Our Favorite Christmas TV Episodes of All Time
Saved by the Bell, “A Home for Christmas, Part 1” – 1991
At first glance this Christmas episode of real-life high school documentary Saved by the Bell is notable for its setting: It’s a rare snapshot of life outside Bayside High and The Max, taking place almost entirely inside the mall. But, oh man, there is so much more to note in its 23 minutes: the brick-sized cell phone seen in this clip, Screech’s Tony Award-winning performance as Scrooge in the gang’s rendition of A Christmas Carol which inexplicably takes place in said mall, and then there’s the fact that lover boy Zack starts dating a girl he meets in this mall and—surprise!—she’s homeless. Get yourself to the mall, and you might be able to help those in need. Life lesson: learned! – Lauren
