I don't think Movies24 has ever been on Freeview.

That's not the same channel 

They call Movies24/Christmas 24 a free to air channel on this Sky sponsorship opportunity which runs from 1st November

Here is the link

https://www.skymedia.co.uk/opportunities/christmas-on-sky-2022/

Then click "Download the full opportunity" under the Sky Cinema logo on the right. 

The document starts by mentioning "3 premium channels (Sky Cinema/Sky Showcase/Movies24) then says Movies24/Christmas24 is free to air. On the second page it mentions "Paramount Extension Opportunities" but shows the Great! Christmas logo, that channel has nothing to with Paramount. The document seems a bit unclear so I would wait for further details before believing it.
