“The Big Bang Theory”: Season 2, Episode 11 “The Gift Hypothesis”
With Chuck Lorre’s comedy “Big Bang Theory” about Sheldon Cooper’s nerd flat share, it’s actually very simple: Episode eleven of each season of the series always takes place at Christmas. In the second season, Sheldon faces a problem that we all know: When he learns that Penny has a Christmas present for him, he wants to show his gratitude and think of something suitable for her. In his “gift hypothesis”, however, it has to be something that should be roughly equivalent to Penny’s gift. Because he cannot make up his mind, he buys several gifts at once and then spontaneously decides which one is appropriate.

For a short moment he is then in the parallel world.

“How I Met Your Mother”: Season 6, Episode 12 “Positive Thinking”
There are just so many festive “How I Met Your Mother” episodes. Immediately after “Positive Thinking” comes “How Lily Stole Christmas” (Season 2, Episode 11) and “Symphony of Enlightenment” (Season 7, Episode 12). “Positive thinking” stands out because of the setting (Ted actually wants to meet his friends in the cinema for the Christmas classic “Isn’t life beautiful?” And has a gingerbread house as a cinema snack) and the message. Everyone suddenly thinks about their lives when they think Lily is pregnant.

The Simpsons family has been with us for so long that we’ve lost track of all the Christmas episodes that exist.

Maggie is heavily pregnant – and doesn’t know who the father is. The children come home for Christmas to spend Christmas Eve with Homer and Marge. Little by little, the family problems are brought up.

“Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”: Season 1, Episode 11 “A Winter Night’s Dream”
For all series fans who also like it a little creepier at Christmas: Like everyone in the witches’ circle, the “Church of the Night”, to which Sabrina is known, celebrates a festival at the winter solstice, the longest night of the year. Quasi the Christmas of the witches. The witch families come together and sit by a cozy and sturdy fire, sing their songs, tell ghost stories – and move closer together to protect themselves against the supernatural beings who may appear that night to do their jokes. Doesn’t sound that different from ours.
