On Wednesday, Christmas Eve, France 3 was the most unifying in prime time with “Mon petit Finger Said” (2004). Directed by Pascal Thomas, the rebroadcast cinema offering of La Trois – with André Dussolier and Catherine Frot in the leading roles – was able to count on 2,27 millions of viewers between 9:05 p.m. and 10:48 p.m., i.e. 14,0% individuals aged four years and over, 4,3% 25-49 year olds and 5,9% FRDA-50s. On Thursday March 3, 2022, the previous rebroadcast of this comedy delighted 2.70 million viewers (13.3% of those aged 4 and over and 4.6% of FRDA-50).

Throughout the day, TF1 (17,2%) is a small leader ahead of France 2, struggling (12,2%). France 3 (9,1%), very far in front of M6, weak (6,6%), accompanies her big sister on the podium. TMC (3,9%) completes the top 5. France 5 and C8, both credited with 3,5% in audience share, share sixth position. Next, in order, Arte (3,4%), CStar (2,7%), which marks its best ever day, and W9 (2,4%). TF1 Séries Films particularly shone on this Christmas Day. Followed by 2,3% from the public, channel 20 of TNT – in front of RMC Découverte (2,2%) – has his best day in December 2024.

TF1 is only second. “Puss in Boots 2: The Last Quest” (2022), animated film directed by Joel Crawford and Januel P. Mercado with the voices of Boris Rehlinger and Diane Dassigny, found favor in the eyes of 2,10 millions of viewers between 9:12 p.m. and 10:54 p.m., i.e. 13,2% individuals aged four years and over and 20,9% 25-49 year olds.

France 2 occupies third place with “The Christmas Delivery Man”. This new TV film, carried by Arielle Dombasle and Tom Leeb, livened up the evening of 1,88 million of viewers between 9:08 p.m. and 10:35 p.m., which represents 11,4% ages 4 and up, 8,1% 25-49 year olds and 7,7% FRDA-50s.
