Halloween is just around the corner, but ABC Family has just announced its plans for the holiday season later this year (which will be here before you know it!). ABC Family’s Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas (Ho-Ho-Ho … had to put that in somewhere) kicks off just before Thanksgiving on Sunday November 18 and will continue through November 30. The network will WORLD PREMIERE Home Alone: The Holiday Heist, as well as provide a number of other shows and specials to get you ready for December, including a holiday special of Secret Life of an American Teenage Daughter.
And that’s not all. Kicking off the festivities on December 1, the 25 Days of Christmas will include a number of movies and specials to bring you the Holiday spirit, as well as a special ORIGINAL musical, The Mistle-Tones.
