Face it, you're not going to be very productive between Thanksgiving and Christmas. You'll have to fight off insane customers for shopping discounts. Relatives will constantly shovel food into your mouth. It's going to get really cold, really fast. Snow will start shutting down the roads. You just need to relax. If there was ever a time to not feel guilty about just crashing in front of the television for a few hours, this is it.
In celebration of the season, Moviefone has put together a complete listing of every single holiday special airing between now and Christmas Day -- everything from the timeless classics to children's favorites. So, if you need to hide away from the in-laws for a little bit, or you just don't feel like getting out of bed, here is the complete list of Christmas movies airing this holiday season.
Launch the gallery below to see the full list.
