Freeform’s ‘Kickoff to Christmas’ is Spreading Holiday Cheer With New Originals & Old Favorites
Just as Freeform’s Halloween programming begins to near its end for the season, a whole new set of titles are set to air in preparation for the holiday season with a slate called Kickoff to Christmas.
In its second year at the network, Kickoff to Christmas will usher in the holiday season beginning Friday, November 1 and continue throughout the month. There are plenty of highlights, including original content and old favorites.
Among the Freeform originals are the film Turkey Drop, airing November 23, as well as the holiday competition series Wrap Battle — which will feature Sheryl Underwood, Carson Kressley and Wanda Wen — debuting November 25. Favorite films such as Frozen, Home Alone, Miracle on 34th Street, The BFG and more will air during the programming block.
In Wrap Battle, contestants will compete to become the ultimate wrapper and claim a $50,000 prize, and it will include celebrity guest judges. Meanwhile, Turkey Drop follows the story of a young woman who returns home for Thanksgiving only to suspect she’s about to be dumped by her high school sweetheart.
Those are just a few of the titles coming this November — get the full rundown in the schedule below:
