Fans of ABC Family, you're going to have to start remembering to call it a different name. Starting in January of 2016, ABC Family will be renamed Freeform.

One of the best things about the Holidays are the television specials that air in the days leading up to Christmas. Whether it be claymation or animation, these programs taught lessons and united families across America and even beyond!

The holiday season is synonymous with timeless, classic films like 'It’s A Wonderful Life,' 'Miracle on 34th Street' and 'Holiday Inn.' Even more recent favorites like “A Christmas Story,' 'Love, Actually' and 'Elf' instantly put us in the mood to cozy up to the fire and sip a cup of Yuletide cheer.

But you know what really gets our chestnuts roasting? The outrageous drama, soap-operatic plot twists and ridiculous-sounding titles brought to us courtesy of the made-for-TV elves at Hallmark Channel, Lifetime and ABC Family.
