He replied: "It's on in the morning, usually we have it on... some of the time."
But ITV presenter Julie Etchingham pointed out that the traditional address doesn't take place until 3pm on Christmas Day.
He claimed he meant to say "when it's repeated... in the afternoon".
But Julie hit back: "You don't watch it do you Mr Corbyn?"
He claimed there was "lots to do" on the day with family and friends.
Mr Corbyn also revealed he visits a homeless shelter on December 25 too.
And he added: "We don't watch television very much on Christmas Day.
"Maybe a film in the evening."
The leftie boss claimed he would like to "do a bit of exercise on Christmas morning" to start the day.
Mr Corbyn will appear on The Leader Interviews: Jeremy Corbyn – Tonight ITV 7.30pm, Thursday (Dec 5).
