From the Holiday Armadillo to Phoebe's classic Christmas jingle, here are the best festive offerings...
We love Friends. But when it comes to Christmas, the iconic comedy show has contributed some lacklustre offerings to the festive TV canon. Friends, thanks to its US base, always seemed to deliver the goods on Thanksgiving, leaving Christmas to mop up the leftovers. But that doesn’t mean there’s no festive fun to be had: the show offered eight Christmas-themed episodes and some of them are absolute classics.
So take a look, load them up on Netflix, and have a few hours of Christmas with Friends. Here’s our ranking of your options…If you were watching Friends back when new episodes were being released, you’ll remember that it was a highlight of the week. If you’re anything like us then you’ll have been disappointed to find that, after seven days of waiting, you were getting a flashback clip episode. It just felt like the writers were phoning it in and filling time, just to hit their episode quota.
The One with Christmas in Tulsa is one of those phone-ins, and sees Chandler face temptation with his colleague, played by a sultry Selma Blair. Amidst the flirtations, we look back at favourite episodes. It’s a passable, but dull episode.This barely feels like a Christmas episode – see what we were saying about Thanksgiving getting all of the attention? – but sees Ross panic when his girlfriend Mona suggests sending out a Christmas card. It’s a perfectly fun episode but lacks real impact.
