CBS Announces Holiday Programming 2024

CBS  Thanksgiving  Christmas  New Year

            

         

           CBS has released holiday programming schedule for this year leading from Thanksgiving all the way to New Year.  

             There's also something of note this year,  CBS, for the first time since 1972, will not be airing Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and for the first time ever since it premiered, will not be airing Frosty the Snowman.  This is pretty interesting as both specials have big anniversaries this year with Rudolph turning 60 and Frosty turning 55.  They will be moving to NBC, who's parent company owns the rights to these specials.  Freeform, the cable network, will still air these specials to, it's not a Peanuts moving to streaming situation here.  

          That also means, sadly- to me, that CBS will not be airing "Frosty Returns" and it also seems that  "The Story of Santa Claus" will not be airing meaning that CBS won't be airing it for the 2nd year in a row, it might be done at CBS.  Kind of a shame there.  

          Here's what they do have.   Here's the full line up all times in ET/PT unless otherwise noted.
