Default All Time Favorite Christmas Episodes (On DVD)

What's everyone's favorite TV Christmas episode that's currently on DVD? My personal favorite is probably "Christmas and the Hard Luck Kid" from "The Mary Tyler Moore Show." There were some other greats though like virtually all of the AITF ones and the two Christmas-themed CHEERS episodes. What's your favorites?

Yes, I loved the MTM Christmas episode! Too bad it was the only one!

Roseanne had the great Christmas episodes. And I always loved how Tim tried to have the best lit house in the neighborhood for Christmas every year in Home Improvement (even though he was banned from the contest in like season 4-LOL).

No, there was another one later in the series.

This is also a personal favorite of mine! "Christmas and the Hard-Luck Kid II" From TMTMS.

The Christmas Card - Who's The Boss? (Season 3) is wonderful. I used to love a couple from the show "Frasier". And there's a couple from "Night Court" that were good. Well one mainly but the end to another, haha.

Not exactly too "Christmas-y" (but is a Christmas ep) that is good is "The Ghosts Who Stole Christmas" ep from The X-Files Season 6.

The S1 Christmas ep of "Silver Spoons" was real sweet. Not a fav-fav, but I liked it.

Hmmm....can't think of too many more right now.

Oh! Some of the "Bewitched" ones were good.

I love the Christmas episode from Reba. I can't remember the name of it right now but I think it's on DVD.

I love watching Christmas episodes around this time of year and all the above are faves of mine. There are still so many that have yet to be released. Would love to have the 1st season Lucy Show episode "Together For Christmas" released on DVD. Lucy and Viv fight over Christmas traditions (the tree trimming is hilarious) but have a very sentimental ending. And ALL the Flintstones Christmas specials as well.

My all time favorite Christmas episode of any TV show is Dragnet's classic "The Big Little Jesus." Unfortunately the only DVD release is a battered looking copy on the many public domain releases of 50s "Dragnet" episodes. The story was remade for the 60s version, but it was part of the frustratingly unreleased on DVD second season.

that "DRAGNET" episode was a remake of a Christmas episode of the radio series.

I've never considered that other MTM one a Christmas episode, since it's set in November or something.

For those who never saw it, Mary, Murray, Mr. Grant, etc. (funny how with an ENTIRE newsroom full of people; all the action just centered around them ) are mad at each other, and they all get snowed in at the station-and of course, noone else does -and Sue Ann invites them down to her set, where she's just finished taping her Xmas episode; and still has all the food prepared. So, to make a long story short, they all make up over dinner.

I know, I didn't consider that Christmas episode at all, since it really has very little to do with Christmas.
