’tis the season for CHRISTMAS MOVIES!! WOOHOO! I (Jeni) am all about it 🙂 Good news for those of you like me – starting December 1st, you can watch Christmas movies and TVs all day on Freeform! It’s the “25 Days of Christmas” schedule.
Check out the complete schedule.
Now sure how to watch on Freeform? This article helps guide you and gives you options!
What are your favorite Christmas movies?
You guys know how big of a Disney fan I (Sarah) am. And I know a LOT of you are, too! This will make anyone that loves Disney pretty excited – Colourpop released another Disney-inspired makeup collection, and it’s really neat. It’s called The Midnight Masquerade line and has 18 products.
The products range from $8 to $191 (yikes!) but you can score them as full kits or as individual products (more my style, for sure). Check it out HERE!
Do you have a go-to makeup you love?
“The Neverending Storrrrrrryyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!” That’s running through my (Jeni) head right now! I you know the movie, The Neverending Story, you know the theme song! Check out the amazing deals on this classic right now! Blu-Ray is only $9.99, plus there are multi-format and DVD deals, too. Every kid should see this!
Uhhhh… who needs pie, when you can have pie-flavored donuts from Krispy Kreme? check out their latest invention that will be available through Thanksgiving this year:
- Dutch Apple Pie Doughnut: Filled with apple pie filling, dipped in caramel icing, topped in streusel topping, and hand-decorated with an icing lattice
- Chocolate Kreme Pie Doughnut: Filled with chocolate Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing, topped with a dollop of Kreme, and finished with mini chocolate chips
- Cherry Pie Doughnut: Filled with cherry filling, topped with pie-crust crumbles, and hand-decorated with an icing lattice
Which sounds the yummiest to you?
This has to be the coolest cheeseboard EVER! It comes with knifes, and swivels with multi-levels. Not only will it look really fancy and nice for guests – it could be used for so much more than just cheese!
Do you get fancy for parties you host?

Feel good story of the day! This is Piglet – he’s a pastel-colored Dachshund-chihuahua mix that’s blind and deaf. Through his Instagram, Piglet is inspiring those with differences to have a positive attitude and embrace themselves. Cool, right? And the pictures are so cute!
What differences do you embrace?
I (Jeni) saw this when I was looking for a fun, new duvet cover for my 5 year old niece’s bed. It’s a Doodle World Map Duvet, and it’s freaking amazing! This is a duvet that kids can color on, then sleep under. It comes with pens and is machine washable. It has tons of fun facts, neat animals and can help kids learn about geography – all in one!
Do your kids color on anything other than paper and coloring books?
How freaking cute and unique is this Mini bean Bag Advent Calendar!? It comes with 12 days of awesome little mini bean bag animal plushies with stretchy loops so oy ou can put them on your keychain or hang from the tree! EEEEEK! So much cuteness! This would be great for someone that has a little tree in their office!
Do you have advent calendars?

Ohhhhhh. I love that cheese platter. That would be a perfect gift for my mom.
I’ll have to pick up some Midnight Masquerade sets for my daughter. She loves Disney and make up.
I also love Christmas movies and I tried those doughnut pies. My fave was the apple. The others were just eh.
Dangit I’m fasting right now…and now I MUST HAVE a donut. ha. Those look SO GOOD.
My fave holiday movie? ELF!!!
That cheese board set is way cool. Thanks for the laugh with the muppet photo.
I KNOW! I’ve been waiting since January 1st for the 25 Days of Christmas! I’ve been biding my time with Hallmark Christmas movies until then.
I always look forward to the Christmas shows this time of year so i have to check out Freeform. Donuts can never get any better than the ones with pie in them.
That puppy is so cute. I think the only thing I look at online is puppies and food anymore. I love those types of things but can not seem to find an interest in anything else posted on Instagram.
Pie flavored donuts?! Yes please! And bring on all the holiday movies!
I was just saying how I’d like to watch The Neverending Story with my kids. Oh, and that doodle duvet is super cool!!
I also thought she was a muppet! I love PinkPigletPuppy. I’m not quite ready for Christmas movies, but I’ll probably watch Elf this year and possibly a few others.
I love watching Christmas movies too! I should begin to make the list! 🙂
I love Christmas movies. My favorite growing up was Rudolph. When my kids were younger I bought it on DVD and I still own it. I remember watching The Neverending Story when I was a kid. Now I have the theme song stuck in my head.
Oh, I’d love to have that cheeseboard! So cool!
That cheese platter is serially the best idea and now i want to head on over to Krispi Cream to grab some Donuts.
That cheeseboard looks amazing. I love that it comes with its own knives. I also love the ColorPop Disney makeup collections!
Yay for Christmas movies and delicious donuts! We watch Elf every year for Christmas. The rest we rotate through, but Elf has to happen every year.
I just saw an ad on KK’s Fb page with their holiday treats and I will be getting some nest week. I love their donuts!
I need The Midnight Masquerade line makeup and that cheese board for my upcoming party
I have been watching Christmas movies on Lifetime the past couple weeks. I am starting to see repeats, So I’m so excited to see Freeform is going to be starting theirs soon!
Love that cheese board. Very original and classy. The broccoli apple salad looks good too 🙂
Piglet the puppy is so cute. I have 2 chihuahuas.
I love those old school Rudolph and Santa specials!
You got me at cheese platter. 🙂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts and infos. Was lovely reading your post.
I can’t wait for Christmas! I’m counting down so I can start doing all of the festive things starting in December.
I have the skills: can fall upstairs and choke on air.
Haven’t had a doughnut in ages..
Are you taking December off?
I LOVE that cheeseboard!! ( I Love cheese!)
Now this looks awesome. Coffee hang out. Deals. Delicious food!
