Updated.

I listed that last episode under both The Jackie Gleason Show and The Honeymooners. I don't know the specifics, so let me know if there's a better way to do it.

Recently picked up a DVD from "Sabrina the Animated Series" called "Witchmas Carol," which is a Christmas episode with a pretty obvious plot. Very entertaining though. The DVD is just a compilation disc that holds 3 other episodes (one referred to as a Bonus Feature). Got it at Wallgreen's for 5.99. Love this animated series!

Seems fitting to add this to the list today. Smallville's Season 6 episode, Rage (#7) is a Thanksgiving episode.

Wow, I didn't know that Rugrats DVD was out... that's great. It's going on my wish list. (Though a box set would be better). Thanks for all the additions.

Heres another one for the list:

Doris Day Show Season: 3 Episode: 15

IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME IN THE CITY (21 December 1970)

Mr. Jarvis drops a wet blanket over Doris' Christmas party when he begins to carry out an earlier threat to "take appropriate steps" if the party becomes too loud

Ok - got one for you then:

Doctor Who: The Unquiet Dead
The third episode of the first season (well, of the new series, that is). Takes place in Cardif, 1879 on Christmas eve. Has Dickens, a telling of A Christmas Carol, Ghosts and Zombies - everything a good holiday story needs!

Doctor Who: The Christmas Invasion
The season 2 boxed set is currently only available on DVD in R2, but is coming out in the US in early January. Not early enough for this year, but plenty of time for next.

***EDIT***
I'd point out the Christmas episode of the Dalek Masterplan (The Feast of Steven) too - but since this episode's been wiped from the BBC archives and only exists as a audio recording, I'll leave it up to you if you want to include it or not. :)

Thanks, Tony, and welcome to UD. I added both "Dr. Who" episodes. Is the audio for the "Dalek Masterplan" audio available on DVD? If so, I'll include it, but if not, it's probably not quite relevant enough. I'm not familiar with the show, but it sounds unfortunate that the video is missing.

Thanks!

On DVD, no - but the BBC have released the story on CD (and there are unofficial fan reconstructions of the episode on tape) - but really I mentioned it out of stupidity. Pay it no mind.

As for the missing episode - unfortunate doesnt begin to cover it. The BBC for some reason or another decided that there was no future in holding onto old episodes and junked the ENTIRE archives from 1968 till about 1972. Not just Dr Who, but Z Cars, Steptoe and Son, Dad's Army - every TV show they had. Doctor Who just had the good fortune of being an international hit, and they've recovered a great many of the broadcast masters from across the globe. Sadly that episode of the Dalek Masterplan wasnt one of them.

Ah - but anyway, I digress. Now back to the christmas topic. . . .

These aren't typical holiday-focused episodes, but they are set around Christmastime, so I suppose they qualify...

<i>NewsRadio</i> - Season 4 - "Stupid Holiday Charity Talent Show"
<i>Scrubs</i> - Season 2 - "My Monster"
