TCM in December: Christmas Movies

It's time for my annual guide to the Christmas movies being shown this month on Turner Classic Movies!

As usual, Christmas titles are scattered throughout the December schedule, including on Saturdays and Sundays.

This year TCM is repeating the Christmas week movie marathon also held in 2021; this year's marathon will be held from December 18th through Christmas Day.

There's always a small fluctuation in the titles shown from year to year, but most of the familiar Christmas favorites typically shown on TCM will be found on the schedule below.

Please click any hyperlinked title for a complete review. For those films shown multiple times, the review is linked only at the first mention.

Additionally, click on any of the stills to enlarge for a closer look.
