Holiday Programming Returns to TBS and TNT
Festive films, spirited sitcoms, and 24-hour movie marathons return this season as TBS’s “All I Watch for Christmas” delivers nostalgic classics and TNT’s “Christmas Maximus” showcases blockbuster holiday hits beginning Sunday, November 9.
As part of the networks’ annual tradition, TBS and TNT will host 24-hour movie marathons of Elf, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, and A Christmas Story.
TNT will air the broadcast premiere of Candy Cane Lane, starring Eddie Murphy, on November 16, along with the network debut of Shrek the Halls on December 2. Other seasonal favorites include Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966), The Polar Express, Four Christmases, and many more.
TBS will also air holiday-themed episodes of Friends, The Big Bang Theory, Modern Family, and Family Matters.
TBS is partnering with TGI Fridays and its immersive, seasonal takeover, “TGI Elf Days,” to feature custom holiday installations in each restaurant, exclusive in-restaurant holiday movie nights, holiday-themed trivia events, and themed giveaways every Friday in November and December, with Fridays Rewards members earning double points.
Additionally, the “TBS Christmas Tree-o” special menu item features Loaded Tots, 8 Boneless Wings, and 2 Sliders– the perfect meal to enjoy while watching all your favorite holiday movies, all season long.
