The holidays will certainly be Merry & Bright for one family thanks to Freeform!
As part of Disney|ABC’s “25 Days of Christmas” initiative, Freeform, Disney’s young adult television
network, kicked off “25 Days of Christmas” and the gift-giving initiative “Pop Up Santa” this morning,
live, on “Good Morning America,” by actress Aisha Dee (“The Bold Type”) and “GMA” co-host
Ginger Zee, announcing the network will be giving away a tiny house to a family in need this holiday
season. 2017 has been a rough year for many with hurricanes to wildfires, leaving many people
homeless and lives disrupted. Freeform wants to bring a little joy back into someone’s life by gifting
a custom-designed micro-abode.
Starting today and running through Sunday, Dec. 10, viewers can go HERE to submit a photo and tell why they are deserving of a chance to win their own piece of tiny luxury. On Friday, Dec. 22, the deserving winner will be announced, live, on “Good Morning America.”

throughout “25 Days of Christmas” airing Dec. 1–25. The rest of the year’s magical merriment from
Freeform stars and sponsors include:
