Default What was your favorite Christmas Episode?

I only saw Christmas Baby back on the Hallmark channel, but never saw, The Christmas Show, Christmas in the big house, Post-Card Christmas, or It's a wonderful Christmas, what do you think was the best out of the 5?

I probably saw all of them, but I can't remember back that far. If you'll look at the "video clips" post on this site, there's a link for "Christmas in the Big House". It's very moving and the actresses seem to be very warm and sincere. Lisa has a beautiful voice. I don't know if Nancy was actually playing that piano, but it sounded wonderful. I don't know if she's really a pianist or they just made it seem that way. Either way, the episode is very heartwarming.

I enjoyed all the Christmas episodes, but if I was forced to choose one it would be "The Christmas Show." The ending was unexpected and the plot was very believable.

I'd have to say "Christmas in the Big House". It's the most memorable and fun one.

Wow

So far, most of you guys have picked Christmas in the big house as your favorite.

I'll keep an eye out for it if I ever get a chance to see it, it's a shame that the facts of life hasn't aired on any nation wide network since the hallmark channel

i guess i willl have to follow suite, both christmas in the big house and the christmas show are the best ones, and i think that it would have to be christmas in the big house out ahead by a tiny bit. Just becuase i LOVE to sing along to the songs and i love how nat and jo dress up to do their song, it's funny!!

"Christmas In The Big House" is definitely tied with "The Christmas Show" for my favorite. However, I love "Post-Christmas Card" but that one is more about New Year's Resolutions as it takes place after Christmas. "It's a Wonderful Christmas" was a great Beverly-Ann Christmas episode. The first 2 are definitely the most fun and the most Christmas-y.

I think CHRISTMAS SHOW and POST CHRISTMAS CARD are the best two holiday episodes.

I agree with canuckkid - a great plot in Christmas Show. As did Post Christmas Card - when Nat tears apart the house looking for her credit card to buy a computer is hilarious. She tells andy if he doesn't help her look she won't let him over to play with her Space Donkeys.

I hope the dvds will keep up till these later seasons...

I love Christmas In The Big House. Getting to see the girls & Mrs.G showcased their hidden talent is a plus point too.

Haha, Blair, "Fine, be a credit card virgin forever!" i love that!! The show is pretty funny, but i defiantely dont consider it a chirstmas show... becuase it takes place after new years since they had all made resolutions for the new year (which is funny to watch them try to keep them )
