Freeform Announces the 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS Lineup  Image

Coming off the incredibly strong performance of its "31 Nights of Halloween" programming, FreeForm kicks the holidays into high gear with the announcement of the beloved "25 Days of Christmas" lineup beginning on DEC. 1. As the go-to network for holiday-themed original content and beloved classics, this year's festive lineup includes the premieres of FreeForm original feature "Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas," with "The Bold Type" star Aisha Dee and "The Guest Book"'s Kimiko Glenn, airing WEDNESDAY, DEC. 4, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST. "Good Trouble" will air a two-hour holiday episode on MONDAY, DEC. 16, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST, with the full cast of "The Fosters" guest starring. Additionally, the network will debut the timeless Christmas classics of Rankin-Bass with "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" on FRIDAY, DEC. 6, at 8:00 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. EST/PST, respectively. Adding some friendly competition to your Christmas cheer, back-to-back installments of FreeForm original holiday series "Wrap Battle" will air on MONDAYS at 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. EST/PST, with the finale airing MONDAY, DEC. 9. FreeForm also released its first-ever "25 Days of Christmas" jingle, featuring FreeForm Santa and "Good Trouble" star Emma Hunton. Check out the music video with one of the catchiest Christmas song this holiday season here.

"Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas," tells the quirky and heart-warming story of Jess (Aisha Dee), who goes on the greatest first date of her life, but inadvertently "ghosts" Ben when she tragically dies in a car accident on the way home. Stuck on Earth with no idea how to ascend, Jess will need the help of her best friend Kara (Kimiko Glenn), the only person who can still see and hear her. Kendrick Sampson ("Insecure") and Jazz Raycole ("The Quad") also star. Executive producers include Lisa Kudrow, Dan Bucatinsky, Tony Phelan, and Joan Rater. "Ghosting: The Spirit of Christmas" premieres Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST.

"Good Trouble" will reunite the cast of "The Fosters" when the Adams-Foster clan comes to the Coterie to spend Christmas with Callie and Mariana. In hour one, "Nochebuena," The Fosters visit the Coterie for Christmas and Callie struggles to tell her moms about quitting her clerkship, while Mariana agrees to volunteer for a holiday festival for the underprivileged. Alice is hiding a secret from the Coterie, and Davia strolls down memory lane with Dennis, opening old wounds.

In hour two, "A Very Coterie Christmas," the Fosters and the Hunters help out with the impromptu volunteer Christmas event. Stef agrees to be a part of Mariana's plan to avoid a major catastrophe, all while Gael and Jazmine deal with a painful family decision. Jamie is eager to ask Callie a very important question.

For the first time on cable television, FreeForm has teamed up with Rankin-Bass to air the seminal holiday classics, "Frosty the Snowman" and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer." One of the most popular and longest-running Christmas specials in television history, "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" first aired in 1964, with "Frosty the Snowman" following in 1969. These holiday classics will air back-to-back on Friday, Dec. 6, beginning at 8:00 p.m. EST/PST.

In addition to original holiday specials, FreeForm offers nonstop Christmas cheer that will keep you reaching for the cocoa with a full slate of Christmas favorites like "Home Alone," all three films in "The Santa Clause" trilogy, "Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "The Holiday" and much more!
