The Ultimate TV Christmas Episodes List

A list of Christmas-themed TV show episodes to watch during the holiday season. 

One of our family’s favorite holiday traditions in December is watching Christmas episodes of our favorite tv shows from the past and present. 

Watching these shows that we watched at various points in our lives brings back happy memories and is something we enjoy during the holiday season. They also make for a great background to online Christmas shopping or wrapping gifts. 

With so many TV shows available to stream online, between Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Freevee, and more, it’s easy to find your new and old favorites. Of course we can’t watch all of these TV episodes each year, so we choose some each Christmas season and save the rest for another year.

To get you started (and for easy reference for ourselves next holiday season!), we’ve compiled a list of Christmas episodes from TV shows that are special to us, from shows we grew up watching in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, classics we used to watch on Nick at Nite’s TV Land, our childhood favorites on TGIF, ’90s sitcoms, cartoon classics, ’60s and ’70s family favorites, as well as other TV shows we’ve enjoyed throughout the years.

We hope this list adds to your enjoyment of the holiday season! Did we leave off one of your favorite tv shows from this Christmas episodes list? Let us know in the comments!
