All-Time Classic Christmas Episodes to Binge This Holiday Season

‘Tis the season to stream Christmas episodes and ignore your family.

Content availability may vary over time.

It’s rotting season everyone. There’s no time like the present to become one with your couch and binge these classic holiday TV episodes. Even if you’ve seen The Office’s Michael Scott throw on the Santa hat a dozen times (or for the first time), watching during the holidays can feel like a warm mug of piping hot tea for your soul. Either that, or the dysfunction of these TV favorites makes you feel a little better about your holiday situation.  

Whatever your reasoning, check out these all-time classic Christmas episodes to binge this holiday season. 

The Office, “A Benihana Christmas” (Season 3, Episodes 10 and 11) 

This two-parter has all of the Office chaos — with a Christmas twist. Michael is heartbroken after a misguided (and creepy) card ends his relationship with Carol, so Andy decides to treat him to a trip to Benihana with Dwight and Jim. At the office, the Party Planning Committee is fracturing and a showdown must occur.

Downton Abbey, “Christmas at Downton Abbey” (Season 2, Episode 9)

In 1919, shortly after the end of WWI, tensions arise as Downton Abbey hosts a lavish Christmas party. If you watch nothing else, tune in for the final scene of the episode for one of the most romantic Christmas moments in the history of television.
