The characters star in various roles from Mary (Lois), Joseph (Peter) and the Three Wise Men (Cleveland, Quagmire and Joe), with Stewie standing in for baby Jesus.
What would Christmas be without the Nativity play? Well, Family Guy decided to do their own take on the tale. While it's a pretty predictable affair given how often A Christmas Carol has been adapted for both the big and small screen, it's still a fun episode and features a hilarious dance between Peter and Swayze. Rather than being met with the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future, Peter is visited by the spirit of the late Patrick Swayze. In a twist on the Charles Dickins classic A Christmas Carol, Peter (MacFarlane) goes on a journey to find his festive spirit again after being left at home by Lois (Alex Borstein) and the kids. Don't Be A Dickins At Christmas, Season 16 It sees Lois lose her festive spirit when a number of things go wrong in the Griffin household over Christmas, including Peter giving away all the family's presents to charity instead of just one and the house getting destroyed in a turkey-related fire.Īfter the many mishaps, Lois goes on a rampage that sees her insult Jack Frost and try to destroy the town's Christmas tree, only for Stewie to appeal to her better nature and convince her otherwise. The first Family Guy Christmas special is also one of the funniest that the show has ever had. A Very Special Family Guy Freakin' Christmas, Season 3 While the episode was about trying to save Brian, Stewie also had some tender moments with Vinny, the dog that the Griffin family adopted following Brian's death. Stewie, missing his best friend, decided to travel back in time in order to stop Brian from dying in a car crash. While the world mourned the animated dog in Season 12, it turned out he was only gone for a short amount of time as he was saved in "Christmas Guy". One of the most shocking things to happen on Family Guy in recent years was the sudden death of Brian. "Road To The North Pole" is not only funny it's also thought-provoking, in ways that one wouldn't necessarily expect of an adult animation.
However, when they arrive the pair learn of the horrible conditions that Santa and his elves are under because of the world's greed.įamily Guy have had some great musical numbers over the seasons, but the first episode's "Christmas Time Is Killing Us" is one of the best. "Road To The North Pole" is a two-part special that follows the Griffin duo on a journey to Santa's Grotto, where Stewie plans to kill Santa Claus. Stewie and Brian's (Seth MacFarlane) adventures are always the most appealing in the Family Guy repetoir, and this is also true of the Christmas specials.
