As the halls are decked this holiday season, Discovery Canada recently announced a nine-day holiday programming slate full of new episodes from the network’s most popular series, including complete seasons and multi-episode marathons beginning Christmas Eve through New Year’s Day.
“Over the holidays, we invite our viewers to catch up on some of Discovery’s top series,” said Ken MacDonald, General Manager and Vice President at Discovery, in a press release. “While most traditional television schedules take a break over the holiday season, we are proud to offer our viewers a stellar marathon lineup of fan-favourites series, many of which are homegrown Canadian hit programs – the underpinning of our primetime schedule.”
The holiday season schedule features programming from Discovery’s top-rated original Canadian series, including Canada’s Worst Driver (Dec. 26), Highway Thru Hell (Dec. 30), and back-to-back episodes of Discovery’s hit original Canadian scripted drama Frontier (Dec. 28-30). But first, on Christmas Day (Dec. 25), Discovery invites viewers to spend a full day living off the grid with the Kilchers during a complete season of Discovery’s Top 5 series Alaska: The Last Frontier, beginning at 10am leading into the series’ holiday premiere special at 10pm. Then, Gold Rush (Dec. 27) and Moonshiners (Dec. 28) will air.
Discovery closes its banner year with a marathon encore presentation of Harley & The Davidsons, airing Saturday, Dec. 31 beginning at 12 noon before welcoming 2017 with a Season 3 marathon of Alaskan Bush People on Sunday, Jan. 1 beginning at 12 noon.
