It’s the most wonderful time of the year … to watch holiday movies, specials and TV episodes. Each week from now through the end of the year, we’ll let you know all the holiday classics airing every night of the week — and this week’s listings include some truly great ones, like the the annual ABC airing of The Sound of Music, the season’s first airing of Frosty the Snowman, and an encore showing of Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer on NBC! Plus, you can catch classic films like Bell, Book and Candle and 1949’s Little Women.
