The Twilight Zone: How to Watch SYFY's Christmas and New Year's Marathons (2025)

SYFY is double dipping into The Twilight Zone with two end-of-year marathons.

The first marathon kicks off in the wee hours of Christmas Day (Thursday, Dec. 25) to celebrate what would have been The Twilight Zone creator Rod Serling's 101st birthday. That's right, the man who gifted us one of the greatest TV shows ever made was born of the day known for giving and unwrapping presents.

As Serling's younger daughter, Anne, told SYFY WIRE in 2024, "My dad referred to himself as, 'A Christmas present delivered unwrapped.'"

In a separate conversation, his elder daughter, Jodi, recalled how her father was "more excited than a child" when Christmas rolled around on the calendar. "He wanted to open presents before Christmas, and my mom kept saying, ‘No, you can't open them,'" she remembered. "It just was such an exciting time."

The second marathon is the traditional New Year's gauntlet between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.
