Christmas Movies on Turner Classic Movies in December 2022

in Christmas in Connecticut
If many Turner Classic Movies fans are like me, then a part of their holiday celebrations is watching Christmas movies on TCM. For me, at least, this year will be no different. I am happy to see that once again TCM will be showing my all time favourite Christmas movie, The Apartment (1960), this year. What is more, they're showing it twice and one of those time is on Christmas Day at that! Of course, TCM is also showing many of my other favourites as usual, including The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942), Christmas in Connecticut (1944), The Bishop's Wife (1947), It Happened on 5th Avenue (1947), and Holiday Affair (1949).

Below is a schedule I compiled of all the Christmas movies on TCM next month. Here I must point out that I included some movies that I do not necessarily consider Christmas movies, but others do. As much as I love Meet Me in St. Louis (1944), I have never thought of it as a Christmas movie! Anyway, just keep in mind that some of the movies TCM shows for Christmas may not be movies you think of as Christmas films! I also have to point out that, as is usual of this site, all times are Central.
