10 Best Christmas TV Episodes You Can Watch On Netflix

10. Friends - "The One With The Holiday Armadillo"

Of the countless Friends Christmas specials, The One with the Holiday Armadillo is regarded as not just the greatest holiday special in the history of the show but one of the best Christmas episodes of all time.

This is perhaps one of the wackiest episodes of the sit-com, as Ross attempts to convince his son that Hanukkah is as cool as Christmas with the help of Santa's 'Tex-Mex friend: the Holiday Armadillo'. The armadillo in question is created and famously brought to life by Ross as he works with the only costume left in the shop in an attempt to compete with the traditional Christmas festivities. Things only get stranger as Chandler appears dressed as Santa and Joey as Superman with Ross' son unsure what all this has to do with the Festival of Lights.

Alongside the broad physical comedy and fun script, the episode has a positive message at the heart of it as Ross wants to connect with his son and introduce him to aspects of Jewish culture through his albeit misguided attempt to make it accessible. Chances are if you haven't seen this episode you will at least have seen the famous image of Ross in the nightmarish armadillo costume. Iconic.
