Holiday Programming Guide 2020
It’s time to cheer because Kid Congeniality’s 2020 Holiday Programming Guide is here!
It’s been a long year and what better way to escape reality for a little while than relaxing with a fun holiday special? I’ve scoured many sources and this is a long list so sit back, take a look and enjoy planning your viewing schedule.
*Note: Holiday programming started early in November this year, we chose to start our programming guide in mid-November.
*This guide omits Netflix programming because we dedicated an entire other guide to their vast library of holiday programming. You can access it –>HERE<–
