While fans can only hope that Santa leaves them a win under the tree when their team square off against the Washington Wizards on Christmas Day, MSG Network is bringing back “Knicksmas” for a third year.
Tipping off at noon on Dec. 24, the stunt, featuring 24-hours of non-stop New York Knicks programming, is hosted by Walt “St. Knick” Frazier. Shot in his New York City apartment, brimming with holiday trimmings and graced with a roaring fireplace, Frazier will share the spirit of the season with a local children’s choir and the Knicks City Dancers.
The programming ranges from Knicks seasons, championships and great games past -- plus a few from the current campaign -- and profiles of present and former players, including "Santa Clyde" himself.

The programming serves as a lengthy lead-in to the Knicks' pregame show on MSGN at 11:30 p.m.; ESPN will cover the contest from MSG, as the Knicks play for a 67th time on Christmas.
