If you're a HUGE, HUGE, COLOSSAL fan of holiday movies, then you've come to the right place. All your favorite television networks have started to kick off their holiday programming
with a jingle. Make way for some new favorites, some old ones, and some
movies so awesome you've got to tune in every time they air (cough *Elf* cough).
So grab the kids, a mug of hot chocolate with marshmallows, and snuggle up on the couch together ... because this time of year it's all about the holiday flicks! And since this season is also all about giving, we've put together a jam-packed, all-inclusive list of every must-watch holiday show on TV in December. Set your DVRs, too, so you don't miss any of those classics.
