Do you know if there is a listing of the holiday “special episodes” of kids shows anywhere? I like to set the DVR to save the Christmas episodes to on hand when we need a good distraction during dinner/homework/chaos.
Hi–If you go directly to the web site of the channel you like to have your kids watch (i.e. Nick Jr, Disney Jr, PBS, etc.), they should be listed on there. Hope that helps!
Thanks for posting this list. Sadly, there is virtually no programs about the birth of Christ and the real meaning of Christmas.
No “Shrek the Hall?”
“Little Drummer Boy?”
Was there a show made called “The Littlest Angel”?If so can the TV stations play iut? It is ssuch a lovely story! Thanks , Shely McFadden
What ever happened to “Miracle on 34th Street”, the old black and white version?? It was a family favorite of ours and now it’s hard to find it on tv.
Why no schedule from PBS ? They, in my opinion, have the very best shows
What time zone are these in? Thanks!
Why don’t they call the Advent events Advent events. It can still talk about Christmas; Advent IS the season of preparation for Christmas, both anticipatory and reflective. Christmas is technically the 12 days from Christmas Day through Epiphany (January 6). I think over-generalizing just forces other minority faiths to under-emphasize their own faith and/or to over-separate it. (Separation of church and state, remember, was to protect the church so that the state could never impose or require just a single one.) The over-generalizing the holiday also waters it down so those who have lapsed or never been part of a faith community feel less of a profound restoration by others’ witness. It makes the whole thing commercial rather than commerce supporting the culture.
Don’t forget the Doctor Who Christmas special for us geeks. Airs December 25 on BBC one, usually 5 pm PST.
All of these wonderful shows are great! What happened to Jesus for CHRISTmas? How far can you shove the Christians out of the picture. You have made our Holy Holiday into a buying frenzie and refuse to let us celebrate the birth of our savior. Shame on you.
The Google calendar is in pacific time but not set correctly so that when you add it it adjust the time. Please see if you can correct it.
Hi Chelsea – it’s me Kristin Thomas. I tried to set the DVR for Prep and Landing and can’t find it for this weekend or coming up. Any idea what happened to it?
Hi Kristin,
Really? It should be there – ABC, 8pm on Friday 🙂 Try adding the “Disney” before the Prep and Landing. In other words, search: Disney Prep and Landing (full title). Hope that helps!
Hi Erika,
The calendar is PST. Check local listings though 🙂
Hi Kevin,
Agreed! I love PBS! But I just did the classics in this list 🙂
Erik/Erika (RE Time zone difference)
To avoid being alerted to a show 3 hours after it already occurred (I live in FL) I had to change my alert notifications to be 190 minutes ahead of the actual event. This gives you a warning 10 minutes before the show starts on EST. I tried to change the timezone in the Calendar settings but was unable to do so. I wonder if BreezyMama has the ability to make the entries time-zone adjustable.
