I'm glad there is such an interest in the subject of christmas episodes.......I've always wanted to do a book with a alphabetical listing of every TV series with episode titles, original airdates, episode descriptions, etc........I'm planning it in my retirement if someone doesn't beat me to it.....there is a book called "Christmas On Television" or something to that effect, it is a nice hardcover but is extremely erratic in its format, it reads as a book instead of a resource listing.

In its entire 8-season run, Dukes of Hazzard only had one Christmas episode. It was entitled "The Great Santa Claus Clause", and aired during the third season (12/19/1980).

^ Yes, that Dukes episode was during the Cletus era. I wish they'd made another Christmas episode later on so Daisy and Enos could kiss under the mistletoe.
