Everybody loves holiday movies, but equally important are the Christmas episodes of some of television's best shows. Here are 10 episodes that you need to watch before Santa stops by Thursday night.
1.) Friends Season 7 Episode 10 "The One With the Holiday Armadillo"
It's not Christmas without a visit from the Holiday Armadillo.
2.) That 70s Show Season 4 Episode 12 "An Eric Forman Christmas"
Because the whole gang gets in on Pastor Dave's Christmas pageant.
3.) How I Met Your Mother Season 2 Episode 11 "How Lily Stole Christmas"
Still can't believe Ted called Lily a grinch.
4.) The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Season 1 Episode 15 "Deck the Halls"
"The Carlton" is instantly 238749 times better when performed in an ugly Christmas sweater.
5.) Full House Season 2 Episode 8 "Our Very First Christmas Show"
Because we learn a valuable lesson in the last two minutes of the episode AND it's Christmas.
