Like many procedural crime shows, Bones is a show that can be viewed by both casual viewers and avid fans alike. While the “case of the week” style premise of the series makes it easy to watch out of order, there’s a value in watching each season of Bones chronologically in order to follow the recurring story arcs and take note of the characters’ evolution.

The episode featured an early appearance by John Francis Daley’s Lance Sweets, an FBI psychologist who would eventually replace Zack Addy as a core member of the series. The interplay between Sweets and Booth adds humor to the episode, as Sweets is more expressive in his celebration of the holiday.
“The Santa in the Slush” Advances ‘Bones’ Central Romance Close ✕ Remove Ads Although Bones teased the eventual romance between its lead characters, “The Santa in the Slush” confirmed Booth and Brennan’s relationship by featuring their first kiss.
