Every film on the channel today has Christmas in the title. Twenty film slots, all of them festive, and almost every title is shown twice in a row, split into two parts with a short bulletin wedged between. Anyone who thought the season started in December has not been watching this schedule.

Pick of the night is Christmas in the Ballroom at 8pm, with the second half at 9pm. It is the newest film on the channel today, a 2025 title with Kym Johnson Herjavec, Gilles Marini and Carson Kressley in the cast. The rest are mostly from 2017 to 2019, so a recent one stands out. It also has the BBC’s The Celebrity Traitors and Gardeners’ World on the other side, which is a reason to stay put if neither appeals.

The Sweetest Christmas leads off primetime at 7pm, a 2017 film with Lacey Chabert. It is a safe start to the evening, and its first half ran at 6pm if you want the whole thing.

After that comes Our Christmas Love Song at 21:50 and again at 22:50, with Alicia Witt in the lead, and Christmas Everlasting closes the night at 23:45. The channel’s output is steady and fixed. Pick your slot and stay with it.
