Romance will also be in the air this holiday on Freeform with the new installment of “Disney’s Fairy Tale Weddings: Holiday Magic,” which features a Mary Poppins-themed wedding extravaganza.

ABC will debut the sixth season of “The Great Christmas Light Fight,” a competition series where families transform their homes into festive wonderlands judged by lifestyle expert Carter Oosterhouse and interior designer Taniya Nayak, and the fourth season of “The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition,” hosted by Spice Girl and TV personality Emma Bunton and former NFL star Anthony “Spice” Adams. ABC is also home to original, holiday-themed episodes of comedies “American Housewife,” “black-ish,” “The Conners,” “Fresh Off the Boat,” “The Goldbergs,” “The Kids Are Alright,” “Modern Family,” “Single Parents” and “Speechless,” plus returning specials like “Olaf’s Frozen Adventure” and the classic “A Charlie Brown Christmas.” Viewers will once again enjoy star-studded performances during the “Disney Parks Magical Christmas Day Parade” and iconic entertainer Reba McEntire returns to host “CMA Country Christmas.”
