ABC Family is making a point of becoming a one-stop destination for holiday programming with its 25 Days of Christmas. That doesn't just extend to airing Christmas movies either, as the network's original series will be getting in on the holiday spirit.

ABC Family will air back-to-back Christmas episodes of their hit comedies Baby Daddy and Melissa & Joey on Wednesday, December 11 (8:00–9:00 PM ET/PT). Cast members from both comedies will be live tweeting the event during the East Coast feeds, answering fan questions and sharing behind the scenes tidbits about the episodes.

In the Melissa & Joey Christmas episode, “A New Kind of Christmas,” Jaime Pressly drops by as Mel’s sister Meredith, who comes home from prison on furlough to celebrate Christmas with the kids and Mel, and seems unruffled by Joe's obvious animosity towards her. On Baby Daddy's Christmas episode, “Emma’s First Christmas,” Ben and Danny end up in elf Suits as they try and find the perfect toy for Emma, while Riley and Tucker volunteer to help Bonnie pull off the perfect Christmas.

Man, just hearing about holiday programming gets me in a festive mood.
