Here is The YesterYear Retro Christmas Classics TV Guide for 2023!
Here is a list of what I consider the best television of the holiday season. I'm adding the list here as a regular post, but from now on, you'll find it on the top menu bar (or click the 3 lines if you're on mobile.) You can always just bookmark this page and keep checking back, too!
Obviously, this schedule is subject to change (and I'll keep updating as we go), but as of the time of posting, below is what is officially listed as per TV Guide and the individual network websites.
All times listed are Eastern.
Like every other year, I also BOLDED in RED what I consider the "can't miss" items, such as the once-a-year airings of Wizard of Oz or It's a Wonderful Life. Some are repeated so much that the whole list would be red, so I highlighted them only on their first few showings, but of course, watch when you can! If you feel something I didn't consider should be red, please comment below! I'd love to hear about your traditional "required" viewing.
Items Of Note for 2023:
