That's right, the first "Mars" Christmas episode has all the best elements of the UPN series: Veronica (Kirsten Bell) and Logan (Jason Dohring) hate-flirting class issues movie stars hero Keith (Enrico Colantoni) Veronica cleverly solving the mystery and the violence, because Neptune isn't really a cheery town. If you need a little intrigue with your holiday cheer, look no further than Neptune, California, where you can't get through a Christmas party without someone getting stabbed.
Season 1 Episode 10: “An Echolls' Family Christmas” (2004) But at its heart the episode tells a story about forgiveness, a common Christmas theme. Nothing says Christmas like the root of all evil in the world, right? The WB (and later UPN) supernatural series' foray into the holiday season is, on the outside, the story of an all-powerful evil being torturing a vampire with a soul. When that funeral is intercut with a young boys' choir singing "The Little Drummer Boy" as the staff lines up to watch, the tears will flow. In the episode, Toby (Richard Schiff) discovers that a homeless veteran died while wearing a coat Toby gave to charity, and it becomes his mission to give the man a proper funeral. Sometimes, "Wing" creator Aaron Sorkin can imbue his series with over-the-top sentimentality and a preachy tone, but in the NBC White House drama's first Christmas episode, he gets the tone right.
Season 1 Episode 10: "In Excelsis Deo" (1999) Ross (David Schwimmer) dressing up as the "Holiday Armadillo" in Season 7 is the more famous Christmas episode of NBC's "Friends," but this sweeter, less gimmicky installment has more holiday cheer. Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) discovers that her father lives in upstate New York and tries to meet him, only to be too scared to knock on his door. Meanwhile, Monica (Courteney Cox) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) throwing a Christmas party with a broken radiator that makes it hot enough in the apartment for a tropical theme, and Joey (Matt Le Blanc) and Chandler (Matthew Perry) buying all their Christmas presents at a gas station. Season 2, Episode 9: "The One with Phoebe's Dad" (1995)

More: Dolly Parton on her holiday movie musical, 'Christmas on the Square': 'We need some joy' 7. The cheery, romantic episode is the stuff "Downton" fans’ dreams are made of, especially with all that snow. After two seasons of will-they-won’t-they drama, only PBS' ‘Downton Abbey’ could produce, our favorite couple finally got together properly, when Matthew (Dan Stevens) proposed to Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery). The Brits are great at Christmas specials. But the seasonal spirit of this episode doesn't overpower the juicy drama among Summer (Rachel Bilson), Anna (Samaire Armstrong) and Seth (Adam Brody). “The greatest super-holiday known to man” is the most enduring contribution the show made to pop culture. The annual “Chrismukkah” episode became a staple of the four seasons of Fox's California soap, but the first is easily the best. Season 1 Episode 13: “The Best Chrismukkah Ever” (2003) It’s weird, funny and profound, which describes most of the best episodes of "Community." 9.

If there is a series that could pull off an entire episode in stop-motion animation in the style of Christmas classics like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," it's "Community."

Season 2 Episode 11: “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas” (2010) These are the 10 best yuletide episodes, from "Friends" to "Downton Abbey." 10.
