How this list is picked

These are titles whose own official descriptions put faith at the center: pastors and prayers, church traditions, angels and miracles, and rediscovering the reason for the season. We go by each title's synopsis or announcement rather than a network's brand. New announcements can add titles; last updated Thu, Oct 22, 2026.
