The time when TV networks put out holiday specials or festive episodes is in late November or early December. Many of them are new, and some of them are so old you could just reenact them. They are memorable in a variety of ways.
During the early 2000s, I loved a lot of holiday episodes from my favorite cartoons, such as the Powerpuff Girls racing to get to Santa and the North Pole before Santa, Billy andMandy Save Christmas, and Bender becoming Santa for a night on Futurama. They felt like regular episodes in the shows they belong to during the holiday season, even though they had just the right amount of sweet. The Billy &Mandy episode features Mr. Skarr as a mall Santa who gets kicked out of the store. I have a scene in my brain that is permanent.
American Dad's Christmas-themed episodes were one of my favorites. I haven't watched the show in a long time, but I always loved how they felt the need to top themselves in sheer ridiculousness, up to and including the Smith family making an enemy out of Santa when they accidentally murdered him. The show has always been ridiculous, but those episodes run even further with that.
