It's an unwritten law that every TV series that is somewhat popular has to have a Christmas episode. Discuss the best, standout ones here or any good Halloween or other holiday related ones
Johnny Bravo had a fairly standard 'The main character has to take over Santa's route' but it was narrated in rhyme by Adam West, therefore making it awesome.
Invader Zim gave us one of the best Halloween episodes of a show ever with some even more screwed up designs by vasquez, plus the Christmas episode gave us the 'Hail Santa' song.

me and some friends were seriously considering going caroling with this song
Batman- The Brave and the bold only for the moment where Batman punches a robotic Santa's head off in front of two traumatized kids. "Pretend you didn't see that"
Batman - The animated series. The Joker busts out of Arkham on a rocket powered Christmas tree, kidnaps commissioner Gordon, his daughter and Bullock, tries to derail a train and commits other various felonies. All this just to (successfully) pie Batman in the face.
Robin - "You mean you've never seen 'It's a Wonderful Life?'"
Batman - "I could never get past the title"

The Real Ghostbusters accidentally bust and trap the ghosts of christmas Pat, Present and Future
A Very Venture Christmas is probably the greatest 11 minutes of Christmas special known to man.
Out of the Doctor Who Christmas specials, I'd say the best is The Christmas Invasion, followed by Voyage of the Damned.
That's all there is to it.
"He's not. He's waving to the crowd."
"No, he's heiling Hilter."
"Oh crap. He is heiling Hitler."

Robot Santa, to an elf: "Don't you ever knock? Who knows what naughty things I could be watching? I get New Orleans on this thing, you know."
West Wing, Season 3's Christmas episode "Bartlett for America" is fantastic. As is season 2's "Noel." Though their best holiday episode was "Shibboleth" for Thanksgiving in season 2.
Chuck's Christmas episode was a fantastic Die Hard parody this past year.
Also, Charlie Brown, obviously.
What the hell is wrong with you.

Hilarious.
Apparently the batsuit is pie proof.
That was great, last years "halloween" episode in black and white was also fantastic even if it didn't directly reference halloween (yeah I know they had the sameal ep but the b&w was superior).
There are very, very few times when I have laughed so hard that I have literally fallen onto the floor. Two or three of them were from this episode.
Also I'll second [third? Forth? What ever] the Futurama X-mas episodes. Also Bender's big score for the Holiday Icon's song.

Oh wait. You said best.
In that case...
<baby jesus is out of the manager>
<what?! Camels poo toys?>
<Ive been naughty>
<all your xmas favorite xmas videos from brocks room, Miracle on 69th Street, Jingle Balls, Frothy the Blowman, Rudolph the Red-- what?! what!>
EDIT: Damn, can't remember what its name was. You win a nickel if you know what I'm talking about.
Or- "He's not the holiday rapist! He's the Christmas rapist! He only rapes on Christmas!"
"Dad, you just killed the zombie Flanders!"
"He was a zombie?"
Peanuts and The Simpsons are also tops for Halloween. Also good are South Park "Spookyfish" where alternate-dimension Cartman is good, Buffy the Vampire Slayer "Halloween" where people turn into what their costumes are, and King of the Hill "Hilloween" where Hank has to save trick-or-treating from evangelicals. But the best non-Peanuts/Simpsons episode I've seen is Freaks and Geeks "Tricks and Treats." Martin Starr as the Bionic Woman is hilarious.
It's think it's Summer Gleason, not Barbara Gordon.
I liked the first segment of Holiday Knights, where Harley and Ivy kidnap Bruce Wayne and force him to fund a shopping spree. The other 2 segments in that episode are much weaker, though. Plus it aired in September, does that even count as a Christmas episode?
You could have stopped right there. Those are the two best holiday episodes ever. The Halloween episode is simply awesome.
I watch them both quite frequently with my kids. We watch Zim on DVD pretty much every night right before my two youngest go to bed. My youngest (son), knows the Santa song by heart.
"Bow doooooow... Bow doooooow... before the power of santa! Or be cruuuuuuuushed, be cruuuuuuuuushed... byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy his jolly boots of DOOOOOM!"
^^^ awesomeness.
Thank god, last post and someone finally mentions American Dad.
Halo, and goodbye!
*BANG*
Nothing? I said Halo. Oh screw you thats funny.
Season 3: News Radio In Space.
Season 4: News Radio on the Titanic
In both cases it was the same characters and the same set (an office building) but with a few token props thrown in. EG: Dave's office becomes the bridge of the titanic. The mens room becomes the ships boiler room etc...
And of course the typical News Radio "best writing of any sitcom ever" thing to carry it all along.
you know nothing.
Arbor Day specials are the worst.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/It's_Arbor_Day,_Charlie_Brown )
"Two Cathedrals" is going to have to choke a bitch.
Though it is one of the better Futurama episodes, which puts it way up there in terms of comedies.
"Blood Orgy!"
Fantastic Easter Special
"Happy Easter Kyle"
"Happy Easter Jesus"
:Kyle shivs Jesus:
Red Sleigh Down
"Christmas is a very special time of year, but…this year it almost didn't happen. There's a man named Jesus who gave his life to save me. And so I declare that every year on Christmas Day. we should remember Jesus for what he did, and thank him for it. From now on, Christmas will be a day for remembering a brave man named Jesus."
Which one? There were two.
But hey, it gives us this:
And that's always a good thing.
