Top 8 Disney Channel Holiday Episodes To Ignore Your Family To

Already over Winter Break, and it hasn't even been 48 hours? Tired of your family? Wishing you were anywhere but next to your quibbling relatives? Here are 8 of the most iconic Disney Channel holiday episodes to watch instead of answering your uncle's annoying questions like, "Have you met anyone special?" or "Have you decided what you're going to do with that major?" Family is rough, so pretend you're part of these utopian-families instead!

P.S. Do not hold me responsible if the links don't work. Life is finnicky. Also, sorry if the links feature sketchy pop-up ads for porn sites or Icelandic call girls. Consider it an early Channukah gift.


1. Lizzie Mcguire: "Aaron Carter's Coming To Town"

This episode gave me unrealistic expectations about holiday parades. In an episode that could truly only have come out of the early 2000s (*cough* the terrible holiday-themed outfits), if hearing Aaron Carter, teen-crush to all, utter the words "Merry Christmas, Lizzie McGuire" doesn't give you shivers, then you probably deserve a lump of coal in your stocking.

2. Even Stevens: "Heck of a Channukah"

Shoutout to the one Jewish family on television, and an era in Shia LaBeouf's life pre-naked avant garde films. Shia was my Grandma's wet dream in this episode, a real mensch with a lot of ruach. How the mighty fall...Is Louis Stevens spinning a dreidel all us Jews were really given at this time of the year?

3. That's So Raven: "Escape Claus"

Raven was so influential in my life, I still practice her constipated-seeing-the-future look when I'm feelin' spiritual. "Escape Claus" is Disney at it's best, and ends with a plug for Raven's now-irrelevent music career. Raven sings "Silent Night" while accompanying herself on the piano, learns the moral of the story (don't open your presents early?), and if you don't get misty while watching her sing then you might be a Grinch. Also, I love episodes of TV where the cast wishes you a Happy Holiday at the end. It makes me feel like one of them.

4. Lizzie McGuire: "Xtreme Xmas"

Ugh, the McGuire strike again. Steven Tyler dresses up as Santa. That's really all you need to know.

5. Sister, Sister: "Christmas"



Grandpa returns to town with a loan shark chasing after him, and the family sells their Christmas gifts in order to make money to help Grandpa. Aw. Nothing says "Festive" like questionable choices that lead to family helping out!

6. The Proud Family: "Seven Days of Kwanza"

This was Disney's answer to holiday diversification. Kwanza is a thing too!
I can't find a full episode anywhere online, so now you know my Christmas wish. Just kidding, I wished for love, money, and stability.


7. Phil of the Future: "Christmas Break"


I bet Christmas in the future is filled with just as much disappointment, awkward smiles, and cheesy TV episodes as Christmas in the present. Also, Phil of the Future was 100% underrated and here is a Christmas gift from me to you to prove it.

8. Kim Possible: "A Very Possible Christmas"

Honestly, Ron Stoppable was my first crush even though he was animated. This Christmas episode, with all the crime-fighting and holiday joy to fill your stockings, makes anything seem possible...get it?

9. BONUS! "The Ultimate Christmas Present"

Yeah, this isn't an episode of TV, but it is quite possibly the best Christmas movie to ever exist. A girl steals a weather machine! From Santa Clause! Cause she lives in Southern California and just wants a snow day! Ugh, Disney was sooorelatable. Mrs. Claus is a BAMF, Santa Claus is an idiot, there's a stereotypical black comedic sidekick, a sassy asian best friend (Brenda Song, duh!), and the parents are clueless as usual. It's the perfect ~storm~ (get it? cause she causes a snow storm) of Disney. I don't really know what the moral of the story is -- don't cause snow storms?

Thanks to Global Warming and El Nino, though, it's beginning to look a lot like the plot of this movie could actually take place...

OH, you mean Disney no longer shows ANY of these episodes? They cancelled all of these shows? You have to scour the www just to find clips of these gems? Yeah, Disney sucks now. But thanks to the internet, we can all relive a happier time, our childhoods, when relatives didn't ask annoying questions about our futures, personal lives, and career decisions; our hearts hadn't been broken; and the most difficult decision was figuring out how to get home in time to catch Lizzie McGuire's holiday special. Disney Channel was really at its prime during the holiday season. Holiday episodes almost make going home bearable.

Almost.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
