1. Full House- "Our Very First Christmas Show"

You can't forget Jesse's speech about the true meaning of Christmas and the moment that the Tanner family is surprised by their wrapped gifts unexpectedly appearing on the luggage carousel. Even they couldn't see what the holidays had in store for them and it was great.

2. Pinky and the Brain- "A Pinky and the Brain Christmas"

These two were always be trying to take over the world, and Christmas was no exception for this duo. The Brain plans to use a doll delivered by Santa as a mind control tool. You may remember that he has a change of heart when finds out that Pinky's only Christmas wish was for Brain's happiness.

4. Hey Arnold! - "Arnold's Christmas"

The holidays are all about emotions, so when this powerful episode came along, we were still taken by surprise. In the segment, Arnold reunites Mr. Hyunh with his daughter as his Secret Santa gift.

Steve accidentally breaks Laura's antique Christmas ornament, but she decides to forgive him and invite him to spend the holidays with her family, after she finds out he was going to be alone on Christmas Eve.

While Dexter grapples with the idea behind Santa Claus, he attempts to prove that the man in the red suit is actually his father in disguise.

7. Fresh Prince of Bel-Air- "Twas the Night Before Christening"

While every episode was pure gold, hearing Boys II Men perform "O Holy Night" brought Christmas to life. This just gives me goosebumps every time.

8. Tiny Toon Adventures- "It's a Wonderful Tiny Toons Christmas Special"

Because who doesn't love it when our favorite animated characters take on Christmas!

9. Boy Meets World- "A Very Topanga Christmas"

10. Beverly Hills, 20210 - "A Walsh Family Christmas"

In only the second season of the show, they made this Christmas episode a real tear-jerker. So grab the tissues because this seriously adorable ending will get you into the Christmas spirit.

"Wouldn't it be great if they could lose the [plane] passengers instead of the luggage?" asks Jesse after Kimmy comes back from a trip. "Go live with a wildebeest," was one from Danny Tanner.
