Holiday

# Header 1 (Titles)

## Header 2 (Subtitles/large quotes/etc.)

### Header 3 (Section break/etc.)


## Formatting guidelines:
- **Bolded text** can be used by selecting text and clicking the "**F**" icon on the body text toolbar or by beginning and ending text with two asterisks.
- _Italic text_ can be used the same by selecting the "_I_" icon in the editor or by using underscores before and after text.
- Underlined text uses the "U" icon or by beginning and ending text with , respectively (this rarely works, as can be seen, and I don't understand how to make it work).
- To insert a link in the [Strapi panel](https://scrapi.likewise.tv/admin/content-manager/collectionType/api::blog.blog?page=1&pageSize=10&sort=title:ASC), select the text you'd like to be linked, select the three dots "..." in the above toolbar, and click the link icon. Upon doing so, simply replace the "link" text with the link. Linked text will automatically be underlined (links can also be included in header text). Links must follow the **https://** format.
- Within the same "..." options, text can be formatted with a strikethrough, ordered/unordered lists, HTML inset code, body image inserts, and block quotes.
- Bold, italic, and hyperlink options can be combined: **_[EXAMPLE](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/shrek-808)_**


## Block quotes:
- Block quotes can be started by using ">" followed by a space before a text line, or by selecting the " icon from the "..." menu in the text editor.
- Block quotes are automatically bolded, but can be formatted with the prior options.
- Example: 
> OOOOOOhhhh look it's a block quote yippee!


## Unordered lists:
- Unordered lists are formatted by beginning each new line with a dash, "-"
- Item 2
- Item 3


## Ordered lists:

21. Ordered lists are formatted by beginning each item with a number followed by a period, "5./3./1./etc."
22. Ordered lists suck because the Strapi platform recognizes each line in the entire text box to be counted, hence this out of order list.
23. Ordered list items must be separated from the prior text by two blank line entries.
24. Creating an ordered list in proper order can be achieved by typing in the number manually and bolding it:

**1. Item 1**

**2. Item 2**


## Body images:
- Selecting the picture icon will automatically insert the selected image into the text.
- This will be denoted by an exclamation point, "!" and the image's assigned alt text.
- The image will not be displayed with any assigned description text, unline the header image.
- Larger images are preferred.
- Images will be landscape.
- Example: 

![Pretty view :)](https://likewisestorageprod.azureedge.net/strapi/uploads/pexels_jaime_reimer_2662116_f4fbd9fa3e.jpeg)

## Uplaoding pictures:
- "previewimage" and "featureimage" boxes on the blog editor panel can be used to upload images.
- Upon uploading an image, one can edit the alt text (used for accessibility purposes to describe the content of the image) as well as the image's description (displayed below it on the blog post).
- The "previewimage" picture will show up on links, search results, and the blog homepage preview.
- The "featureimage" will be displayed on the blog post and will feature the description text.
- Images can be formatted as horizontal or vertical from the "templateType" dropdown menu at the top of the blog editor and will wrap text accordingly, make sure to upload the corresponding image type to fit the selected format.

## Author, tags, and read time:
- Selecting a read duration can be done with the "readDuration" dropdown menu at the top of the blog editor.
- Selecting tags for the post can be done in the "tags" dropdown menu at the bottom of the post editor, multiple tags can be applied to a post.
- Selecting an author can be done with the "author" dropdown menu at the bottom of the same page.
- Adding tags or authors can be done from the Strapi dashboard by selecting the "Content Manager" item and selecting either the "Tag" or "Author" subcategories and following the given prompts.

## Lists:
- Below the body text box in the blog post editor is the "blogList" box.
- By clicking the "+" icon, one can add mulitple numbered list items that display an image and a description that can be edited with the same formatting options as described above.
- One can add a specific image (formatted vertically) by using the "image" box.
- To add an item that automatically links to dot TV and pulls the according item cover for the movie or show, click the "+" icon at the bottom of the list item box.
- Select whether the item is a movie or show from the "category" dropdown menu.
- In the "thirdPartyId" box, paste the numeric code displayed at the end of the movie/show's link. Example: https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/shrek-808 -> paste "808"

_Make sure to check out [our recent post](https://likewisetv.com/blog/best-free-christmas-movies-to-stream-in-2022) if you’d like to know where to find your favorite free-to-watch Christmas content._

# The Most Unhinged Christmas TV Show Episodes 

Movies that take place during the Christmas season are some of the most widely available, easily adaptable, and remake-friendly stories out there (get [_Scrooged_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/scrooged-9647)). However, the same cannot be said for more episodic forms of media. When it comes to TV series with established worlds and characters that aren’t specifically written to fit into a holiday-centric narrative at conception, it is no small task to get such characters out of their routines and into one that is just as familiar to audiences as it is unfamiliar to the characters. That being said, here are a few examples of TV episodes where characters bring their own–let’s say–_charm_ to the holiday season.

_Warning: watching these episodes could result in winding up on the naughty list._

### Our 5 top picks:
1. **[_It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-2710) (Hulu) - Season 6, Episode 13:** Oh, boy... _It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia_’s “A Very Sunny Christmas” is, for lack of better words, an absolute trainwreck. As Charlie, Dennis, Mac, Dee, and Frank prepare for the holiday, they can’t help but let their trademark awfulness chip away at the ol’ Christmas cheer. Out of all the shenanigans these characters have gotten up to over the years, this is one of the only episodes where it’s mildly reasonable to root for the staff of Paddy’s Pub. As the five friends spend their holiday unearthing repressed childhood memories and being hurt both physically and emotionally, one can only ask, “why can’t we all just throw rocks at trains?”
2. **[_The Office_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/the-office-2316) (Peacock) - Season 5, Episode 11:** As with any other episode of _The Office_ (US), one can expect some touching moments from season 5’s holiday episode, “Moroccan Christmas.” However, those expectations should be cut down dramatically for this particular adventure in Scranton, PA. This episode sees the Dunder Mifflin employees once again thrown into another classic disaster by their well-intentioned manager, Michael; but this time with a fun Moroccan theme! As colleagues clash and gifts are given, the personal lives of the characters are, as per usual, brought into the spotlight in the most awkward fashion possible. The holidays prove just how dysfunctional every family can be, but this episode serves as cringe-inducing evidence that it could always be worse.
3. **[_Community_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/community-18347) (Netflix) - Season 2, Episode 11:** _Community_ has a handful of holiday specials that chronicle Greendale Community College’s least studious study group’s members’ personal issues and traditions. However, the second season’s “Abed’s Uncontrollable Christmas” easily takes the cake due to its hilarious, deeply emotional story. The study group’s brilliant and loveable geek, Abed, has his reality shifted when he awakes to find that the world around him has adopted a stop-motion animation styling, prompting his friends to address their growing concerns about his mental health through a series of [_Rudolph_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/rudolph-the-red-nosed-reindeer-13382)-esque adventures aimed at discovering the true meaning of Christmas.
4. **[_Seinfeld_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/seinfeld-1400) (Netflix) - Season 9, Episode 10:** This classic sitcom’s episode, “The Strike,” features hilarious discourse regarding the legitimacy of the most iconic Festivus (an alternative to Christmas) facets: the Festivus Pole, the feats of strength, the airing of grievances, and many more not-so-traditional traditions. There’s really not a whole lot more than can be said about the story of this particular bit of nothing without ruining the unique experience of getting to watch the episode firsthand. Just remember: it’s a Festivus for the rest of us!
5. **[_South Park_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/south-park-2190) (Prime Video) - Season 2, Episode 16:** There’s nothing quite like breaking out into uncontrollable laughter for all the wrong reasons, and _South Park_’s “Merry Christmas Charlie Manson!” promises just that. As fans of the irreverent satire know all too well, _South Park_ takes no prisoners, leaves no joke untold, and makes fun of just about any person that its talented writing team can think of. This time, it’s Hollywood's most charming cult leader, Charles Manson. Give your loved ones the best gift this Christmas by watching this family-unfriendly holiday special sans-family.

These absurd holiday specials are all great in their own ways, but if you’re looking for more self-contained jolly tales, read on to know more about the best Christmas movies available to stream this December!

All the Best Christmas Titles to Stream in December 2022

The streaming sleigh bells are a-ringing! We’re instinctively humming Christmas carols, cheesy holiday movies are thriving, and big networks are attempting to copy the Hallmark formula to capitalize on the nation’s few weeks of Christmas spirit. Whether you’re seeking that rush of serotonin from a [feel-good story](https://likewise.com/ask/What-is-your-favorite-feel-good-show-or-movie-63936e91dc499e00626619b3) or looking for something a bit more off-the-wall to watch this holiday season, we’ve got you covered. 

Here are all the best Christmas movies you can stream for free in 2022. When it comes to [free streaming](https://likewise.com/list/The-Best-Movies-You-Can-Stream-for-Free-623cc7405e61460053137a3d), there are four services that stand above the rest: Tubi, Vudu, Peacock, and Freevee ([Amazon Prime Video](https://likewisetv.com/spotlight/prime)’s ad-supported platform). If you’re tired of rewatching classics like [_Elf_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/elf-10719) and [_How the Grinch Stole Christmas_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/how-the-grinch-stole-christmas-8871), add one (or all) of these movies to your watchlist this winter.

# Free Christmas Movies on Tubi:
- **[_A Christmas Carol_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/a-christmas-carol-13189) (1984):** Based on the [novella](https://likewise.com/books/pznPDgAAQBAJ) by Charles Dickens, this classic Christmas tale follows Ebenezer Scrooge, a bitter old miser who makes excuses for his uncaring nature as he learns real compassion thanks to three ghosts who visit him on Christmas Eve. Many fans of the film believe it to be the most faithful retelling of Dickens’ story because of the accurate depictions of the supporting characters. 
>“HANDS DOWN the BEST version of the Dickens tale EVER. [George C. Scott](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001715/) is IMMACULATE as the miserly Scrooge, and every other role is just as superbly acted.” -[@aiden_delcour](https://likewisetv.com/profile/aiden_delcour)
- **[_Trapped in Paradise_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/trapped-in-paradise-23719):** Residents of a friendly Pennsylvania town foil three brothers' plan to rob a bank on Christmas Eve. This underrated gem has become a yearly tradition for some [Nic Cage](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000115/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_3) fanatics. _Trapped in Paradise_ would serve as a nice change of pace during your Christmas movie marathon this holiday season. 
>“Nothing like a cozy Christmas bank heist movie. I don't care what most people say about this flick, I totally dig the weird energy of this movie. Cage brings his trademark freakouts at moments, and it's just entertaining all around.” -[@queer-giraffe](https://likewisetv.com/profile/queer-giraffe)
- **[_Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/rare-exports:-a-christmas-tale-48395):** This bizarre dark fantasy is a Finnish Christmas tale about the frightening discovery of an evil Santa Claus who is unleashed at a local excavation site. The story is filled with mood, mystery, and anticipation. But be warned: there are quite a few shots of naked old men in the snow... It’s strange, but fitting for Finland’s distinct style of humor that’s apparent throughout the entire movie.
>“I went into this movie thinking I wasn't going to enjoy it. I was wrong. I can't say much because spoilers, but give it a go. Seriously. Go.” -[@heavymetalunicorn](https://likewisetv.com/profile/heavymetalunicorn)

# Free Christmas Movies on Vudu:
- **[_A Christmas Movie Christmas_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/a-christmas-movie-christmas-642949):** On Christmas Eve, when Eve and her cynical sister Lacy make wishes to Santa, they wake up in Christmas Town and find themselves trapped inside a Christmas movie where they are the stars. This self-aware story pokes fun at the clichés of most Christmas stories, making for a fantastic, cheesy holiday watch. 
>“Really funny and cute! It’s a lot like the Disney movie [_Enchanted_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/enchanted-4523) where they are aware of how ridiculous everything is” -[@hannah_grivna](https://likewisetv.com/profile/hannah_grivna)
- **[_Black Christmas_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/black-christmas-9656):** The first (and only) Christmas slasher movie on this list! An escaped maniac returns to his childhood home on Christmas Eve, which is now a sorority house, and begins to murder the sorority sisters one by one. This film is a remake of the original [_Black Christmas_ (1974)](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/black-christmas-16938) that explores the background and motivation of the killer. If you’re in the mood for a cheesy slasher that feels reminiscent of a ’90s horror movie, add this one to your watchlist.
>"This to me gave me the absolute creeps. Gore 10/10. Language 10/10. This remake is very different than the original however as scared as I was while watching, the characters are very stereotypical and basic. Still, 10/10 recommend a watch.” -[@colby_l](https://likewisetv.com/profile/colby_l)
- **[_A Christmas Switch_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/a-christmas-switch-559337):** When struggling singer Audrey and wealthy record executive Julia collide at the mall, they wake up in each other’s lives the next morning. As Christmas looms closer, the two women rush to figure out how to both help each other and switch back before they miss Christmas morning with their own families! The body-swap storyline is nothing new ([_Freaky Friday_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/freaky-friday-10330), [_17 Again_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/17-again-16996), [_13 Going on 30_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/13-going-on-30-10096)), but when done right, it’s a premise audiences adore. 

# Free Christmas Movies on Peacock:
- **[_Christmas Time_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/christmas-time-493282):** Tired of the traditional Christmas movie plotline? Look no further than this quirky comedy featuring [James “Murr” Murray](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2098978/?ref_=fn_al_nm_3) from [_Impractical Jokers_](https://likewisetv.com/items/shows/impractical-jokers-59186). In this lighthearted story, two estranged brothers try to reconnect at Christmas but there's something that one of them can't get past: the other thinks he's a time traveler.
- **[_Fatman_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/fatman-602211):** With the recent release of the action-packed Christmas blockbuster [_Violent Night_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/violent-night-899112), I would be remiss to not mention this black comedy. _Fatman_ is a twisted retelling of the classic Santa Claus story that can be a bit slow at times but builds to a well-earned, violent climax.
>“Much different take on the classic Santa story. Not a kids movie!” -[@rick_welch](https://likewisetv.com/profile/rick_welch)
- **[_The Most Wonderful Time of the Year_](https://likewisetv.com/items/movies/the-most-wonderful-time-of-the-year-35830):** [Henry Winkler](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001857/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1) starring in a Hallmark movie is something you didn’t know you needed, but you do. Thanks to great performances from the entire cast, this film is believed by many to be the greatest Hallmark Christmas movie ever made.
>“One of my absolute favorites. We watch it every Christmas Eve!” -[@melanies_muses](https://likewisetv.com/profile/melanies_muses)

Movies and Shows That Will Change Your Life for the Better

Thanksgiving is only a couple of weeks away which means it’s time to start getting into the holiday spirit with a proper TV and movie marathon. However, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins visiting for Thanksgiving add a new layer of complexity when trying to figure out what to watch during the holidays. Many of us feel overwhelmed by the wealth of choices as is, and trying to find something that the entire family will enjoy is no easy task. Some of the questions you might be asking yourself are:

- **What should we watch with the whole family during our post-Thanksgiving dinner food coma?**
- **What movies are coming out Thanksgiving weekend? (In theaters and streaming)**
