ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas – December 20

This week begins ABC Family’s all day long 25 Days of Christmas programming. “That 70’s Show” had many holiday themed episodes that you can catch today. Then “Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too” shares what the season is all about, and Phineas and Ferb get into the action with some holiday cheer of their own making. Rounding off the evening is the ABC Family premiere special, “Santa Buddies”.

(7:00 – 9:00 AM ET/PT) CHRISTMAS DO-OVER
This holiday movie, starring Jay Mohr (“Jerry Maguire”) and Daphne Zuniga (“Beautiful People”), tells the story of Kevin (Mohr), who unwittingly gets a chance to go back and do things differently when he is forced to relive one terrible Christmas over and over again. Kevin slowly realizes this might be his last chance to get Christmas right and get back what he lost – and what he most needed all along – his family. (Live Action)

(9:00–9:30 AM ET/PT) THAT ‘70s SHOW
“The Best Christmas Ever” – Instead of buying a tree with the money his father gave him, Eric cuts down a tree along the interstate so the gang can use the money to buy beer for a Christmas party in his basement.

(11:00–11:30 AM ET/PT) THAT ‘70s SHOW
“An Eric Forman Christmas” – Kitty suggests that Eric get into the Christmas spirit by directing the annual Christmas pageant, but artistic differences with the gang fill him with anything but holiday cheer.

(11:30 AM–12:00 Noon ET/PT) THAT ‘70s SHOW
“Christmas” – Eric meets some cute girls at a dance. When one calls Donna at the radio station to dedicate a song to him, Donna flips out. Red dispenses his own brand of Christmas cheer as a mall Santa.

(12:00 Noon–2:00 PM ET/PT) A CAROL CHRISTMAS
This holiday special puts a twist on the classic Dickens’ tale, with Tori Spelling cast as a conceited modern-day talk show host who is haunted by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The film also stars William Shatner, Dinah Manoff and Gary Coleman. (Live Action)

Phineas and Ferb want to show Santa how grateful they are for the work that he does every year at Christmas time by transforming the city of Danville into a giant shimmering thank you card and building a rest stop for Santa to relax in between delivering presents. However, when Dr. Doofenshmirtz develops a Naughty-inator that coats the entire Tri-state area in a cloud of naughtiness, Christmas is threatened to be cancelled, so it’s up to Phineas and Ferb to convince Santa’s elves that they really have been nice and save Christmas.
