Welcome to November. For some, it’s time to prepare for Thanksgiving and really embrace the days of fall. For others, it’s the first step toward the holiday SZN.

Freeform — the television channel previously known as ABC Family — unveiled its full schedule for the 25 Days of Christmas, which begins on Dec. 1 and runs through until Dec. 25 (oh, you know, Christmas Day).

The daily schedule begins at 5 a.m. (MT). The final movie each day begins around 10 p.m. or 11:30 p.m.

So, basically, there’s maybe one or two hours in between the end of one day and the beginning of the next.

But let’s not get caught up in the specifics. Here’s the full breakdown of all the movies you can expect to see on Freeform this year during the “25 Days of Christmas.”
