Holiday Programming

The 25 Days of Christmas

Since its days under the ownership of Fox, Fox Family/ABC Family has been known for airing many Christmas specials, such as the Rankin-Bass programs The Little Drummer Boy and Santa Claus Is Coming to Town. ABC has since expanded this holiday programming, adding made-for-television movies, a litany of Rankin-Bass shows sequels (this was complicated somewhat because some of the original series, including Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, were still owned by CBS), and other original programming to create "The 25 Days of Christmas." This program block airs from December 1 through 25, in prime time during the work week and from noon through prime time during the weekends. There have been some movies that aren't necessarily holiday related. In 2006, for example, Harry Potter movies were shown along with Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Also that year, the original Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman specials were dropped, and Dr. Seuss On the Loose and The Cat in the Hat were added, however, not with How the Grinch Stole Christmas.

The "25 Days" promotion also consists of a contest.

The 13 Nights of Halloween

Thirteen nights of Halloween programming.

The Mothers' Day Weekend

The Mother's Day event on ABC Family.

The Big Kahuna Weekend

A former event for Fathers' Day.
