MeTV says an all-new two-hour Svengoolie Yule Log will premiere Christmas morning, December 25, from 6 to 8 a.m. ET/PT. The special is part of the network’s seasonal schedule, which also includes classic holiday episodes and movies.
MeTV will premiere an all-new Svengoolie Yule Log on Christmas morning, airing from 6 to 8 a.m. ET/PT on December 25. The network says horror host Svengoolie, played by Rich Koz, will trade his usual spooky setting for a fireplace scene and host two hours of holiday programming, adding a new special to MeTV’s seasonal lineup.
MeTV described the program as a new take on its “Very Merry” holiday tradition. According to the network, the two-hour broadcast will feature Svengoolie beside a crackling fireplace, with appearances by members of The Sven Squad and other guests. MeTV has not identified all of those guests, saying viewers will have to wait until Christmas morning to see who appears.
The special is scheduled between the Christmas episode of Dragnet, listed for 5 a.m., and an episode of Leave It to Beaver, listed for 8 a.m. The rest of the day’s schedule includes holiday-themed episodes and familiar series, among them The Waltons, M*A*S*H, The Andy Griffith Show and The Golden Girls.
MeTV’s published schedule lists the Yule Log as a premiere, but the announcement does not describe its full format or say whether it will include continuous fireplace footage, sketches, music or other segments. The network’s description confirms the fireplace setting and guest appearances, not the details of each part of the broadcast.
A New Holiday Slot for Svengoolie
The announcement gives MeTV viewers a two-hour Christmas morning special built around one of the network’s recognizable hosts, rather than a conventional series episode. The Yule Log format is often used as relaxed holiday viewing; MeTV is pairing that familiar idea with Svengoolie’s on-screen presence and appearances from his regular circle of performers.
For viewers planning around the schedule, the start and end times place the special in an early-morning slot before the network moves into its daytime programming. MeTV says it is available over the air in 98% of the country, as well as through select cable and satellite services and streaming platforms including Frndly TV, Philo, Fubo and Sling TV. Availability can vary by provider and location, so the announcement does not guarantee access through every service in every market.

MeTV’s Christmas Day Lineup
The Yule Log is part of a broader seasonal schedule MeTV says runs from November 22 through Christmas Day. The network describes that programming as a mix of classic holiday-themed television, movies and animated specials. The source report identifies the Christmas Day schedule, including overnight episodes of The Twilight Zone and Alfred Hitchcock Presents, followed by the morning special.
After the Yule Log, the schedule continues with Leave It to Beaver at 8 a.m. and Matlock at 10 a.m. The afternoon includes The Waltons, Bonanza and Wagon Train. MeTV has also scheduled several episodes of M*A*S*H in the evening, followed by holiday installments of The Andy Griffith Show, Everybody Loves Raymond and The Golden Girls.
The announcement frames the special as a festive variation on MeTV’s existing holiday tradition. It does not provide production details, such as when the program was filmed or whether it will be available on demand after the broadcast.
““Svengoolie (aka Rich Koz) trades his usual spooky surroundings for the warmth of a crackling fireplace, settling in for two cozy hours of Christmas morning fun.””

Guests and Format Details Pending
