Tune in to TCM: Christmas Cheers

Continuing their holiday week salute to festive film favorites, Turner Classic Movies will present a 24-hour Christmas Eve marathon tomorrow. Films scheduled for the all-day event include the 1938 Reginald Owen A Christmas Carol, Christmas in Connecticut starring Barbara Stanwyck and Dennis Morgan, Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum, Loretta Young as The Bishop's Wife and (of course) Meet Me in St. Louis.

The festivities continue on Christmas Day with a trio of Biblical epics: The Greatest Story Ever Told, King of Kings and Ben-Hur. That's a total of 595 minutes of running time, folks, so take it easy on the eggnog.
