·2 min read

The Sound of Music (7 p.m., ABC) - Not a Christmas movie, but a Christmas tradition: A novitiate (Julie Andrews) leaves her convent and becomes governess to Capt. Von Trapp’s (Christopher Plummer) seven children in Austria before World War II in this 1965 classic.

1883 (9 p.m., Paramount) - This new series — a prequel to “Yellowstone” — follows the Dutton family as they embark on a journey west through the Great Plains toward the last bastion of untamed America. It is a stark retelling of Western expansion, and an intense study of one family fleeing poverty to seek a better future in America’s promised land – Montana. In tonight’s premiere, James arrives in Texas, where he and his family prepare to make their way through The Great Plains in search of a new home and the promise of opportunity. This stars Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Billy Bob Thornton.

Christmas movies and specials on tonight

A Charlie Brown Christmas (7:30 p.m., PBS NC) - This is the one “regular TV” airing of the beloved Peanuts holiday special this year. The Peanuts catalog is now owned by Apple, so for other viewings, you’ll need to sign up for an Apple TV+ account, which is $5 per month. But for tonight — in this 1965 Charles M. Schulz “Peanuts” classic, Linus helps Charlie Brown discover the true meaning of Christmas.

A pilot (Katie Lowes) rallies the community to help save the event and unexpectedly finds herself falling for the magnate in the process.

Under the Christmas Tree (8 p.m., Lifetime) - Romantic sparks fly between Alma and Charlie when Charlie finds the perfect tree for the Maine governor’s holiday celebration right in Alma’s backyard.

‘Tis the Season to Be Merry (8 p.m., Hallmark) - Looking for a fresh angle for her book on relationships, Merry heads to snow-covered Vermont. She soon finds a new perspective and Christmas cheer when she meets a charismatic aid worker named Chris.
