Every year, we say to ourselves that it's too early, but every year, we get caught up in the game. For several seasons now, TF1 and M6 coordinate and embark together in the race for Christmas TV movies at the end of the Christmas holidays. All Saints' Day.

From November 2, the perfect fictions for an afternoon under the plaid are back on the small screen.

We would have liked to avoid the pitfall of saying that TV movie scripts all look alike, but reality catches up with us.

Whether on TF1 or on M6, a journalist falls in love while unearthing a scoop, a man returns to his native lands and has love at first sight and supposedly surly business leaders will turn out to be real hearts of artichoke.

La Une can boast of having a much larger stock of TV films than its competitor, and will broadcast two dramas that smell like winter every day, Monday to Friday, from 1:55 p.m. to 5:25 p.m.

On M6, only one story will be offered daily from 2 p.m.

And to get the holiday season off to a good start (even Monday, November 2), the first game will pit 

Santa Claus Incognito

against 

Christmas in heels
