Looking for THE GRINCH? Maybe you'd rather watch A CHRISTMAS STORY? Do you prefer holiday-themed episodes of your fave series? Or maybe you just want to escape the holidays, and catch a marathon of all INDIANA JONES movies or series like DOCTOR WHO?

Harper’s Island (Chiller, 6 am – 7 pm) A replay of the CBS horror-thriller delivers a nightmare before Christmas.
