8 Best American Dad Christmas Episodes - Ranked

2. The Most Adequate Christmas Ever - Season 3, Episode 8

American Dad For Whom The Sleigh Bell Tolls
FOX

The Most Adequate Christmas Ever is one of the boldest Christmas Specials American Dad has ever put out. What sets this one apart from the others is its interesting take on the afterlife.

Once Stan wakes up, after being killed by the perfect Christmas tree he was seeking out, he petitions to return to his family on Earth, who will die if he doesn't do so quickly, being they're freezing to death because of his Xmas arrogance. This leads to a trial in limbo where he must prove that he actually deserves it. However, the angel representing him is less than capable.

With Stan's back against the wall he takes matters into his own hands and hijacks Heaven in order to get God to grant him the second chance. The episode has a lot going for it especially the fiery shootouts with ArchAngels, badass flying Griffins and some seriously epic Chariot chase sequences.

When the credits roll on this holiday fun-filled ride, it will definitely feel like much more than just an adequate yuletide special.
