For five hours, commercial-free, on Christmas morning, LHN will run footage of Bevo roaming his ranch. I'm not making that up.

Funny you should ask! Yes, LHN confirms there will be a "festive holiday music playlist." RT @RifleJohn: hopefully playing some music?

The wandering bull footage seems to be a nod to many channels' Yule Log tradition of showing a fireplace with Christmas music playing in the background instead of regular programming on Christmas morning.

So if the one thing your holiday celebration has always been missing is some livestock on the range, prepare yourself for the best Christmas ever.
