25 Days of Christmas (also known as ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas, previously known as Fox Family's 25 Days of Christmas) is an annual programming block that has been shown on ABC Family and its predecessors since 1996. As the title implies, the special programming is shown every year from December 1 to December 25, showing classic holiday programming (such as Rankin/Bass' classic TV specials), as well as new Christmas-themed television movies each year. However, in 2006, the channel aired fewer seasonal films and added general-interest family movies such as Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. In 2007, ABC Family acquired basic cable premiere rights to The Incredibles, and in 2008 they acquired Cars and The Chronicles of Narnia for the block (all three movies having been produced by The Walt Disney Company, ABC Family's parent company) as well as extending the "25" days into November with a Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas.
