As soon as Thanksgiving arrives, it brings a lot of joy, excitement, and peace with it because, what comes next is Christmas that brings light, hope, and new beginnings. It is also reflected in almost every show and sitcom. For instance, the NBC sitcom, Friends, celebrated Christmas in almost every season. Along with a lot of drama and humor, the ’90s sitcom served with perfect Christmas vibes which fans still go back to.

With Christmas around the corner, here is every episode in order for you to dive into the cheerful spirit of the holiday.

The One Where Friends Celebrated Christmas

Unlike Thanksgiving, the fan-favorite show incorporated Christmas vibes extremely beautifully. Brace yourselves to celebrate the holiday with your favorite Friends.

The One with Phoebe’s Dad (Season 2, Episode 9)

Starting with Phoebe saying, “Ugly naked guy’s decorating his tree,” this episode was the first Christmas episode of the show. This episode was fun because Ross still tried to make amends with Rachel for making the pros and cons list. Meanwhile, Phoebe was stunned to find the picture of her father in Ross’ frame.

She immediately rushed to her grandmother, who had generic pictures of a man in the frame that already came with it. So, spilling the truth, Granny told Phoebe that she did not know who the father was and handed her an address, which was her birth father’s. Now, Phoebe wanted to meet her father, and Joey and Chandler accompanied her, hoping to finish their gift shopping. However, she could not find the courage to face her father, which the guys supported.

Watch this episode to see how raw and beautiful everyone’s bond is with each other. Although Phoebe’s behavior was strange, the acceptance she got from the gang was commendable.

The One Where Rachel Quits (Season 3, Episode 10)

On one hand, Rachel tried hard to sustain her job at the Central Perk cafe. And another, Joey tried to convince Phoebe that the Christmas trees had been fulfilling their purpose of living by bringing happiness to people because she did not approve of trees being cut down in their prime time to be decorative pieces for people.

Meanwhile, Ross accidentally broke a little girl, Sarah’s leg, and helped her sell the Brown Bird Cookies. While Ross enjoyed helping Sarah, Rachel hated her job and had to take up the training again. After a long day of frustrating training at work, Rachel finally quit her job. Although Ross could not be the highest cookie seller, he fulfills Sarah’s dream by giving her an unforgettable experience at the guys’ apartment.

With the happy ending, this episode provided gratification at its best.

The One with the Girl from Poughkeepsie (Season 4, Episode 10)

How far can one go to find a date for oneself? If it were Ross, he would go around 2 and a half-hour train ride to do that. And if it were Rachel, she would ask Chandler to fix her up with one of his office buddies! Although none of them got the date, their efforts brought a lot of humor. On the contrary, Monica being the head chef at a restaurant was painful.

While Monica tried to live through the day, Joey came to her rescue and let her fake-fire him to teach the bullies a lesson. This episode perfectly represented how each and every one of them had each other’s backs. And the episode ended with Phoebe’s perfect Christmas jingle that she wrote herself.

The One with the Inappropriate Sister (Season 5, Episode 10)

Chandler and Monica had been keeping their relationship a secret while Ross lived with Chandler and Joey. Serving the perfect bromance goals, Joey and Ross lived through the Wednesday. Meanwhile, Phoebe collected money for the Salvation Army during holidays. Rachel had a date with Danny, who had a little inappropriate relationship with his sister.

Danny tried to convenience Rachel to stay with him. However, finding it extremely strange, Rachel broke up with Danny. Throughout this episode, you will come across amusing jokes, Phoebe’s anger, and, of course, a lot of fun watching Danny and his sister, Krista!

The One with the Routine (Season 6, Episode 10)

One of the most exciting episodes of the show is this one because millions of fans have recreated this Ross-Monica moment in their lives. Monica hid her Christmas presents every year to keep the fun going. So, while Joey, Ross, and Monica danced on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve, the rest of them arranged a search hunt for Monica’s hidden presents.

Monica and Ross had been fans of Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve since they were children. Therefore, when Janine invited them to come to the show and dance, they felt ecstatic. In order to be noticed by the camera, they decided to perform “The Routine” which they performed in high school.

This episode is fun to watch because we see Ross and Monica’s obsession at its peak. Additionally, how could watching Joey trying to fight his attraction to his roommate, Janine, not be an entertaining experience?

The One with the Holiday Armadillo (Season 7, Episode 10)

If you want to see Ross’ dedication to being an amazing father, this episode is the one. Along with Christmas, Ross wanted to celebrate Hanukkah because of his Jewish roots. He wanted to teach about the culture and its significance to his son, Ben, as well. Therefore, he went out of his way to do so, as Ben was already excited about getting presents from Santa Claus.

With the help of Monica, Ross successfully introduced Ben to the Hanukkah. Interestingly, because he did not get the appropriate costume, he came dressed up as an armadillo. Diving deep into the holiday spirits, this episode will make you feel cozy, happy, and at peace.

The One with the Creepy Holiday Card (Season 8, Episode 11)

While having a baby with Rachel, Ross dated Mona, who wanted to send out Christmas cards with Ross, which was not even a part of the script. Although this was what a couple in love would do, the idea made Ross extremely nervous. Plus, Mona wanted to have a conversation about “where this relationship was going?”

Since Chandler and Monica were married, they had their own Christmas plans until Chandler’s boss, Doug, invited them to dinner. Meanwhile, Ross, being Ross, gave the key to his apartment to Mona only to get the locks changed afterward. What is extremely hilarious in the entire episode is how Rachel tries so hard to resist her feelings.

While Christmas is a celebration, Ross and Mona went a different way. An amazing and perfect rollercoaster ride on this holiday is this episode.

The One with Christmas in Tulsa (Season 9, Episode 10)

Last but not least, this is one of the most emotional holiday episodes because Chandler had to move to Tulsa for his job, leaving everyone in New York. During the holiday, which they used to spend together, Chandler found himself in a vulnerable position. Monica here freaked out, thinking Chandler was cheating on her.

Chandler realized how much he hated his job. So, he quit, and he came back home as “a Christmas miracle“. What was extremely wonderful about this episode was that it contained flashbacks of all the good times that Chandler and Monica shared together.

Bringing love, joy, happiness, light, and hope, all these episodes have served as a home to each and every Friends fan. Which one is your favorite one? Drop your favorite in the comments below.
