‘Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory’, ‘Elf’ and More Head to ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas
Christmas is right around the corner and that means it’s time (once again) for ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas.
The official Facebook page for the yearly Christmas celebration posted the full schedule for this year’s marathon and, chances are, if there’s a movie you’re looking for to get you into the spirit, it’s on this list.
The lineup includes comedies like Elf and How The Grinch Stole Christmas; classics like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and The Nightmare Before Christmas and even a Toy Story marathon!
