Get ready to deck the halls all November long with "Kickoff to Christmas" on Freeform! As soon as the network wraps up its 31 Nights of Halloween, Freeform will gear up for a month full of holiday fun.



During its second annual "Kickoff to Christmas," the network will air fan-favorite winter and holiday movies like "Frozen," "Home Alone," "Miracle on 34th Street" and "The Holiday" as well as holiday episodes of "The Simpsons" and two new Freeform originals: "Wrap Battle" and "Turkey Drop."



Gift-wrapping competition series "Wrap Battle" debuts Monday, Nov. 25, at 9 p.m. ET/PT. "Wrap Battle" will air two episodes, back to back, each week. The six-episode series will follow nine contestants as they battle to become the ultimate wrapper and take home the coveted grand prize, valued at $50,000. Sheryl Underwood hosts the series, which features Carson Kressley and Wanda Wen as judges as well as celebrity guests judges Candy Spelling, Sandra Lee, Sherry Cola, Diggy Simmons, Lala Kent and designer Sabrina Soto.



"Turkey Drop" focuses on Lucy Jacobs, a small-town girl who has started her freshman year at a big-city university. When Lucy returns home for Thanksgiving break, she suspects she's about to get turkey dropped (dumped by her high school sweetheart) during their holiday visit. To avoid a Turkey Day travesty, Lucy gets out of her comfort zone, proving she's not the same play-it-safe girl she was with her high school boyfriend. The movie stars Olivia Holt, Cheryl Hines, Ben Levine and Tyler Perez.
