As the holidays approach, it’s easy to get swept into our normal “Christmas movie routines” where we rewatch Home Alone, Elf, The Grinch, and all the other usual suspects. This year, maybe take your pick of some of the best Christmas-themed episodes of your favorite genre shows to celebrate your holiday cheer! From aliens, demons, and ghosts to superheroes, spies, and Santa Claus himself, there’s a little something here for everyone, and according to Collider, The X-Files fits perfectly.

The X-Files - “How the Ghosts Stole Christmas” (Season 6, Episode 6)

On Christmas Eve, Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) decide to investigate a house in Maryland that is haunted by the ghosts of two lovers. These ghosts, played by Ed Asner and Lily Tomlin, have spent the past century tempting lovers to their deaths, and Mulder and Scully are no exception. As the specters manipulate the pair into trying to kill one another, their bond can break any ghostly illusion. These ghosts may try to steal Christmas from our favorite FBI agents, but Mulder and Scully prove stronger still.
