Top 5 Holiday TV Episodes
Album related? Not even remotely!
But ’tis the season for Christmas specials and I thought I’d join the fun.
By calling it ‘holiday’ – that leaves the door wide open for Frank Costanza to make an appearance!

5. Community, “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas” Season 2 Episode 11
There are funnier community episodes (see #1!) but few TV shows have ever been as creative. Season 1’s Christmas episode is equally deserving but bonus marks had to be given to this entirely stop-motion adventure.
.
4. The Office, “A Benihana Christmas” Season 3 Episode 10/11
A toss up between this one or the Christmas episode from season 2. In another difficult tie-breaker, the advantage goes to the episode where Dwight graphically advises strangers how to prepare a goose!
.
3. Arrested Development, “Afternoon Delight” Season 2 Episode 6
Only #3, Come on!
.
2. Seinfeld, “The Strike” Season 9 Episode 10
There just couldn’t be a list without a Festivus for the Rest of Us!
.
1. Community, “Regional Holiday Music” Season 3 Episode 10
If you like Glee, you may enjoy this episode. If you loathe Glee, you’ll love this. Enjoy!

Festivus slays me everytime!
The airing of grievances, brilliant!
We don’t watch a lot of TV shows so I’ll add my own: Big Bang, when Penny gives Sheldon “Leonard Nimoy’s DNA”.
Haven’t seen that one – haven’t seen it yet that is, I’ll check it out. I tend to really like the ones that focus on the Penny/Sheldon dynamic!
Oooh you need to. I think it might be the best episode of the series!
I’m also fond of Kiss Saves Santa as seen in Family Guy.
I seem to remember Kiss playing the electric guitar to scare a pterodactyl, now that’s some holiday magic!
That’s the one!!!
Festivus is brilliant. It gets my vote. There are also many great Simpsons’ Chirstmas episodes.
A couple Simpsons specials would definitely top my list of Halloween themed episodes!
