Just like Buddy the Elf, TBS and TNT will be spreading holiday cheer this season with their “Winter Break” programming! The Warner Bros. Discovery brands, as part of an annual tradition, will be hosting 24-hour marathons of beloved Christmas films, including Elf, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year. TBS and TNT will also be airing other holiday films like The Polar Express and A Christmas Story throughout November and December.

Since there’s no place like ho-ho-home for the holidays, plan a festive movie night in with TBS and TNT. Mark your calendars, because here is their holiday movie lineup:
