12 Days of Christmas TV #1: Lost – The Constant (2008)
I know there will be some among you who will not like this choice. Not because The Constant isn’t one of the greatest TV episodes of all-time – that’s undisputed fact at this point – but more the question of whether this counts as a Christmas episode. To me, it’s a no-brainer. Not only because… Read more

12 Days of Christmas TV #2: Peep Show – Seasonal Beatings (2010)
I know, I know. It’s now 2024, but I’m still within my rights to finish this series! And what an episode to be the penultimate in the series.

12 Days of Christmas TV #4: Mr. Robot – 401 Unauthorized (2019)
When I think Christmas TV, one of the first things that comes to mind is the opening of this episode, so it just had to earn a high spot on this list. Without giving too much away, something completely shocking starts the episode off the back of a twist-heavy finale of the previous season. There… Read more

12 Days of Christmas TV #5: The Bear – Fishes (2023)
“Don’t ask if her if she’s okay” I’m a sucker for character introductions where they are not even on screen. From the opening conversation between Sugar and Mikey, you get a really good idea of what kind of character Momma Donna Berzatto is. It’s also clear that at some point during the episode someone will… Read more

12 Days of Christmas TV #6: The Office – Christmas Special: Parts 1 & 2 (2003)
Interestingly, this is the only episode, or pair of episodes, on this list that also serves as a series finale, so for that reason this one is a bit tougher to recommend without context and a bit tougher not to spoil. That’s why I’m going to spoil it, but I’m sure most of you reading… Read more

12 Days of Christmas TV #7: The Sopranos – …To Save Us All From Satan’s Power (2001)
What has become probably my second favourite TV show of all-time with a Christmas episode in its best ever year? You know it had to make the list. This episode in a lot of ways is a microcosm for the tonal balance of The Sopranos. It features some of the funniest moments in the show’s… Read more
