While the Friends episodes are all hilarious and assure a good laugh, Friends Thanksgiving episodes are the most memorable. While almost every season had a Thanksgiving episode, season 2 is the only one that doesn't have an episode dedicated to the occasion. Some of the most talked-about Thanksgiving scenes include the one where Monica puts a turkey on her head, the one where the group plays football in order to win the Geller cup and the Thanksgiving episode that shows the characters' flashback. Friends Christmas episodes are equally fun to watch whether it be the one with Chandler dressing up as Santa Claus, Ross as the Holiday Armadillo and Joey as Superman or the one with the famous Geller dance routine, the episodes have all become iconic.
