Sony launches festive movie channel next week

Christmas comes early this year as Sony Movies Christmas launches on 10th September.

“The newly rebranded Sony Movies Christmas channel is part of Sony Pictures Television new movie network. The new portfolio also includes Sony Movies, Sony Movies Action and Sony Movies Classic. The Sony Movies network is the first free-to-air movie network in the UK.” – Sony Movies

Showing festive movies 24/7 every day until Christmas, the all-new pop-up channel will air classic films, new premieres and indulgent treats to get viewers in the holiday spirit.

It’s become over the years one of the UK’s best loved festive film channels, as True Christmas, and for 2019 it returns to screens on Tuesday the 10th September. The all-new Sony Movies Christmas pop-up channel will be airing festive classics, new premieres and those indulgent treats to get everyone in the holiday spirit from September to January.

Santa and his elves aren’t the only people working hard from now until Christmas. The movie channel has been working its stockings off to ensure there’s enough Christmas content to keep viewers in a seasonal mood right until the big day and beyond. Because really, when isn’t a good time to gift yourself a little festive cheer?

Previously known as True Christmas, you can still expect a full-day schedule of Yuletide delights to keep you company while you decorate the house, wrap some presents or kick back with some mince pies, including channel premieres such as Holiday Road Trip, Christmas With the Kranks, Silver Bells and Defending Santa.

There will also be themed weekends across the stations run with content including Bah Humbug!, Christmas Animals, Santa Sunday and Christmas Comedy. Every night at 7pm, a treat of emotional movies to really give viewers the festive feels, including Moonlight & Mistletoe, Christmas Grace and All I Want Is Christmas.

“So, if you simply can’t wait to kick off the festivities this year, tune into the  channel, the only one dedicated to keeping it Christmas from September to January. All day, every day.”  – Sony Movies Christmas
