Christmas week is here, which means it’s the perfect time for a lazy rewatch of your holiday favorites.

Whether you prefer cartoon classics like “Frosty the Snowman” and “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” or modern hits like “Home Alone” and “Elf,” there’s something for everyone airing on television this week.

And of course, there are network specials like the annual “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade,” which airs on Christmas morning.

Later this week, some celebrities will also be spreading holiday cheer in the form of specials like Beyoncé’s Christmas NFL Halftime performance and Dolly Parton’s 2022 holiday musical.
