'The Moodys' is a three-episode Christmas TV series airing on FOX this holiday season. It premieres on Dec. 4.
Christmas season is officially here and it's time to get cozy with a slew of TV classics, new shows and movies coming to cable this month.
Holiday specials have already begun. Netflix released an assortment of new Christmas titles, from series to films, in November, and Freeform begins its "25 Days of Christmas" on Sunday. The full lineup for this year's Christmas season is here.
Everyone can count on their favorite classic Christmas specials to air this year, from "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" on Dec. 2 to "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on Dec. 5. "It's a Wonderful Life" will air on Dec. 25 on NBC.
Though, the true treasure this season is the assortment of holiday series that will debut this month. "The Moodys" is a three-episode series starring Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins. The show airs on FOX Dec. 4. "The Great Christmas Light Fight" returns to ABC on Dec. 2 as does "Making It" with Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman for its second season. You can also expect a variety of holiday food competition shows, from "Holiday Wars" and "Holiday Gingerbread Showdown" on Food Network.
It's not quite Christmas without Christmas specials, from a "CMA Country Christmas" on ABC, airing on Dec. 3, to "Holidays with the Houghs" with Julianne and Derek Hough on Dec. 16 on NBC.
