ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas – Day One

ABC Family kicks off its 25 Days of Christmas with a night of Dr. Seuss-ness.

Monday, December 1

(7:00 – 7:30 PM ET/PT) DR. SEUSS ON THE LOOSE
This half-hour special is hosted by The Cat in the Hat, who introduces three of Dr. Seuss’ popular stories: “The Sneetches,” “The Zax” and “Green Eggs and Ham.” (Animated)

(7:30 – 8:00 PM ET/PT) DR. SEUSS’ THE HOOBER-BLOOB HIGHWAY – ABC Family Premiere
The Hoober-Bloob Highway is an imaginary thoroughfare down which newborns are dispatched to the world after having been briefed on the pros and cons of earthbound living by Mr. Hoober-Bloob, chief dispatcher. The scientific apparatus that controls the briefing sessions includes a hometown-selection contraption, a wheel of chance that determines what place the new voyager will call home, and the future-viewing invention that gives not only a preview of what will happen “down there” but also a last minute opportunity to cancel the trip. Hoober-Bloob is assisted by his staff, consisting of Mini-Moons, Bloop-Bleepers, Grew-Grusters, a Plumpf and a Self-Strumming Guitar. (Animated)

(8:00 – 10:30 PM ET/PT) DR. SEUSS’ HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS
He’s mean, he’s green, and he doesn’t like the Yuletide season one bit. Jim Carrey stars as the title character in this live-action adaptation of the classic children’s story by Dr. Seuss. High atop Mt. Crumpet, The Grinch observes the residents of Whoville joyously preparing to celebrate Christmas. He decides he’s had enough of all this happiness, and conspires to steal Christmas from Whoville! (Live Action)
