Mulder and Scully investigate strange goings on at a Ghostly House on Christmas Eve.
I can see this becoming part of my Christmas routine, I can see myself wrapping presents, having a glass of wine, with this Christmas cracker on the telly.
It's gloriously fun, it's wonderfully atmospheric, it's fair to say it really is one of the most bizarre episodes ever made, but I feel like they captured something quite wonderful here, they got the tone spot on.
Great acting, Anderson and Duchovny truly shine from start to finish, the format allows a deep, and lighter exploration of their respective characters, Scully finally getting to hear that she seems to function only to prove Mulder wrong.
When this was conceived, I can't help but wonder if Chris Carter hadn't watched an episode or two of the wonderful M. R. James series, A Ghost story for Christmas.
It's slightly more Halloween than Christmas, but it's wonderful, a real treat, 9/10.
