Oh, you blazing ones – Christmas on ORF ON
Christmas is a feel-good time: In addition to holiday nostalgia and cult films like “Single Bells” or “O Palmenbaum,” there are comedies like “Schrille Nacht” and “How do we get out of there again?” or cabarets like Gery Seidl’s “Aufputzt is” and Roland Düringer’s “Regeneration Evening.” for a good mood and a cozy Christmas time on the couch.
Streaming hits for bright children’s eyes
Hurray, the Pumuckl is back… – with new episodes of the children’s cult series “New Stories from the Pumuckl” on ORF ON (from December 22nd). At the side of Master Eder’s nephew Florian, Pumuckl provides lots of practical jokes and adventures and brings the old carpenter’s workshop back to life. There will be even more children’s programming for the Christmas holidays from December 24th with highlights such as “Pippi and the Christmas Festival”, “The Knickerbocker Gang: Haunted at the Star Court” and “Lilli the Witch Saves Christmas”.

And in the cult New Year’s Eve hit “A real Viennese doesn’t go down: the turn of the year” the Sackbauers even have to celebrate the turn of the year twice!
ORF-ON highlights on New Year’s Day
The new year is starting with momentum: on ORF ON you can stream not only the “New Year’s Concert 2025” conducted by star conductor Riccardo Muti, but also selected intermission films from previous years. From December 27th, ORF culture presenter Theresa Vogl will be curating her personal streaming tips in her own collection on ORF ON on the occasion of the New Year’s concert. At the beginning of the year, “The Mountain Doctor” returns to the living room at home with lots of drama and heartbreak: The new episodes of the 18th season can be seen online first from January 1, 2025 at 8:15 p.m. on ORF ON. And if you can’t get enough of the Bergdoktor, you can indulge in nostalgia on ORF ON with numerous episodes with the former “Bergdoktor” Gerhart Lippert and Harald Krassnitzer.
ORF-ON highlights for Epiphany
The insulting brand “Pizzera & Jaus” can be seen in the crime comedy “Pulled Pork”, which will be shown online on January 5, 2025 at 8:15 p.m. on ORF ON. Ex-cop Flo Kienzl (Paul Pizzera) and ex-con Eddi Kovac (Otto Jaus) deal with a conspiracy involving suspicious Russians, an ex-Miss Leibnitz and a corrupt mayoral candidate.
