High Holidays (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season11/ep11.htm)
This episode makes the top of the list by default since it's really not a Christmas episode. Aside from the Décor, this could have been an episode set anytime during the final season. It's not a bad episode, but it is a bad Christmas episode.
Mary Christmas (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season8/ep7.htm)
Most consider this one of the worst and I can't really disagree. Frasier comes off way to obnoxious here to the point it becomes parody. When Dr. Mary first appeared, it was made clear why Frasier was afraid to confront Mary. Here, there is no reason and it's just lame.
Miracle on 3rd or 4th Street (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season1/ep12.htm)
This is the one most will disagree with me on. This first season episode is a classic for many. But for me. it's a dreary and depressing show made no better by the attempted uplifting ending. I hate the early days when Frasier was fighting with his father. Just because.
We Two Kings (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season10/ep10.htm)
This one was the hardest to place. The stories never really come together, especially Roz being attracted to Santa Claus. But the way the episode ends is sweet, and I guess it's not the worst but not the best.
RDWRER (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season7/ep12.htm)
This is the New Year's episode and it's just silly antics. The episode is goofy fun and I can't find any major fault with that.
Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season6/ep10.htm)
Another tough call but the writing is solid and as long as you don't mind endless Jewish jokes the episode is fine.
The Fight Before Christmas (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season7/ep11.htm)
The title makes no sense but this is a cool episode. Besides seeing Frasier suffer which is nice once and awhile it's one of the better Niles and Daphne will they or wont they fake outs. It's well written and enjoyable.
Perspectives on Christmas (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season5/ep9.htm)
Just a fantastic episode. When I first saw it advertised, I was afraid it was gonna by to cynical but it really works. The way the stories come together is just fantastic. Though Daphne's believing Martin is dying is a little over the top, but not enough to ruin the episode.
Frasier Grinch (https://www.frasieronline.co.uk/episodeguide/season3/ep9.htm)
This shouldn't be a big surprise because I once listed this episode as one of my favorite Christmas episodes of all time. I just love it especially that sweet ending which makes me smile every time. The plot is simple, Frasier needs a gift for his son, but the episode has plenty of charming moments to make it all work.
