** Easter 2020:
*** A marathon of the celebrity specials aired from 2:00-10:00pm on Good Friday, while ''All-Star Family Fortunes'' and ''Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?'' marathons lurk in-between.
*** A 9-hour marathon aired from 7:00am-4:00pm on Easter Saturday, while Easter Sunday had the usual 7:00am-10:00pm slot.
*** Easter Monday was similar to Good Friday, as the show aired after an ''All-Star Family Fortunes'' marathon from 1:00pm-10:00pm, with an episode of ''Pointless Celebrities'' in the middle of the marathon at 6:00pm.
** Christmas 2020:
*** Despite not being a full day's worth of episodes, this marathon just so happened to last '''LONGER''' than the Christmas 2017 and Easter 2018 marathons, as from December 21st until January 1st, the show had a 16-hour marathon everyday from 7:00am-11:00pm. The only other shows on air those days were Bullseye and Weakest Link reruns during the graveyard hours, with Wheel of Fortune reruns on the following week. Overall, this marathon (excluding the Chase episodes outside the marathon) lasted over '''192 hours'''.
** Christmas 2021:
*** The treatment was as adored as it was in 2020. The show somewhat aired all day on Christmas Eve, only being interrupted for an episode of ''Pointless'' and several other shows in the graveyard slot. The show and the Celebrity editions, as usual, aired all day from 7:00am-11:00pm as tradition would go on, and on Boxing Day, the show had a 23-hour marathon. On the Monday, the show aired at the usual time slots once again, and had random 6-hour marathons until New Year's Eve. On that day and New Year's Day, the show had a 7am-10pm marathon, and a full marathon on the Sunday that was only interrupted for a Millionaire episode.
