If you're looking for one Roku channel that pulls together the best videos on holiday decorating, food & drink, fashion, music, crafts, and entertainment, you'll find it buried in the Fawesome.tv channel.
Fawesome.tv is a portal to dozens of other Roku channels created by developer Future Today, Inc. But along with links to the other channels, you'll find "Christmas" - a channel within the channel - under the Featured Channels category. Within the Christmas category, there are 25 holiday topics:
- Best Christmas Recipes
- Christmas Cakes
- Holiday Desserts
- Holiday Main Dish
- In the News
- Home: Christmas Gifts
- Home: Christmas Planning
- Decor: Christmas Ornaments
- Decor: Christmas Tree
- Decor: Glitter Ornaments
- Fashion Trends
- Fashion: Makeup Tips
- Fashion: Nail Arts
- Beauty: Gift Guide
- Beauty: Essentials
- Kids Songs: Christmas Songs
- Bible Stories and Songs
- Music
- Comedy
- Pranks
- Recipes: Cider
- Recipes: Cookies
- Recipes: Eggnog
- Recipes: Gingerbread
- Recipes: Roasted Chicken
Even though some of those categories don't appear to be Christmas-related, the videos are. The Nail Arts category, for example, includes videos on how to paint Christmas trees and poinsettias on your nails, and Fashion Trends is loaded with videos on Christmas party outfits. In the Pranks category, you'll find "Walmart's 12 Days of Christmas Prank Call,"Psycho Santa Claus Scare Prank," and other holiday-related practical jokes.
All videos are on-demand, but play one video and the rest of the videos in that category will play in succession. Be prepared for a lot of commercials, though. You'll have to sit through a pre-roll ad before every video. On continuous play, that means a video every couple of minutes, as the videos are generally short. And the ad pool is very small. When I watched this channel, 90% of the ads were the same car commercial.
Despite the ad-heavy streaming, this channel will save you from hunting through multiple channels looking for holiday-related videos in the listed categories.
