While there is a world of possibilities for shows and episodes, The Hollywood Reporter has rounded up some fan favorites, new and old. And while there are always classic Christmas flicks that people love to watch, sometimes people may only have an hour to spare during the busy holiday season, which is perfect for a television episode. So whether someone is sitting in front of a TV, computer or cellphone, shows such as The O.C., The Simpsons, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Ted Lasso, Mad Men, Abbott Elementary, The Office and Gossip Girl have at least one festival installment. Below, THR takes a look at 35 memorable episodes dedicated to the Christmas holiday. 'The O.C.'

It was also the episode where Seth (Adam Brody) memorably fails to juggle two love interests, Anna (Samaire Armstrong) and Summer (Rachel Bilson), at his family's Christmas party. 'Seinfeld' The classic episode introduced the world to the anti-Christmas holiday "Festivus." After the episode aired, Festivus became more widely celebrated, with many honoring it on Dec. 23. 'Friends' Image Credit: Screengrab Friends has given us 10 seasons of Thanksgiving and Christmas episodes but in season eight, in the midst of the awkward phase between Ross and Mona's relationship, instead of deciding to slow down, Ross takes huge steps forward in their romance by offering to send out a couple's holiday card when he's cornered. When he vents to the rest of the gang about his decision, they urge him to speak with Mona about the card but instead he leaves the conversation having just given her the only key to his apartment.

The season two episode also sees the writers celebrate "Ludachristmas," Tracy legally prohibited from drinking alcohol, and Kenneth wanting to teach the gang the true meaning of Christmas.

(Ditto for Lindsay and George Michael.) Later, George Michael (Michael Cera) and his father bond by rebuilding the Banana stand, which local teens tore down as part of an annual Christmas tradition. 'Gossip Girl' Image Credit: Courtesy of Photofest Any day living on the Upper East Side is filled with its dose of drama and controversy, but a Gossip Girl holiday gathering is the boiling point for almost every storyline of the season. On Christmas in season one, Blair's estranged father brings home his lover Roman, Chuck and Nate jet off to Monaco and Dan tries to surprise Serena for the holidays while Vanessa and Jenny help Serena find him a lonely boy-approved gift. 'Community' NBC's Community brought stop-motion animation back into primetime with its 2010 Christmas episode. The show's pop-culture encyclopedia, Abed (Danny Pudi), wakes up to find out that the entire world is in stop-motion - and brings the whole study group together to discover the true meaning of Christmas. 'The Office' Image Credit: Courtesy of NBC Through the years, The Office's Christmas parties and shenanigans have been orchestrated via Michael Scott, but in season nine, post-Michael Dunder Mifflin decides to let Dwight plan the annual holiday shindig. Being Dwight, he hosts a Pennsylvania-Dutch themed party that ends abruptly when Jim has to leave to tend to his other job. 'The West Wing' The White House drama's first Christmas episode centered on Toby (Richard Schiff) going out of his way to give a homeless Korean War vet a proper funeral. The send-off set the tone for The West Wing. Aaron Sorkin, who penned the episode, and Schiff both won Emmys. 'Gilmore Girls' Image Credit: Courtesy of Photofest Even with their overly festive town pride and eclectic holidays, the Gilmore Girls never really got into the Christmas spirit through the seven seasons of the show. But in between Thanksgivings at Emily's and the New Year in season two, there was a Bracebridge dinner that resembled a Christmas dinner. The Independence Inn hosts a gathering equipped with Elizabethan costumes for most of the town's citizens while Rory tries to keep the budding rivalry between Dean and Jess under control. The festivities include horse-drawn sl
