Bisina SomtoThe holiday season is upon us, bringing with it the warmth of festive cheer and the perfect excuse to indulge in some heart-warming Christmas episodes.
Prime Business Africa (PBA) invites you to join us on a trip down memory lane as we revisit 10 classic Christmas-themed episodes from beloved television shows that have left an indelible mark on our hearts.
“The O.C.”
The holiday season got a unique twist in “The O.C.” when it introduced the world to a new holiday – a fusion of Hanukkah and Christmas. In this 2003 episode, Seth Cohen (Adam Brody) finds himself entangled in a love triangle during his family’s Christmas party, making for a memorable and drama-filled celebration.
“Friends”
“Friends” has given us a decade of Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes, and in season eight, amidst the awkward phase of Ross and Mona’s relationship, Ross takes a bold step by offering to send out a couple’s holiday card. This decision propels the storyline forward and adds a touch of humour to the festive season.

“Gossip Girl”
Living on the Upper East Side is already rife with drama, but the holiday gathering in the first season of “Gossip Girl” takes things to a new level. Blair’s estranged father introduces his lover, Chuck and Nate embark on a journey to Monaco, and Dan tries to surprise Serena for the holidays – all against the backdrop of a Christmas celebration.
“The Office”
Over the years, “The Office” has showcased Michael Scott’s antics during Christmas parties. However, in season nine, post-Michael, Dwight takes charge and hosts a Pennsylvania-Dutch themed party that ends unexpectedly. The result is a Christmas celebration that perfectly captures the show’s unique comedic tone.
“Gilmore Girls”
The festive spirit makes its way to Stars Hollow in “Gilmore Girls” during a Bracebridge dinner in season two. The Independence Inn hosts a gathering complete with Elizabethan costumes, horse-drawn sleighs, and a snowman competition. Amidst the festivities, Rory grapples with the rivalry between Dean and Jess.
“Family Guy”
In a less-than-merry turn of events for the Griffin family, Peter mistakenly gives away all their Christmas gifts to needy children. Attempting to salvage the situation, the family heads to the mall, leading to a series of hilarious misadventures, including Lois pushing George Bailey off a bridge in a fit of rage.
“New Girl”
As the “New Girl” roommates face cancelled or delayed holiday plans, they find themselves spending Christmas Eve at the airport. This unexpected turn of events leads to a unique and heartwarming celebration as the friends come together to make the most of an unconventional Christmas.
“The Simpsons”
“The Simpsons,” Fox’s long-running animated sitcom, kicked off its journey in 1989 with a Christmas episode. Years later, in “Miracle on Evergreen Terrace,” Bart burns down the family Christmas tree and concocts a town-wide story that results in unexpected consequences, bringing Marge to Jeopardy.
“Doctor Who”
“Doctor Who” has become synonymous with Christmas specials, and David Tennant’s final regular appearance in “The End of Time” marked the transition to Matt Smith as the Eleventh Doctor. A two-part spectacle that aired on Christmas Day in 2009 and New Year’s Day in 2010, it remains a poignant moment in the show’s history.
“Parks and Recreation”
Leslie Knope finds herself temporarily unemployed in “Parks and Recreation” but doesn’t let that dampen her holiday spirit. She creates a community parks committee and showers her staff with personalized Christmas presents. In return, her staff embarks on a quest to find the perfect gift for Leslie, showcasing the true meaning of Christmas.
