America's Most Wanted: U.S. Marshals Special Edition (8pm, Fox) - Regular series episodes of this show are now on Lifetime, but Fox will have a few specials each season. This is one of them. U.S. Marshals Service's 15 most-wanted suspects are spotlighted, along with the work of federal marshals.
WWE Tribute to the Troops (9pm, NBC) - Pro wrestlers and other entertainers gathered at Crown Coliseum in Fayetteville on December 13 for the WWE's annual tribute to the armed forces. Featured performers were Nickelback (pictured), Mary J. Blige, and George Wallace. And of course, there was wrestling.
The Story of Santa Claus (9pm, CBS) - An animated musical from 1996 that explains how a toymaker named Nicholaus Claus (voice of Ed Asner) started the tradition of delivering toys to every child on Christmas. I haven't seen this so I'm not sure how it varies from the official story of Santa Claus ("Santa Claus is Comin' to Town") but they better not take too many liberties here! Betty White provides the voice of Mrs. Claus.
Earth's Final Hours (9pm, Syfy) - A doomsday scenario unfolds after a super-dense fragment of interstellar mass pierces the earth's core and slows down the planet's rotation.

Miracle on 34th Street (8pm, AMC) - Edmund Gwenn (left) won an Oscar for his portrayal of the ultimate department store Santa who goes on trial to prove he's the real Kriss Kringle. A true classic also starring Maureen O'Hara and Natalie Wood (left). It doesn't feel like Christmas until you've seen this at least once. Repeats at 10:15pm.
Wizard of Oz (7pm, TNT) - The 1939 Judy Garland classic adaptation of L. Frank Baum's story of a Kansas girl's adventures in a magical land. If you haven't seen Dorothy, Toto, the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion and the Wicked Witch of the West in awhile, tonight's your night. The Flying Monkeys are a bonus. Repeats at 9:15.
