With that in mind, AMC has announced that, like you on Thanksgiving, it’s stuffing itself to the gills — but with a full slate of holiday movies starting November 25.
Things kick off with an All-Day National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation Marathon, starting on November 25 at 9 a.m.
That’s followed by a full compliment of Claymation classics, with AMC’s Rankin-Bass Christmas Weekend. Starting Saturday, November 30 at 6:00 a.m. Eastern time through Sunday, December 1 at 6:00 p.m. Eastern, the network is rolling out The Year Without a Santa Claus, ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas, Jack Frost, Rudolph’s Shiny New Year, “and many more.”
