CBS Orders Holiday-Themed Movies

CBS used to air old holiday specials for its holiday programming. But last year, the network had a new strategy. Last December, CBS made a significant milestone. It aired its first original holiday-themed movies since 2022: Christmas Takes Flight and A Christmas Proposal. Now, the network plans to continue it this year with three Christmas-themed movies.

CBS has ordered three holiday-themed films that are set to air this coming December: When Christmas Was Young, Fit For Christmas, and Must Love Christmas.

Fit For Christmas follows the story of a fitness instructor in a town named Mistletoe. She falls in love with a charming businessman who’s planning to buy the community center and turn it into a resort.

When Christmas Was Young is a music-themed movie that features a music manager who wants to get the rights to a Christmas song that was written years ago by a failed singer-songwriter.

As for Must Love Christmas, the movie focuses on a famous author who rose to popularity for writing Christmas-themed romance novels. She does not only find herself stranded in a small town called Cranberry Falls but also develops feelings for a childhood friend and a local reporter. Who will she choose?
As of today, there’s no news yet as to when these three movies will be released.
