We’re coming down the final stretch, kids! With only 5 days left till the Big Day, check out ABC Family’s line up for your Saturday viewing pleasure.

(7:00 – 9:00 AM ET/PT) ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS
All Ethan (Ethan Embry) and his younger sister Hallie (Thora Birch) want for Christmas is for their parents to get back together. Before that can happen, however, the children need to find a way to get rid of Tony, a businessman who is romantically pursuing their mother. The children concoct a scheme to make their holiday wish come true – and with the help of mice, an ice-cream truck, a few telephone calls and the magic of Santa – their plan might just work! (Live Action)

(9:00 – 11:00 AM ET/PT) A VERY BRADY CHRISTMAS
Everyone’s favorite family is reunited again in this heartwarming holiday special. The Brady kids are all grown up with families of their own. All Carol (Florence Henderson) and Mike (Robert Reed) want this year is to fly their children home this holiday season for a good old fashioned Brady Christmas. But with the kids all dealing with family problems of their own, and Sam leaving Alice for another woman, can the Bradys pull it off? (Live Action)

Jack Campbell (Nicolas Cage) is on top of the world. He has a successful career, beautiful women knocking on his door, and a Ferrari to top it all off. Everything changes, however, after an angel (Don Cheadle) masquerading as a homeless man gives him a taste of what his life could have been like if he decided to marry his long-time love Kate (Téa Leoni) instead of letting her go years ago. Jack wakes up on Christmas morning to find himself trapped in a parallel life, now married to Kate with two children, his Ferrari traded for a minivan. At first resistant, Jack soon learns that wealth is not measured by money but by those you love. But just as quickly as his new life is given to him, it’s taken away. Now Jack has to take the lessons he has learned and make the changes in his current life before it’s too late and he misses out on another chance at happiness.

Finally, relax from all the holiday busy-ness with a special, ABC Family premiere, CHRISTMAS IN WONDERLAND. With a recent move and tough financial times, the Saunders family is facing a bleak Christmas. With the kids moping around home, Wayne Saunders (Patrick Swayze) decides to try and make the best out of the holiday by taking the family to the mall to get much needed Christmas decorations and presents. But when the two youngest kids come across a bag full of money, they believe that their Christmas just got a whole lot brighter. Unfortunately for them, the bag belongs to two bumbling crooks in the middle of a counterfeit heist and if they don’t get it back, their boss (Carmen Electra) will have their heads. The movie also stars Chris Kattan and Tim Curry. (8:00 – 10:00 PM ET/PT)
