2017, the brand has been extended to also cover Christmas-related programming and specials across Freeform's parent broadcast network ABC, and sister cable networks Disney Channel, Disney Junior, and Disney XD.
