Travel Channel and discovery+ Programming Highlights: Nov 21-Dec 4, 2022

The pause between Ghostober and the holiday season wasn’t very long, was it? There aren’t a lot of big programming announcements kicking off Thanksgiving week on Travel Channel and discovery+, but there are a couple. For instance, there’s the season 4 premiere of one much-loved show, Destination Fear. But then there’s also the season finale for another beloved show, Ghost Adventures.

One other highlight to highlight is the premiere of “The Harvest,” an episode of Urban Legend, the Friday after Thanksgiving. A sort of a dark nod to the holiday, which is fun.

But that’s not all. Let’s check out all of the shows and their episodes.
