Channel4 - 100 Greatest Christmas Moments

Christmas - the season of thumping hangovers, teenage tantrums, missing instructions and tense silences around the brandy butter...

Fortunately, however, every year there's a lifesaver we can rely on, a beacon of hope to help steer us all through the mistletoe-strewn minefield that is the modern British Christmas. Thank Santa for Christmas TV!

Each year, armchair millions fill their glasses with another scoop of mulled wine, loosen their belts a notch or two and settle down to enjoy classic tinsel TV like Morecambe & Wise, Only Fools and Horses, and Christmas Countdown.

We've had soapy cliffhangers and seasonal sing-a-longs in the Queen Vic and Rover's Return, the heart-warming sound of The Snowman.

And, of course, no Christmas is complete without that ultimate feel-good movie, It's a Wonderful Life.

But which is the greatest Christmas moment of them all? That one frosted yuletide moment that remains indelibly stuck in our memories? The 100 Greatest Christmas Moments, presented by Jimmy Carr, celebrates the finest festive television ever.

You can check out the original nominees and see the final top 100 results from the season of good will...
