The 28 best Christmas movies and specials on TV this week
LA TimesChristmas comes but once this week, and if you haven’t noticed, television will help you remember. ABC brings back its latest “CMA Country Christmas” for a Christmas Eve encore; CBS sends a workhorse game show into prime time for “The Price Is Right at Night: A Holiday Extravaganza With Seth Rogen.” Christmas morning at 9 a.m., ABC has “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade,” from Disneyland and Disney World, which is absolutely not an The greatest of all TV holiday specials is, of course, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” because it has a respect for silence and sadness and the music of Vince Guaraldi. Freeform has trio showings of their “Frosty the Snowman,” “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town” from 8:20 p.m. on Christmas Eve and 3:10 p.m. on Christmas Day. The all-around best “Carol,” to my still trustworthy mind, is the 1951 Alastair Sim version, which Fox Movie Channel will present in a marathon from 4 p.m. Christmas Eve all through Christmas Day. Other holiday-related films on the TCM Tuesday docket include “The Man Who Came to Dinner” with a Santa-bearded, though not spirited, Monty Woolley and Bette Davis in a rare rom-com part; “The Bishop’s Wife” with angel Cary Grant in not quite a romantic triangle with ambitious reverend David Niven and his neglected wife Loretta Young; and Vincente Minnelli’s “Meet Me in St. Louis”, whence comes Judy Garland singing “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” in its proper sad context.
