Well you can pretend the eps with snow in it during the other shows are Christmas episodes. The Leonardo ep during Season 3 of the OT had all snow on the ground, as well as the Season 2 finale of Nick when Leonardo is defeated by Shredder.

What a great episode to celebrate the holiday, Leonardo gets bruised by the Shredder into critical condition while all of the people of New York get turned into freaky aliens.

Well it brought the family together in "holiday spirit."

Just because an episode has snow doesn't mean its Christmas themed.

There are countries where its hot in December.

As someone who lives in New York, where the Turtles are, snow = winter.

But it musn't be just around Christmas. Also, we didn't see much natural snow in the original series, except in Austria ("A Real Snow Job"). Most scenes take place during summer, with green trees, and we see snow when Krang messes everything up.

always thought it was too bad that 2K3 was the only legit christmas episode.

Halloween seems to be consistently included.

(Channel Six Halloween Party, Hallow's Eve, and the new Monster arc)

Easter... Hokum Hare

I like me some holiday specials.

A Real Snow Job could have been a good Christmas episode (hopefully better written).

Or maybe something else (episode that never were) during the European Vacation?

It's weird how many shorts they made for the show too:

1. Season 1 had character bios with all new animation. They were on the Season 1 DVDs.

2. Season 2 had a second wave of shorts. They weren't on the DVDs so they're hard to find. You have to scour youtube.

3. Season 4 had the last wave of traditional shorts, they were interesting to watch and longer than the others based on Season 4's arcs.

4. There's the "Mayhem from Monster Island" shorts made during Back to the Sewer which when added together make up a 14th episode of the last season, but it's dubious whether it's canon or not.

5. Finally there's the Peach Nova shorts, made with flash animation but it has all the 2k3 voice actors and they were comedy based.

I wish all these shorts were easy to find or archived, this is why a DVD set would've been awesome since they might've been included.

The OT also has the Turtle Tip shorts which have never been archived and are difficult to find or know how many they made.

One thing that sucks with the 4 Kids series is when the screen just stops, and "1-2-3-4: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" begins to play. I don't recall if it was on TV, or just DVD.

Those animated story segments for the PS2/GCN/Xbox game series had a very distinct, almost anime-like look to them, as I recall.

That story was so awful that I'd like to think that it isn't canon.

Only saw one of those as a kid which was shown after the ep The Legend of Koji in Ireland. It was about reusing paper bags.
