When Is ‘The Sound of Music’ Airing on TV This Year?

Each year, the annual TV airing of The Sound of Music on ABC is as much of a holiday tradition as wreaths, carols, or overdoing it on the pumpkin pie.  Though the Oscar-winning musical isn’t set during the holidays, it has become associated with the Christmas season, with some of its songs, like “My Favorite Things,” finding new lives as Christmas standards.
