One of the best parts of the holidays is all the holiday specials that TV shows do. While some people may get tired of all the holiday themed episodes, I live for them. They are always some of my favorite episodes of the show, no matter how corny or dorky they are. If you, like me, get a kick out of them but don’t know how to find them, here is my list of the all-time best shows with Thanksgiving specials.
