History
Prior to the 10 September 2019 launch of Sony Movies Classic, the channel was known as True Movies. This channel topped all the film channels in August 2005. The first time a Christmas replacement of the channel was made was in 2013. On 24 July 2019, it was announced that True Movies, Along with Movies4Men and True Entertainment would be closed and replaced by this channel from 10 September, after the temporary Sony Movies Christmas replacement on 10 September 2019
Sony Movies Christmas returned on 24 September 2020, and ran until 4 January 2021.
Due to Narrative Capital acquiring SPT's full UK portfolio on 14 May 2021, the channel was rebranded as Great! Movies Classic on 25 May 2021.
As per its time under Sony ownership, the channel becomes a 'Christmas movie' channel over the last quarter of the broadcasting year. In 2021 it was rebranded for the first time as Great! Movies Christmas, with a seasonal film schedule running from 23 September 2021 until 4 January 2022. Great! Movies Christmas returned again for the Christmas 2022 season a few weeks earlier on 8 September 2022, 108 days before Christmas. This schedule continued until 2 January 2023, with the +1 channel in Greater Manchester also reflecting the change.
On 5 January 2023, Great! Movies Classic was rebranded as Great! Romance showing romantic films all day every day.
From 7 September 2023, it was rebranded to Great! Christmas until 3 January 2024 for the Christmas period. It returned on 5 September 2024.
