The holidays are full of family oriented Christmas films and TV shows. Those of us looking for something raunchier this holiday season, South Park currently has 10 holiday episodes. Here are the holiday episodes ranked from worst to best.

When watched just for the holidays, this episode feels out of place. Many established story lines throughout the season crescendo during this episode. Instead of the holidays being relevant, the plot revolves around consumerism, a bike parade, and Jeff Bezos.

9) #HappyHolograms – Season Eighteen (2014)

This episode also is affected by multiple story lines needing further explanation to have the jokes fully make sense. It has a wholesome message about saving the living room and is riddled with celebrity appearances, but not as memorable as a holiday episode.

8) Christmas Snow – Season Twenty-Three (2019)

With everyone desperate for a buzz, Randy and Towlie start delivering marijuana to South Park from ‘Tegridy Farms.’ Randy keeps coming up with various hilarious loopholes and an overall analogue for legalizing drugs.

This is a musical compilation episode consisting of eleven original songs and parody versions of holiday favorites. Enjoy the musical genius of Trey Parker and Matt Stone over a decade before they created the Broadway hit The Book of Mormon.

A classic South Park episode with Cartman’s extended family, a fake mall Mr. Hankey, and criminal Charles Manson join the boys on this Christmas adventure. A fun look at the earlier comedy style of South Park.

The boys create an animated Christmas short to raise the town’s Christmas spirit. This short is a direct reference to the two original South Park Christmas shorts, “The Spirit of Christmas” and “Jesus vs Frosty.” The episode introduces us to Mr. Hankey’s family, a comedic commentary about commercialism and a glimpse into the making of the origins of South Park.

3) Red Sleigh Down – Season Six (2002)

Santa, Jesus, Mr. Hankey and the boys visit Iraq to spread holiday cheer and things do not go according to plan. A rendition of ’12 Days of Christmas’ sung by Jimmy, a bunch of great cameos, and the return of Kenny makes this a special holiday episode.

2) Woodland Critter Christmas – Season Eight (2004)

A storybook-esque episode told with a narrator about Stan helping a group of woodland critters. I won’t say much to avoid spoiling the story, but there are quite a few twists in this hilarious holiday episode. One of the funniest episodes of the series.

1) Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo – Season One (1997)

This episode introduces us to Mr. Hankey, a talking piece of poo that has been a South Park icon ever since. This episode also has a great message about being proud of who you are. Considering how raunchy South Park is, it is a glimpse into a softer side of what this who can be. Let’s all take a lesson from Mr. Hankey this holiday season and say, “Ah heck with it. Let’s sing and dance and bake cookies.”
