I imagine anything called a Christmas special would go. But, as I said in another thread, I could never understand setting a Christmas special during another time of year. I remember a Downton Abbey special was set in the summer, and viewers were outraged!Clarification- set at Christmas or just called a 'Christmas Special'??

Which year though? Surely each has to stand by itself? Or do we lump 40 odd years of them in as one entry?
If thats the case, Only Fools & Horses, the Simpsons, Gavin & Stacey etc will be classified as one entry & not individual ones.
May need some MOD clarification on this one.
Good point.
Guess we ever have to pick a particular year for it to get in the mix!
I'm sure our every vigilant mods will sort it out 0 -

Late Late Toy Show 2020 has to be the most special of the lot. Other years may have been more entertaining, but 2020 was about the magic of children and Christmas, despite tough times.
Edit: for clarity, even though it has no connection to Absolutely Fabulous, I'm nominating this specific episode. Think of it as a hug for you

Nope, still open- we'll see if we get a few more first.
I still have to throw mine in, been too busy sunning myself. :pac:
Nice one, have a couple more to add so...
The classic, A charlie Brown christmas has to be included, love this. Hadn't watched it in a few years & did so again in the run up to Christmas 2020 and was delighted to see it still held up superbly.
Family Guy – A Very Special Family Guy Freakin’ Christmas. Am a big Family guy fan so had to have this one in here.
South Park – Mr Hankey, The Christmas Poo, slightly crude, but I found this episode hilarious as the town of SP tries to ban christmas completely in an attempt to reach max political correctness, myself & the kids still sing the title song every now & again over christmas just to wind my wife up who absolutely abhors South Park
Futurama - The Christmas Story, another animated special, but I loved this show, way funnier than the Simpsons but terribly underrated for some reason, the first christmas episode about Fry's first christmas in the future was brilliantly done, a great mix of comedy & drama & deserves a nomination."I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year" - Charles Dickens

"What's wrong with you, you moron?!" "Oh, just a couple of fillings" never fails to make me laugh.

Del = "Just my brother..."
