A mostly American subgenre—special television shows, often one-shots, created with a winter or holiday theme for broadcast during the month of December. Many prominently feature [[Santa Claus]] and his associated mythology, as they try to preserve political correctness. Some try to elucidate to us on the [[True Meaning of Christmas]].
