The Big Bang Theory Christmas episodes

American, CBS, first shown 2007

About the show

The CBS sitcom from Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady about two physicists at the California Institute of Technology who share a flat, their equally awkward friends, and the aspiring actress who moves in across the hall. It ran for twelve seasons, from September 2007 to May 2019, and became a huge hit. Nearly every December brought a Christmas episode, and they follow the show's growth from a gift-giving panic in the second season, to a festive game of Dungeons and Dragons, an It's a Wonderful Life tribute and a Victorian Christmas Eve dinner. In the UK all twelve seasons stream on NOW with its Entertainment and HBO Max membership.
