Catch Jim Carrey in "Dr Seuss ' How the Grinch Stole Christmas" in Freeform's "25 Days of Christmas" line-up.

Maybe you don't have the perfect gifts for everyone yet or the lights untangled and working, but with the help of Freeform's "25 Days of Christmas" marathon, you can plan your holiday family movie nights.

The annual marathon of holiday movies on Freeform (formerly known as "ABC Family") begins Dec. 1 and continues through Christmas. Find your Freeform channel by clicking here.

You'll find classics like "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town," perennial favorites like "Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas" with Jim Carrey and a few new movies, like "Life-Size 2: A Christmas Eve" starring Tyra Banks.

This year's lineup also includes a slew of animated films, including five movies from the "Toy Story" series.

There is usually more than one showing of each movie. So if you miss it once, check to see if it's on again. But that's not the case with every movie. If you have a child that really wants to see "The Doc McStuffins Christmas Special," for example, make sure to record it or view it live. It's only on once.

All times are Eastern. Check your local listings.
