This holiday season, AMC salutes legendary funnyman John Candy — who would have turned 75 this year — with an evening-long marathon of the actor’s most hilarious films. The “Christmas Candy Marathon,” which begins at 4pm EST on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, on AMC, serves up three Candy classics: Spaceballs, Planes, Trains & Automobiles, and The Great Outdoors. The marathon will end with an encore presentation of Planes, Trains & Automobiles.
