Longhorn Network to air 5-hour Christmas special of Bevo roaming his ranch

If you don’t have the Longhorn Network, you will be missing out on some quality programming on Christmas.

ESPN announced on Thursday that LHN, its 24-hour University of Texas channel, will air a five-hour special called “BEVO: Home for the Holidays” that solely consists of the mascot roaming at his ranch. For real.

The special will air from 7 a.m. to noon central time and feature “the first-ever BEVO cam” where “fans can watch the longhorn roam his natural habitat.”

The special also features a “festive holiday music playlist.” We can only hope that the playlist was picked by BEVO himself.

“BEVO holds a special place in Texas fans’ hearts, so what better gift for our viewers than to have him join the family at home for the holidays,” said Jill Husak, LHN’s director of marketing, in a release. “Beloved BEVO on his scenic ranch, combined with holiday music, will make the perfect television background when Texas fans gather on Christmas morning.”

Best of all, the program will be completely commercial free, so you won’t miss any of the action.
