Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Season 3, "Amends")

Not your typical holiday fare, but this touching episode highlights the tormented relationship of Buffy and Angel while bringing in the haunting ghostly themes from stories like A Christmas Carol. As the holidays approach and Buffy and her pals plan what they are going to do to celebrate, Angel is being plagued by nightmares and visions of Jenny Calendar (or a possessed version of her), whom he killed the previous year. Convinced that he will never be able to escape his demon side and that he'll always be a danger to those he now cares about, the vampire with a soul heads to a mountain to commit suicide (of sorts) by sunlight. Buffy vainly tries to convince him that he is worthy of staying alive, but he refuses to budge as daybreak nears. But due to some kind of miracle, it begins to snow for the first time ever in Sunnydale, providing a sun-free Christmas and extending Angel's existence on earth.
