Our family enjoys winding down watching a holiday movie. We snuggled together to see “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” on Halloween night and “A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving” on Thanksgiving evening.
Though we enjoy other holiday movies other than Charlie Brown, we like the short episodes that keep little one’s attention.
To kickoff the Christmas season, ABC Family has scheduled a Countdown and 25 Days of Christmas programming list. Though we won’t catch most of these holiday movies, we can find our favorites and plan a movie night complete with popcorn near the lights of the Christmas tree. Enjoy choosing your favorites!
