TNT and TBS will be airing holiday movies next month with both Christmas Vacation and Elf getting their own all-day marathons.
You’ll have plenty of opportunities to catch National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation and elf next month, as it was announced by WarnerMedia that each of the two hit holiday films will be airing for 24 hours straight on television in November. This will be a part of an overall rollout of holiday programming all month long on TNT and TBS, featuring a variety of other movies with a holiday theme. That includes A Christmas Storywhich will soon be getting a legacy sequel on HBO Max with the original Ralphie returning, as well as other films like The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Fred Claus, Four Christmasesand The Wizard of Oz.
christmas vacation in particular still stands tall as one of the most popular holiday movies of all time. Released in 1989, christmas vacation was written by John Hughes and directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik. The film follows Clark (Chevy Chase) and Ellen Griswold (Beverly D’Angelo) and their family as they host a family gathering at home during their Christmas vacation, only for various calamities and hijinks to ensue. A hit at the box office, the film would launch a franchise with multiple follow-up movies, though for many, christmas vacation remains the best of them all and firmly holds its place as a holiday classic.
Certainly, elf has a brand of humor that’s a bit more outlandish than christmas vacation, but it’s another holiday classic that continues to be viewed by many every year leading up to the Christmas holiday. Written by David Berenbaum and directed by Jon Favreau, the film stars Will Ferrell as Buddy, a grown man who’s been raised by Santa’s elves, adopting many of their childlike characteristics; upon learning of his true heritage, Buddy seeks out his father (James Caan) by traveling to New York. elf was a tremendous success at the box office and is often placed in lists ranking the greatest holiday movies ever.
