#2 S03E10 – Amends – Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Season 3, Episode 10 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, “Amends,” was a deeply emotional Christmas episode that dove into Buffy and Angel’s difficult relationship within the aftermath of his soul being restored. Whereas the remainder of the gang ready for Christmas, Buffy was looking for out what was haunting Angel, inflicting him to consider he could be higher off lifeless. Since having his soul restored, Buffy had been struggling to know her place in Angel’s life, whereas Angel was consumed with guilt over every thing he did as Angelus—together with the homicide of Jenny Calendar. The strain between them got here to a head on a hill, the place Angel was prepared to surrender on himself, however Buffy refused to let him go. She grew to become his champion but once more, pouring her coronary heart out and serving to him see that he was price saving, though he didn’t consider it himself.
Their uncooked trade, particularly Angel’s tearful confession that a part of him wished to lose himself in her regardless of the associated fee, hit followers proper within the feels. His line, “I want to take comfort in you, and I know it will cost me my soul, and a part of me doesn’t care,” was devastatingly weak, exhibiting simply how a lot he cherished her but additionally how damaged he felt. Buffy’s emotional plea—“What about me? I love you so much… I killed you, and it didn’t help. I know everything that you did because you did it to me, and I wish that I wished you dead, but I don’t. I can’t.”—was completely gut-wrenching and a defining second for his or her relationship.
Simply when it appeared all hope was misplaced and Angel was able to succumb to the sunshine, the primary snowfall Sunnydale had ever seen prevented the dawn, sparing Angel’s life and igniting him with hope. It was a phenomenal, virtually magical metaphor for his or her journey collectively: battered by darkness however nonetheless discovering a method to stand facet by facet. As glimpses of the remainder of the gang celebrating Christmas stuffed the display screen, the ultimate scene was nothing wanting perfection. Buffy and Angel strolling hand in hand by way of the snow, within the gentle of day. It felt like a uncommon second of peace and redemption for them each—a strong reminder that even of their darkest moments, they had been stronger collectively.

#3 S02E10 – Merry Ex-Mas – 911
Once I consider Christmas episodes, 9-1-1’s Merry Ex-Mas immediately involves thoughts. Vacation themed episodes don’t usually stick with me, however this one has for thus many causes. I’ll listing them beneath:
Buck and Eddie take Christopher to see Santa Claus
This scene was the explanation I began watching the present. With out figuring out something in regards to the present, I assumed Buck was a homosexual man pining for a straight man. I now perceive that I used to be utterly off with that assumption (…nicely, was I?) and that there could possibly be loads of causes Buck didn’t right that girl when she stated he and Eddie have “an adorable son” proper? Anyhow, it was additionally nice to see Buck assist Eddie kind by way of his reservations by permitting Shannon, Eddie’s estranged spouse, again into Christopher’s life.
Athena and Bobby Take Their Relationship to the Subsequent Stage
Athena asks Bobby to maneuver in along with her and Bobby will get a little bit of chilly toes. He misplaced his total household in a hearth that he nonetheless feels responsible for inflicting, so it’s honest to know why he’s not sure of this. Transferring in with Athena means gaining an on the spot household, which everyone knows he loves, however you possibly can nonetheless see him battling that feeling of whether or not or not he deserved this happiness. I’m glad that he knew he did and by the tip of the episode [SPOILER ALERT] he proposes to Athena! She in fact says sure – it was a phenomenal second.
Maddie and Her Hatred for Christmas
After we’re launched to Maddie this season, we study that she’s on the run from her abusive husband. When Buck and Chimney convey over a Christmas tree and decorations for her (a manner for Chimney to apologize – nevertheless, I like that that is additionally a Madney Begins, however I digress) her response to it was a bit excessive to me, however after we study why she doesn’t like Christmas then all of it begins to make sense. Up till this episode, we had no thought what Doug, her abusive husband, regarded like (we knew his voice from a threatening telephone name to Maddie) however after we noticed how Maddie’s final Christmas went, her response was legitimate. Not solely that, we lastly noticed Doug and – the shock on my face at this reveal! It was the person who was getting near Chimney and referred to as himself Jason.
This episode was a rollercoaster of feelings, which is strictly how holidays really feel to me. Not solely that, with this episode particularly, it was the beginning of one in every of my favourite episodes of this collection (S2E13 “Combat or Flight) so it’s going to all the time be a memorable one.

#4 S05E10 – Scrooge – Martin
One in every of TV’s most memorable Christmas episodes for me is from Martin Season 5, Episode 10, “Scrooge.” stands out as one in every of TV’s most memorable Christmas episodes due to its message of generosity, reflection, and humility.
This episode is a heartfelt retelling of A Christmas Carol, the place Martin learns useful classes in regards to the true spirit of the season whereas he confronts his personal egocentric tendencies. This episode reminds viewers of the significance of cherishing what we now have, staying grounded, and serving to others, even when life is nice. It illustrates how our experiences can form us into extra giving and empathetic people, making this episode an ideal instance of how vacation specials are entertaining whereas delivering vital life classes that resonate with audiences perpetually.

#5 S02E06 – Fishes – The Bear
Once I completed episode S02E06 ‘Fishes’ of The Bear I needed to take a minute to take a breather. What a rollercoaster of an episode.
If you happen to suppose your loved ones is dysfunctional, suppose once more, this household Christmas dinner takes dysfunctional to a complete different stage.
The episode is a flashback from about 5 years in the past. Carmy returns from Copenhagen to spend Christmas along with his household. Current on the Berzatto family are Carmy’s mom Donna (performed by the long-lasting Jamie Lee Curtis), his siblings Michael and Natalie, his cousin Michelle and her boyfriend Stevie, Richie and his pregnant spouse Tiffany, the Fak brothers Neil and Theodore, Uncle Cicero, and Donna’s on-and-off boyfriend Lee. Donna (a temperamental alcoholic) drunkenly prepares a meal based mostly on the Feast of the Seven Fishes. Whereas it’s apparent that Donna is out of her depth cooking the feast by herself, she harshly rebuffs anybody who volunteers to assist. Because the episode progresses, Donna turns into increasingly chaotic and erratic. The dialog on the dinner desk can be beginning to get extra poisonous, particularly between Lee and Michael, the latter even begins throwing forks throughout the desk.
Donna who has joined the desk is sort of a volcano that’s about to erupt. Which ultimately she does solely as a result of Natalie asks her if she’s okay. Which Carmy and Michal warned Natalie to not ask. Donna loses it, leaves the room solely to crash her automobile into the lounge as Carmy and Natalie stare at one another in shock.
