===Seasonal===
* '''[[31 Nights of Halloween]]''' (originally '''13 Days of Halloween''' and later '''13 Nights of Halloween''') - The channel aired specials, such as ''[[Casper: A Spirited Beginning]]'', ''[[Casper Meets Wendy]]'', ''[[The Haunting of Seacliff Inn]]'', ''[[Lost Souls (1998 film)|Lost Souls]]'', ''[[Addams Family Reunion]]'', ''[[The Spiral Staircase (2000 film)|Spiral Staircase]]'', ''[[Grave Secrets: The Legacy of Hilltop Drive]]'', ''[[The Hollow (2004 film)|The Hollow]]'', ''[[When Good Ghouls Go Bad]]'', and ''[[Deadly Invasion: The Killer Bee Nightmare]]''. Also aired was the TV Series ''[[Scariest Places On Earth]]''. Starting in 2006, this holiday lineup shifted towards more family oriented films, such as ''[[The Haunted Mansion (2003 film)|The Haunted Mansion]]'', ''[[The Addams Family (1991 film)|The Addams Family]]'', ''[[Addams Family Values]]'', ''[[Scooby-Doo (film)|Scooby-Doo]]'', ''[[Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed]]'', ''[[Monsters, Inc.]]'', ''[[Monsters University]]'', and "Harry Potter Weekends" (consisting of the first six Harry Potter films). ''[[Hocus Pocus (1993 film)|Hocus Pocus]]'', which rose to the status of a [[cult film]] through its showings on the block, has been a featured part of the block for decades, eventually receiving its own [[marathon (media)|marathon]] within the block in 2017. In 2019, the block began airing [[Treehouse of Horror|The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror]] after the [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|purchase of 21st Century Fox]]
* '''[[25 Days of Christmas]] and Kickoff to Christmas''' (originally '''Countdown to 25 Days of Christmas''') – The channel has been known for airing many Christmas specials, such as the [[Rankin-Bass]] programs ''[[The Little Drummer Boy]]'' and ''[[Santa Claus Is Coming to Town]]''. It has since expanded this holiday programming, adding made-for-television and theatrically-released movies, a litany of Rankin-Bass sequels (this was complicated somewhat because the broadcast rights of some of the original specials, including ''[[Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (TV special)|Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer]]'' and ''[[Frosty the Snowman]]'', were still owned by CBS), and other original programming to create "The 25 Days of Christmas". This program block airs in prime time on weekdays and from noon through prime time on weekends from December 1 to 25th each year, and has existed since 1996 under Freeform's previous brands. The block has aired some movies that are not necessarily holiday-related. The "25 Days of Christmas" also features special Christmas episodes of the channel's original series (with seven different shows airing Christmas specials in 2014, including ''The Fosters'', ''Pretty Little Liars'', ''[[Chasing Life]]'', ''Baby Daddy'', ''Switched at Birth'', and ''Melissa and Joey'').<ref>{{cite news|last1=Remling|first1=Amanda|title=ABC Family '25 Days Of Christmas' 2014 Schedule: Full Lineup Released; When And What To Watch|url=http://www.ibtimes.com/abc-family-25-days-christmas-2014-schedule-full-lineup-released-when-what-watch-1721009|access-date=May 31, 2016|work=International Business Times|publisher=IBT Media Inc.|date=November 7, 2014|archive-date=May 13, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160513155648/http://www.ibtimes.com/abc-family-25-days-christmas-2014-schedule-full-lineup-released-when-what-watch-1721009|url-status=live}}</ref> As of 2019, the "25 Days of Christmas" name is now used for most of its sister channels, such as [[Disney Junior]], [[Disney Channel]], [[Disney XD]], [[FX Networks]] and ABC.

The block was rebranded as "Jetix" in February 2004, at the same time that [[Toon Disney]] launched its own action-oriented block of the same name. Of its long list of programs, the ''[[Power Rangers]]'' series was its most successful. ABC Family's Jetix block was discontinued in September 2006, at the same time the companion Toon Disney block was expanded (taking over more than half of that channel's schedule).
