Nothing can replace the classic "A Charlie Brown Christmas," but this animat- ed special — first shown in 2003 — reunites the updated Peanuts gang with the yule- tide season. Linus and Lucy's little brother, ReRun, needs stress relief. He goes to Snoopy for attention and fun, but the canine has plans that don't include the boy. 8 p.m. on HALL Movie: My Christmas Love A cynic might observe that this new holiday romance seems to be set in an alter- nate universe where stalking isn't a thing, but heart-on- their-sleeve romantics prob- ably will brush aside that objection. Meredith Hagner ('Search Party") stars as one such lady, a woman in love with love, who is charmed when she begins receiving presents mentioned in "The 12 Days of Christmas" from a mystery admirer. 8 p.m. on HBO Movie: Midnight Special After freeing his 8-year-old biological son from the reli- gious cult where he was being raised, a man must go on the run with the boy to escape the cultists in pursuit, as well as government officials who want to study the youth after learning that he has uncanny powers in this 2016 Ameri- can-Greek sci-fi thriller. 9 p.m. on SHOW Shaquille O'Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam — Live From Sin City Filmed over two nights last July during an event at Penn & Teller Theater at Rio Las Ve- gas, this new special features some of the fastest rising stars in comedy. The lineup of per- formers who will appear in this 90-minute telecast hasn't been confirmed, but comics who appeared on stage last July include Lavell Crawford, Bill Bellamy, Cocoa Brown, Don- nell Rawlings, K-Dubb, Bruce Bruce, Aida Rodriguez, Huggy Lowdown and Brian Smith. 9 p.m. on STARZ Movie: Miles Ahead Don Cheadle directed, co- wrote and stars in this 2015 music film that uses a jazz-like narrative style to chronicle the life and career of trumpeter Miles Davis (Cheadle) as he tries to get his career back on track following a troubled period in the 1970s. Ewan McGregor, Emayatzy Corine- aldi, Lakeith Lee Stanfield and Michael Stuhlbarg also star in the film. sports Movies FaMily specials
