Spend the holidays with the best friends and family members TV has to offer.
A break over the holidays is the perfect time for a lot of things: seeing your family, catching up with friends, eating a ton, reflecting. But most important of all, it's a great time to watch a lot of TV, including the episodes made specifically for this time of year.
Christmas episodes are a timeless tradition; they enable us to spend holidays with the characters we've come to love and give us a chance to use the darker underpinnings of a season scored by family fights, fresh heartbreak, and rising tensions to create drama and tie up narrative threads. But the warm, fuzzy feelings are usually not far: Christmas episodes tend to finish with the characters united as one, ready to face another year of drama. Vulture's compiled a list of some of the best, so sit back, relax, and let the holiday cheer take you.
