As usual, the Christmas TV season begins much earlier than you would think. Date announcements for Christmas specials and movies are already coming out pretty regularly. Some 2019 Christmas programming already begins in October with the first preview special airing on October 19 and the first movie is scheduled for October 25. While it’ll be awhile before we begin our own Christmas coverage on Geeky Hobbies, the time has come for our yearly roundup of every 2019 Christmas TV special, TV series, and movie and the dates and times they are airing. Not everything has been announced just yet but this list will be updated as new air dates are released. If you notice I have missed something, feel free to let me know in the comments section (or contact us) and I will add it to the schedule. We also have a list of all new 2019 Christmas Blu-ray and DVD releases, which can be found here.
The first time listed for each title is the time for the Eastern, Mountain, and Pacific time zones. The second time listed is for the Central time zone.
