Christmas TV Schedule 2020 {12/20-12/25}
It’s that time of year again! I love to catch all the holiday movies and tv specials on TV. I know most things are on demand now but there’s something extra special about watching things live as well I think. Each week I’ll be sharing a round-up of the best of the best everyday with channels and times. Look ahead and plan your movie nights for the week!
