With the news of the Peanuts specials being totally unavailable on cable TV this year, it made me a bit weary of other beloved holiday specials. If your family gathers around the TV to watch Frosty the Snowman and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, you don't need to worry about your traditions. These holiday favorites will be airing on CBS and Freeform this season.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer has been airing every year since its release in 1964, making it one of the longest-running holiday specials in television history.

This year, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer will air six times on the Freeform network as part of their ‘25 Days of Christmas’ lineup. It will air on the following dates and times (check Freeform.com or your local listings to confirm the details)

  • Saturday, Dec. 3, 8:15 p.m. CST

  • Wednesday, Dec. 21, 8 p.m.CST
  • Thursday, Dec. 22, 7 p.m. CST
