If there were ever two words that were like music to our ears, they would be "Christmas movies." Every year, we faithfully count down the days until channels start airing all of our most treasured Christmas films. Though we've already brought you Hallmark's Christmas line-up (which began in October), now that December is finally here, it's time to start thinking about all the classics that will be airing in the upcoming weeks. Below, we've compiled an exhaustive list of when the greats will be airing — bake some Christmas cookies, flip the switch on your tree, and settle into the couch!
