After what can only be described as a disappointing end to the summer, to say the least, it was only natural that we started to look forward to the next best thing in the annual calendar: Christmas. Yep, we’re cracking out the ‘C’ word already (have been since August, TBH!), and we couldn’t be more excited to finally have something to look forward to.
Bringing the festival spirit by the bucket load, free TV channel GREAT! Movies Classic have brought back their all-Christmas-everything channel for 2024, with festive-themed films screening around the clock, seven days a week.
When does the never-ending, constant, unparalleled stream of CHRISTMAS TELEVISION start?
The first movie has already been aired (8am on Thursday, September 5, to be exact) – 110 days before the big day. It’s called Rocky Mountain Christmas and is about Sarah who “escapes to her uncle’s ranch for Christmas after a high-profile break-up. Will her love life be complicated further when a movie star arrives at the ranch to prepare for his next film?”
The quality rarely gets much better than that, with classics like A Joyous Christmas, The Mistletoe Promise, and The Christmas Cure all scheduled. Expect a lot of Christmas cheer, small towns and tough choices between a big-city job and a charming guy our bah-humbug protagonist met three days ago. It’s not exactly It’s A Wonderful Life, but for a quick boost of festive spirit, it’s magical.
