holiday episode
Festive special broadcast
A holiday episode is an installment of a television series built around a seasonal celebration—typically Christmas, Halloween, or Thanksgiving in American TV.
These episodes often feature themed plots, special guests, or departures from the show's usual tone: The Halloween episode is always the scariest of the season.
Holiday episodes have become a genre convention, with some shows producing memorable annual traditions.
