This one is real bizarre, and I'm not really sure it belongs here, but what the heck:

Show: Everybody Loves Raymond
Episode Title: The Tenth Anniversary
Holiday: Superbowl Sunday (?) / Valentine's Day (?)
DVD Availability: Season 4

The thing is, in the episode Ray tapes over his and Debra's wedding video. He tapes the 1991 Superbowl over it. He renews his wedding vows with her, and the episode aired on Valentine's Day. I haven't seen the episode in a while so I'm not sure if there are any direct references to Valentine's Day, but I'll be watching it as part of my Valentine's Day TV-DVD viewings.

Also:

Show: What I Like About You
Episode Title: Valentine's Day
Holiday: Valentine's Day
DVD Availability: Season 1

Show: Reba
Episode Title: Valentine's Day
Holiday: Valentine's Day
DVD Availability: Season 2

Show: George Lopez
Episode Title: Valentine's Day Massacre
Holiday: Valentine's Day
DVD Availability: Seasons 1 & 2

I'll hold off on that one for now until you've had the chance to confirm it. Thanks.


And with that, I've added all of the new updates. Thanks, everyone!

I also added these:

Donald Duck's "Trick or Treat" short is missing the WDT Treasure it appears on. Volume 4 I believe it was :)

Also I have this one to add.

Popeye Halloween Short: Fright to the Finish
DVD: Giant 600 Cartoon Short dvd pack.

The Giant 600 Cartoon Pack also contains about 23 Christmas Shorts. Will snag the official list when I have time, if wanted.

Other Christmas ones that appear to be missing include:

Show: Pokemon
Episode: Holiday Hi-Jynx
DVD: Pokemon Indigo League Vol. 3

Show: Batman the Animated Series
Episode: Christmas With the Joker
DVD: Batman Volume (Unsure which volume) also included on the compilation dvd - The Joker and Batman: Fire and Ice

Show: The Real Ghostbusters
Episode: X-Mas Marks the Spot
DVD: The Real Ghostbusters Volume 1

Valentines Day:

Show: Darkwing Duck
Episode: My Valentine Ghoul
DVD: Darkwing Duck Volume 2

Halloween:

Show: Tiny Toon Adventures
Episode: Things That Go Bump in the Night
DVD: Tiny Toon Adventures Volume 1

Show: The Muppet Show Season 3
Episode: Alice Cooper
DVD: The Muppet Show Season 3
Note: Not too sure if this counts, though some segments are Halloweenish?

Show: Bugs Bunny Cartoon Short
Short: Broomstick Bunny
DVD: Looney Tunes Golden Collction Volume 2 (Perhaps other compilations as well)

Show: The Real Ghostbusters
Episode: When Halloween Was Forever
DVD: The Real Ghostbusters Volume 1


That's all I can think of right now. :)

EDIT: Also another Christmas candidate.

Show: G.I Joe
Episode: Cobra Claws Are Coming to Town
DVD: G.I Joe Season 1.3

The Holiday TV-on-DVD Project is celebrating its fifth year! Thanks to everyone who has helped in compiling such an awesome list.

The Halloween season fast approaches (in my book, it's already here), so there's no time like the present for submitting new entries... and enjoying the episodes already listed here!

I just added the following to the Halloween list:

<i>Beetlejuice</i> - "A-Ha!" - Beetlejuice (1988) Blu-ray & 20ADE DVD
<i>Beetlejuice</i> - "Skeletons in the Closet" - Beetlejuice (1988) Blu-ray & 20ADE DVD
<i>Beetlejuice</i> - "Spooky Boo-Tique" - Beetlejuice (1988) Blu-ray & 20ADE DVD


While not technically Halloween-themed, "Beetlejuice" is somewhat inherently Halloween-y. I know I enjoy watching these episodes during Halloween (especially since they're bonus features for the movie, which I always watch during the Halloween season). Since they're the only "Beetlejuice" episodes available on Blu-ray or DVD (as far as I know), I think it makes sense to include them here.
