Christmas Eve TV Schedule 2020: Watch These Movies and Specials On Dec. 24

Christmas Eve is different for every household, but what might stay the same is what's being played on the TV.

From classic Christmas movies to older, classic Christmas specials, many networks play holiday films and shows all day long on Christmas Eve.

From Elf and Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas, to even Jurassic Park, there are plenty of options on TV to choose from while you're relaxing on the couch or doing last-minute Christmas wrapping.

Here are just a few movies that'll be played on Dec. 24:

"Fred Claus" (11:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on AMC)

This 2007 movie stars Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti who play brothers, more specifically, the Claus brothers. Fred Claus (Vaughn), is a trouble maker and his brother (Giamatti), saves him from jail to come work at the North Pole. Watch as the two Claus brothers try to navigate life and Christmas.

"Jurrasic Park" (11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. on A&E)

This is the original "Jurrasic Park" where Alan Grant, Ellie Sattler and Ian Malcolm explore the dinosaur park for the first time. They all have to find their way to safety after the dinos break free from their designated cages and try to attack.

"White Christmas" (2:00 p.m. - 4:45 p.m. on SUND)

This classic 1954 Christmas film follows Bob Wallace, Phil Davis, Betty Haynes and Judy Haynes as they go perform at a Christmas show in Vermont. The group ends up trying to save a quaint Vermont inn as a Christmas miracle.

"Elf" (All-day on STZEN)

This all-day marathon of one of America’s favorite holiday movies is sure to entertain since it’s on from morning to night. Watch as Buddy the Elf hops through New York City to find his real dad and overcomes multiple obstacles throughout his journey.

"Bad Santa" (11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. on MTV-E)

"Bad Santa" is more appealing and appropriate for the adults of the family, but it’s a comedy that’ll keep everyone laughing. Viewers can watch as a troubled man finds hope through the Christmas spirit and a boy who brings out the best in him.

"FX’s A Christmas Carol" (4:20 p.m. - 7:50 p.m. on FX)

This version of "A Christmas Carol" is more spine-chilling than the original ghost story. It still follows the three ghosts of Christmas, but with a touch of spookiness, since the creator of this movie is also responsible for Netflix's "Peaky Blinders."

"Dr. Seuss’ How The Grinch Stole Christmas" (5:35 p.m. - 8:15 p.m. on Freeform)

This live-action "Grinch" is another American favorite in many homes. The Grinch learns the real meaning of Christmas through little Cindy Loo Who, who’s one of the only Whos that believes the Grinch can be good.
