TBS and TNT kick off Winter Break with festive films and holiday-themed episodes throughout November and December. The programming begins on November 4 with spirited movies “Jack Frost,” “Fred Claus,” “The Polar Express,” “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation,” and “Elf,” which is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its theatrical release.
As part of an annual tradition, TBS and TNT will host 24-hour marathons of “A Christmas Story,” “Elf,” and “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation.” Other classics airing throughout the season include “Four Christmases,” “Deck the Halls,” “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966),” and many more. In addition, the broadcast premieres of “A Christmas Story Christmas” and “8-Bit Christmas” will debut in November.
TBS will continue spreading the holiday cheer with the premiere of an American Dad! Christmas episode on December 18. Holiday-themed episodes of “Friends,” “The Big Bang Theory,” and for the first time ever “Modern Family,” will air throughout the winter season.
To celebrate the launch of Winter Break, TBS and TNT have partnered with Auntie Anne’s to create the Winter Break Bundle available in locations nationwide and through online delivery that includes 2 pretzels, 2 cups of pretzel nuggets, and 4 dips. It is the perfect snack to pair with this season’s merry movies and holiday favorites.
