🕗 PRIMETIME 🕚
🎥🎄 Chasing Christmas (Great American Family, 8 p.m.): With Dracula having abandoned his Christmasia conquest, only a small squad is left of all the Hallowsland forces, and they're awaiting their own departure for their homeland where Dracula might be entering a new war with Maleficent. However, the elite squad doesn't want to sit and wait -- and possibly be picked off by what remains of Jingle Belle's old pursuit unit. Led by Annie the Goblinmaster and comprised mostly of those too extreme for the overly cruel Goblin Knights, they go on the offensive, trying to find the Christmasia group that includes Rudolph, Yukon Cornelius, Charm, and Harry Bailey. While they start moving to pick them off, they don't realize that Christmasia's last-call line of defense has arrived: the abominable snowmonsters. They might not get along with many Christmasians, but sure don't want invaders coming to their villages. Their entry marks the end of Krampus' attempts to lure the snowmonsters to his side and means Annie the Goblinmaster will have an true adversary to their sizing and brutality when it comes to combat. And now they eagerly await transport off the contentinent.
