* The commercial networks don't generally air [[ChristmasEpisode Christmas-themed television episodes]] because it's the summer non-ratings period, meaning that they only get to the Christmas-themed episodes of American sitcoms around May. However, they can and have been made, the season finale of ''Series/BlueHeelers'' for example, as well an early ''Series/RoundTheTwist'' episode and a few from ''Series/HomeAndAway'' (which runs all year). Music/TheWiggles and ''Series/HiFive'' have multiple Christmas episodes, and franchises like ''WesternAnimation/BlinkyBill'', ''Series/BananasInPyjamas'', and ''Jellabies'' have seen their own Christmas specials. Some of the few one-off domestic Christmas specials include ''Candy Claus'', ''Santa's Apprentice'', ''Scrooge Koala's Christmas'', ''Silent Night, Holy Night'', ''Around The World With Dot'', and ''A Very Barry Christmas''.
