Christmas Eve TV Schedule 2017: Movies, TV Specials To Watch Dec. 24

Christmas Eve is a busy time for some, but for others, it’s a day to relax and watch TV. Luckily, there are plenty of Christmas movies and TV specials to watch on Dec. 24.

Marathons are always big on the holidays. The first three “Home Alone” movies will air back-to-back on Encore all day long on Christmas Eve. Meanwhile, CMT will kick off their “Love Actually” movie loop at noon. TBS and TNT will start their annual marathon of “A Christmas Story” at 8 p.m.

However, other classic movies, like “Miracle on 34th Street” and “It’s A Wonderful Life,” will only air once on Christmas Eve. Schedule your DVR wisely.
