Early confirmations note that in 2011, ABC Family's 25 Days Of Christmas will be debuting "Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince", Pixar's "Up", "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", and more ABC Family films.

Original Films Featured On ABC Family's 25 Days Of Christmas
Here are the original films that debuted over the years as part of ABC Family's 25 Days Of Christmas programming. There has been at least one original ABC Family film debut since 2003.
The new films for 2011 are:
- Desperately Seeking Santa - (from ABC Family press release) Laura Vandervoort ("V,") plays a young marketing executive who launches a sexy Santa contest promotion, only to find herself falling for the winner. - NOTE: This is not on their Press Release as part of the ABC Family 25 Days Of Christmas schedule for 2011. It is airing as part of ABC Family's Countdown To 25 Days Of Christmas schedule on Sunday, November 27, 2011 (8:00 - 10:00 PM ET/PT).
- 12 Dates of Christmas - (from ABC Family press release) Amy Smart ("Just Friends," "The Butterfly Effect") stars as a woman who relives her first date of Christmas Eve over and over and over again. NOTE: This is scheduled to debut on ABC Family's 25 Days Of Christmas schedule on Sunday, December 11, 2011 (8:00-10:00 PM ET/PT).
While I am personally not as much of a fan of ABC Family's original films, I do have a soft spot for one solely for its title - "Holiday In Handcuffs". Sounds more like a Lifetime movie of the week than a romantic comedy.

Winnie The Pooh specials on eBay

Buy This Allposters.com
One of the standbys of the ABC Family 25 Days Of Christmas programming are the following three classic Winnie The Pooh specials:
- Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day
- Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too
- Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too
In 2011, the only Winnie the Pooh special airing is "Winnie the Pooh and Christmas Too!" which is airing on:
Thursday, December 1, 2011 (6:30-7:00 PM ET/PT)
Saturday, December 24, 2011 (3:30-4:00 PM ET/PT)
I am saddened to report that NONE of these titles are currently available on DVD. Feel free to shake your fists at anger at Disney! If you cannot wait for your annual ABC Family fix during their 25 Days Of Christmas, feel free to check out eBay for sellers of these great Winnie The Pooh titles!
And remember, "the wonderful thing about tiggers, is tiggers are wonderful things!"

- It breaks my heart that they skip both the original Rudolph and Frosty, yet they include movies that have absolutely nothing to do with Christmas!

- I didn't forget Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol. Believe it or not, that awesome Christmas special was never part of ABC Family's 25 Days Of Christmas. It has been shown in recent years on networks like Cartoon Network. I saw it on that and a couple of others this year, but not ABC Family.
Oddly, after all these years I just saw the full uncut version on ME TV. Usually everything before the curtain rising and everything after the curtain call is cut. I believe it's largely due to the amount of content that isn't PC, and that none of it is pertinent to the plot.
