How to Watch A Flintstone Christmas on The CW
By American TV editorial team |
A Flintstone Christmas airs Friday, November 27, 2026, from 9 to 10 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. A second Stone Age special, A Flintstones Christmas Carol, follows a week later on Friday, December 4, from 8 to 9:30 p.m. ET/PT. If The CW is included in your DIRECTV lineup, both air on the local affiliate assigned to your address.
In A Flintstone Christmas, Santa sprains his ankle while delivering presents in Bedrock, so Fred and Barney take his place and deliver toys to children around the world. The catch is that Fred already promised Mr. Slate he would play Santa at the children's holiday party, so the two have to finish the route and get back in time.
In A Flintstones Christmas Carol, Fred lands the role of Ebenezer Scrooge in the Bedrock Community Players' production of Dickens' "A Christmas Carol." His ego grows with the part until Wilma, Barney and Pebbles help him find the true meaning of Christmas before the curtain closes.

| A Flintstones Christmas Carol | Friday, Dec. 4 | 8:00-9:30 p.m. |
Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer leads into A Flintstone Christmas from 8 to 9 p.m. on Nov. 27, and 'Tis the Season to Be Smurfy follows the Christmas Carol on Dec. 4 from 9:30 to 10 p.m., so both Fridays make a full family night.
