Celebrate the holidays with Wisconsin Public Television

November 22, 2011 PBS Wisconsin Leave a Comment

I know it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I really wanted to share the holiday program schedule early to remind you of this week’s specials. The festivities begin Thanksgiving Day with Curious George: A Very Monkey Christmas (see Erik’s post from Nov. 19) and roll right through December with an array of heartwarming concert specials. And, in January we wrap the holiday season when Austin City Limits and Great Performances ring in the new year. Peruse the entire schedule below, and whether you catch one program – or all of them! – be sure to take time to spread some holiday cheer this season.
