Christmas Eve TV Schedule 2018: Movies And Specials To Watch Dec. 24

Whether you’re wrapping presents, throwing a Christmas Eve bash or enjoying some downtime, you probably want to watch something festive on Dec. 24.

Classics are all over these listings. “A Christmas Carol,” “White Christmas” and “A Christmas Story” have multiple airings. “It’s A Wonderful Life,” however, will only air once, so be sure to tune in.

There will be plenty of modern holiday movies and specials on Christmas Eve as well. “Elf” and an “Elf on the Shelf” special will air. For those looking for something a little less family-friendly, “A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas” and “Krampus” are also in these listings.
