This Golden Age gem is the perfect start to the holidays, as two of Hollywood's top showmen deliver unforgettable duets of yuletide standards such as "Jingle Bells," "The Christmas Song," and "White Christmas."
Also in December, getTV presents a Humphrey Bogart marathon, as part of its month-long tribute to the Oscar®-winning actor, on Christmas Day at 6:30 a.m. ET. The career-spanning retrospective highlights eight of his most iconic films with a roster featuring Bogart as an expert arms dealer in SIROCCO, with Lee J. Cobb; Film Noir standouts DEAD RECKONING, with Lizabeth Scott, and THE HARDER THEY FALL; the 1932 romance LOVE AFFAIR; and the classic high seas drama THE CAINE MUTINY, among others

The night begins at 7 p.m. ET, with the swingin' Christmas gem HAPPY HOLIDAYS WITH BING AND FRANK; then, Sinatra shines as a smooth-talking player in PAL JOEY, with Kim Novak and Rita Hayworth; helps Spencer Tracy rescue a children's leper colony in THE DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK; and plots to kill the president in SUDDENLY.
Then, make a resolution to join getTV for "A Very Musical New Year's Eve," a super-sized 14-film songfest guaranteed to start your New Year off right, kicking off at 6:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday, December 31.
