The four big TV networks, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox, tonight (December 11, 2025) in prime time will add 12 new TV shows and episodes. Here’s the one to watch, in my humble opinion:

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer – NBC
Air Time: 9 p.m. ET
The 1964 stop-action animated movie, which is narrated by Burl Ives, is a cinematic Christmas tradition which now airs annually on NBC after decades of being on CBS. The film tells the tale of young fawn named Rudolph who struggles to fit in with his brethren who work for Santa Claus to deliver everyone’s gifts. The head reindeer plops a red nose on Rudolph to make him feel more welcome but he soon loses the prosthetic, leading to a series of misadventures. If you’re a parent of a young child, or still feel young at heart, this is must-see TV and a great reminder of how everyone struggles inside and needs our help, particularly around the holidays.
