For many, December is usually the busiest time of year, a month of parties and family gatherings.
This year, of course, not so much.
Don’t be (too) sad, though think of it as an excuse to indulge in some old-fashioned, small-screen cheer.
Holiday episodes of your favorite drama or comedy are practically a genre in their own right. Some are so good, they’ve become classics as beloved as any movie or one-off special.
