The Christmas season is here and that means one major thing for TV devotees: re-watching all of your favorite festive sitcom episodes! In celebration of the season and the tradition of TV comedies getting all holly jolly for one episode a year, Decider presents our very first Sitcom Advent Calendar. Every day leading up to Christmas, Decider’s resident sitcom elf Brett White will share one holiday-themed sitcom episode for you to stream to make your days merry and bright.
Decider’s Sitcom Advent Calendar Day 4
Black-ish, “Black Santa/White Christmas”
Season 1, Episode 10
Original Airdate: December 10, 2014
Written By: Gail Lerner
Directed By: Elliot Hegarty
Getting to play Santa is a big deal, especially if you’re not a white guy. That’s why Dre jumps at the chance to don the red and white suit when his company’s regular Santa keels over (never mind that his co-workers are, you know, still in mourning). But Dre’s Christmas wish is placed in jeopardy when his boss decides to get real progressive with his pick for Santa’s successor!

Christmas Trope Count: 6 (All About Christmas, Santa’s In The Cast, Last Minute Shopping, Christmas Party, Santa Believers, Carols)
Pretty much every Christmas sitcom episode features a carol or two, but this one kicks it up a notch with an auto-tuned remix of “Carol of the Bells.” Who knew that a 100 year old carol could sound so fresh?!
