Nova Television celebrates its thirtieth Christmas
In December, the knowledge show Na Lovu (On the Hunt) will bring two specials with star guests and charity. The longest-running series in Czech television history - Ulice (Street)- will present its traditional Christmas Eve episode, which will feature a series of touching encounters. For the first time ever, the Specialisté (Specialists) will present a ten-minute Christmas special and give fans of TV crime dramas Murder Under the Tree. The last day of the year will belong to Pavel Zedníček and his comedy show Všechno je možné! (Everything is Possible!) and on the New Year's Eve edition of the most watched news show, viewers will be treated to a spectacular surprise.
There will also be a selection of traditional Czech fairy tales, foreign and nowadays cult titles that we associate with the most beautiful holidays of the year: look forward to original Czech fairy tales Byl jednou jeden král, Bajajaja, Nebojsa, Obušku z pytle ven, as well as contemporary ones such as The Golden Cave and The Greatest Gift. Fans of Zdeněk Troška's fairy tales can look forward to the classic titles - O princezně Jasněnce a létajícím ševci, Čertova nevěsta atd.
During the Christmas holidays, animated film lovers will also find something to enjoy on Nova. Three films depicting the stories of Shrek, the unforgettable Smurfs, the popular Ice Age, the real animated treat How to Train Your Dragon, and Scoob! Comedies and romantic stories are also inherent to Christmas. It's hard to imagine the holidays without the unbeatable Love Actually.
Alongside this, there will also be a host of Christmas classics, fairy tales, cult films and new releases on Voyo.
Prima will offer a Christmas with film classics and many premieres
The Christmas line-up on Prima will not lack anything that viewers like. In addition to fairy tales, entertainment shows and film classics, the Christmas programme will also include a number of premieres. For example, there are three unconventional episodes of Máme rádi Česko (We Love the Czech Republic). On New Year's Eve, special episodes of Incognito and Partička will provide entertainment - the winner of the second season of the improvisation show Partička - Nová krev will appear in the latter.
CNN Prima News will have a special edition on Christmas Eve and holiday editions of its popular shows are also planned: the KRIMI Christmas Special, Christmas INTERVIEW and the holiday edition of SHOWTIME. The programme will also include three big specials: the 2025 News Calendar, A Year in the Czech Republic and A Year in the World, which will summarise the key moments of the past year and help viewers get a sense of what's in store for them in 2025. Christmas in the Czech Republic, produced in cooperation with regional reporters, will then take viewers on a tour of the most beautiful Christmas trees in the squares of Czech towns and villages.
Christmas Eve on the Prima station will be devoted mainly to fairy tales and Christmas films and the premiere of a new adaptation of the classic fairy tale The Princess on the Pea. And tonight? After a busy day, some may wish to be home alone for a while, others may be more tempted by Journey to America.
The Christmas holidays will be dedicated to fairy tales. The beloved princesses will be waiting for the audience from 8.15pm. First up will be the 2015 Walt Disney Studios feature Cinderella starring Lily James (14 December), followed by Beauty and the Beast (21 December) with Emma Watson.
