Halloween is old news, now the world is focusing on Christmas and it's time for you to plan your holiday season accordingly with ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas schedule. Things kick off on December 1 (naturally) and go all the way through December 25 (again, implied by the 25 Days of Christmas name). As part of the programming block, ABC Family will debut the network premiere of remastered versions of classic Jim Henson Christmas specials The Bells of Fraggle Rock and Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas. There's also a Shadowhunters preview on tap and a Toy Story marathon.

In case you missed it, ABC Family is changing its name to Freeform in January 2016, so get ready for Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas next year. Check out the full 2015 schedule below.
