Holiday specials are by now a staple of the season. Even Rick and Morty made sure they worked a holiday reference into their third episode. The beauty of streaming services like Netflix and Hulu, though, is that they allow us the freedom to make our own schedules when it comes to actually sitting down and watching these things.
