Fantastic comedies, family adventure films or even animation on France 2 and a trip to the heart of the real western with horses and Indians on France 3. Christmas afternoons bring the whole family together and talk to our child’s soul from Saturday December 21, after the 1 p.m. news.
At holiday time, what could be cozier than getting together in front of a good movie, after a good meal? France Télévisions has thought of you and is supporting your Christmas afternoons by offering a selection of films to share with the family. Animated films, essential classics or successful comedies, cinema breathes life into dreams, scans the sky, travels through spaces, brings together, moves, plays with the codes of fear, is populated by creatures as strange as they are endearing and offers everyone the happiness of reconnecting with their childish soul.
Fantasy, adventure, animation and Christmas tale on France 2
We’re going to live three Night(s) at the museum to the rhythm of the delirious and fantastic adventures of Larry Daley (Ben Stiller), the night watchman of the Natural History Museum in New York where wax statues, stuffed animals and skeletons come to life at night, thanks to an Egyptian tablet. We help Santa Claus (Alain Chabat) who is in great difficulty facing the strange illness that affects his elves. We gallop alongside Poly in the Cévennes mountains. We go to meet Santa Claus in The Express Pole. We come alive with a – somewhat – dysfunctional family, the Addams. France 2’s cinema afternoons have a knack for taking us on crazy, absurd, moving, delicious adventures… to be experienced comfortably in front of a big screen.

Western on France 3
The wide open spaces, the wild rides, the Texas Rangers and “The Duke”, this essential figure of the western played by John Wayne. While, in 1939, the actor’s career was bogged down in B-movies, John Ford really gave John Wayne a “step up” by offering him the leading role in The Fantastic Ride, who made him a legend. Sharp gaze, swaying gait and acute sense of justice: John Wayne embodies the American western to which he helped give its nobility, with the support of the greatest directors.
