Freeform Announces the “Kickoff to Christmas” Starting November 1st
As the Halloween season comes to a close, FreeForm will continue to be the home for all holiday viewing with the second year of the “Kickoff to Christmas” programming event, starting on Friday, Nov. 1. With a month full of holiday fun, this year will also include two new FreeForm originals. The film “Turkey Drop,” from Muse Entertainment, will air Saturday, Nov. 23, at 9:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST. The original holiday competition series, “Wrap Battle,” will air Monday, Nov. 25, at 9:00-11:00 p.m. EST/PST.
This year’s event will also feature fan favorites “Frozen,” “Home Alone,” “Miracle on 34th Street,” “The BFG,” and many, many more.
Freeform’s new holiday gift-wrapping competition series “Wrap Battle” debuts Monday, Nov. 25, at 9:00 p.m. EST/PST. “Wrap Battle” will air two episodes, back to back, each week. The six-episode series will follow nine contestants as they battle to become the ultimate wrapper and take home the coveted grand prize, valued at $50,000. The series will be hosted by comedian Sheryl Underwood (“The Talk”), with Carson Kressley (“RuPaul’s Drag Race,” “Get A Room with Carson and Thom”) and Wanda Wen (founder of fine stationery and luxury paper brand Soolip) serving as judges. Celebrity guest judges will include Tony Award®-winning Broadway producer Candy Spelling, Sandra Lee, Sherry Cola (“Good Trouble”), Diggy Simmons (“grown-ish”), Lala Kent (“Vanderpump Rules”) and designer Sabrina Soto.
“Turkey Drop” focuses on Lucy Jacobs, a small-town girl who has started her freshman year at a big-city university. When Lucy returns home for Thanksgiving break, she suspects she’s about to get turkey dropped-dumped by her high school sweetheart-during their holiday visit. To avoid a Turkey Day travesty, Lucy gets out of her comfort zone, proving she’s not the same play-it-safe girl she was with her high school boyfriend. As she takes control of her own life and makes choices that put herself first, she learns to let go of what’s been holding her back, helping achieve what she truly wants out of life. The movie stars Olivia Holt (“Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger”), Cheryl Hines (“Curb Your Enthusiasm”), Ben Levine (“Legacies”) and Tyler Perez (“LA’s Finest”).
The network has added even more holiday cheer to the line-up. Disney’s hit films such as “Frozen,” “Zootopia,” and “Moana” as well as the FreeForm premiere of Marvel Studios’ “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” will be airing throughout the month. Other beloved classics such as “Home Alone,” “The Holiday,” “Beauty and the Beast” and special holiday episodes of “The Simpsons” will also join the lineup.
