If your Christmas movie calendar is already getting crowded, here is one detail worth catching: Great American’s streaming dates and television dates are not the same.
The official Great American Christmas 2026 schedule lists 18 new original movies, with Great American Pure Flix premieres arriving ahead of their Great American Family and GFAM+ debuts. Here is the full lineup in one place, with the two dates kept separate so you do not plan around the wrong one.
The next dates to watch
A Christmas Prayer Tradition is listed for October 22 on Great American Pure Flix and October 24 on Great American Family and GFAM+. After that, A Very Arctic Christmas arrives October 29 on Pure Flix and October 31 on the television schedule.

Which date should you use?
Use the middle column if you plan to watch through Great American Pure Flix. Use the right column for the Great American Family and GFAM+ premiere. Most films have a two-day gap, but Thanksgiving week is different: A Sweet Christmas Anniversary has November 24 and November 27 dates, while A Christmas Rescue has November 25 and November 28 dates.
The announcement directs viewers to subscribe to Pure Flix. Do not assume a subscription or television package for one service includes the others; confirm access with the service or provider you use before settling in. This schedule does not promise free viewing or a specific streaming drop time.
Already picking your first movie? Our Silver Bells at Christmas cast guide covers Ginny, Nick and Tyler. For the rest of the season, keep the two-column distinction handy. A streaming premiere and a TV premiere can both be correct and still land on different nights.
