"Christmas Cheers" is the 12th episode of the sixth season of ''Series/{{Cheers}}''.
Guess what? It's the ChristmasEpisode! Namely, it's Christmas Eve at the bar. Sam and Carla are annoyed that Rebecca is making them work on Christmas Eve, but when Sam finds out that Rebecca got presents for her employees, he goes on a frantic quest to find a store that's still open. Meanwhile, Cliff is determined to win the Post Office's canned food drive so he can get the prize (a free trip to Disneyworld), underemployed Norm has been working as Santa at a department store, and for some reason Frasier is in full "bah, humbug" mode, pouring scorn on the Christmas holiday.

* ChristmasEpisode: The Cheers gang, enjoying Christmas Eve at the bar.
* ContinuityNod: A mention of Walt Twitchell, Cliff's archenemy at the Post Office. Walt wins the trip to Disneyworld, by one can.
* DecidedByOneVote: Cliff loses the trip to Disneyworld by one can, because Woody forgot to put two cans in Cliff's box.
* FeetFirstIntroduction: Sam is slumped in despair in front of a closed store window, when a pair of boots appear and a woman's voice asks if he needs help. For a second Sam thinks it's an angel, but no, the boots belong to a very good-looking stewardess (Jayne Modean).
* TheGrinch: Frasier is in a sour mood and makes sarcastic comments about the cheese and commercialism of the Christmas holiday. Then with his YesVirginia moment, his holiday spirit is restored.
* SantaClaus: Perpetually unemployed Norm gets some seasonal work as a Santa. It leads to a YesVirginia moment for Frasier.
