What are Black Christmas movies?

These titles feature family-friendly, romantic, and comedic African-American storylines. These Black Christmas movies feature some of my favorite Black actors including Tyler Perry, Queen Latifah, Morris Chestnut, Danny Glover, Angela Basset, and more.

What is OWN?

Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) is an American multinational basic cable channel jointly owned by Discovery Inc. and Harpo Studios that launched on January 1, 2011, replacing the Discovery Health Channel.

The network is led by talk show host and namesake Oprah Winfrey and largely features entertainment and lifestyle programming targeting African American audiences, and reruns of talk show programming from the Harpo Studios library (including Oprah's former eponymous series).

Typically, I see an increase in mid-November of people looking for Black Christmas movies and a surge around Thanksgiving.
