“Cherished Memories: A Gift to Remember 2” (7 p.m., Hallmark): This 2019 follow-up to the 2017 holiday romance “A Gift to Remember” opens a year after Darcy Archer (Ali Liebert) crashed into Aiden Harris (Peter Porte) on her bicycle, resulting in short-term memory loss and a (so far) longer lasting romance between the pair. She’s looking forward to him coming over to help decorate her tree. When Aiden stumbles across a box containing a charming Christmas village, however, Darcy is overwhelme­d by bitterswee­t emotions over this memento of her late parents’ love. Tina Lifford also stars.

“Christmas 9 to 5” (7 p.m., 11:01 p.m., Lifetime): Tiya Sircar (“The Good Place”) stars in this 2019 yuletide fantasy as Jennifer, a tough-as-nails reporter on the crime beat, who gets a writing assignment completely outside her usual wheelhouse: to find the true meaning of Christmas. She goes undercover at a place that seems unlikely to deliver comfort and joy, but does indeed drop her right in the middle of Christmas Central, so to speak: a department store, where she works as a clerk from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. George Wendt also stars.

“Bless the Harts” (7:30 p.m., FOX): Thanksgivi­ng may be the ultimate family holiday for many Americans, but for those shopaholic Harts, everything is focused on hitting as many early Black Friday sales as possible in the new episode “Mega-Lo-Memories.” Depressed at the prospect of this commerce-centric obsession ruining yet another Thanksgivi­ng, Violet (voice of Jillian Bell) sets out to show her clan the error of their ways. Elsewhere, Jenny and Wayne (voices of Kristen Wiig and Ike Barinholtz) think back on how they first met.

“Ultimate Thanksgivi­ng Challenge” (8 p.m., 11 p.m., Food): In the Season 2 finale, “$25,000 Thanksgivi­ng,” host Giada De Laurentiis challenges the final three contenders to create a dish that represents the person they’re most thankful for, although each must incorporat­e a different kind of squash in the finished product. The chef who most impresses their host and judges Alex Guarnasche­lli, Carla Hall and Christian Petroni gets an important advantage in the final dinner round, wherein each chef must create an ultimate Thanksgivi­ng feast. The winner takes home the $25,000 grand prize.

First, Miri (Daisy Haggard) desperatel­y tries to salvage her friendship with Billy (Adeel Akhtar), who didn’t react well to the truth about her identity. An encounter with his wife, Anna (Souad Faress), takes a regrettabl­e turn for Miri, who winds up arrested again. Then, in the season finale, Miri gets out, determined to tell her side of the story and to finally get the town on her side.
