Christmas is the perfect time to gather together with all your loved ones for a cozy night spent sitting around a bright, crackling … TV. After the stockings have been hung by the chimney with care and all your eggs have been suitably nogged, you can tune into classic films and TV episodes on both network and cable channels on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

You can catch the animated 1966 version and live action 2000 version of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, tune in to old favorites like It’s a Wonderful Life and Christmas in Connecticut, or watch some of the traditional 24-hour A Christmas Story marathon. And if your attention span is feeling a bit shorter, there are also classic Christmas episodes of The Simpsons, The Andy Griffith Show, and more.
