Jolly Good Viewing

Sure, you could watch that same favorite holiday special again this year -- but why not pick something fresh from Santa's television grab bag? Here's a sampling of all-new programs airing through Christmas Eve.

This Week:

SANTA BABY

Sunday at 8 p.m. on ABC Family

Jenny McCarthy plays Mary Class, an ambitious executive whose father happens to be Santa Claus (George Wendt).

But when Santa becomes ill, Mary returns home to help him prepare for the holiday.

Sunday at 9 p.m. on Lifetime
