Happy holidays from Seattle!  Join Frasier (Kelsey Grammer), Niles (David Hyde Pierce), Martin (John Mahoney), Daphne (Jane Leeves), Roz (Peri Gilpin) and the rest of Frasier gang as they unwrap a yuletide collection of predicaments and misadventures guaranteed to put the "fun" in "dysfunctional."

Make your yule time the merriest and enjoy eight fun-filled classic holiday episodes from the hilarious, award-winning sitcom! The episodes include:

S1-E12 Miracle on 3rd or 4th Street (12/16/93) - Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) agrees to cover for KACL's "gonzo" sportscaster, Bulldog (guest star Dan Butler), on Christmas Day. Frasier hopes the working holiday will take his mind off of his disappointment that his son won't be with him for the holiday. Instead he faces a long day of being "hum-bugged" by callers whose stories would depress Charles Dickens.

S3-E9 Frasier Grinch (12/19/95) - On Christmas Eve, Frasier learns that the shipment of educational toys he ordered for his son, Frederick (guest star Luke Tarsitano), has been delayed. Frasier and Niles must then go where neither man has ever gone before – a shopping mall – in search of toys to put under the tree. Meanwhile, Niles announces that his estranged wife, Maris, has cut off his funds, and Martin proves his style of decorating for the holidays is lovely and cozy.

S5-E9 Perspectives on Christmas (12/16/97) - After befriending a priest, Martin (John Mahoney) is asked to sing in the church's Christmas pageant and turns to his musically talented sons, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) and Niles (David Hyde Pierce), for some help with his solo. Also, Frasier searches for the perfect gifts for everyone; Niles finds inner strength; Daphne (Jane Leeves) is concerned about Martin's health; and Roz (Peri Gilpin) worries about breaking the news of her pregnancy to her mother.

S6-E10 Merry Christmas, Mrs. Moskowitz (12/17/98) - Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is enchanted with Faye Moskowitz (guest star Amy Brenneman, 'NYPD Blue'), an attractive woman he meets while Christmas shopping, but he courts disaster when she drops by his holiday-decorated home with her domineering mother (guest star Carole Shelley) who thinks he's a nice Jewish boy - and Frasier, Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and a grumpy Martin (John Mahoney) are suddenly three unwise men who must act appropriately.

S7-E11 The Fight Before Christmas (12/16/99) - As Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) makes extravagant plans for his Christmas party, Daphne (Jane Leeves) considers the implication of some surprising new information she learned. Meanwhile, Niles' (David Hyde Pierce) new relationship with Dr. Mel (guest star Jane Adams) appears headed south for the winter.

S8-E8 Mary Christmas (12/12/00) - A scheming Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) finally works his way into hosting the annual televised Christmas parade but he is horrified to learn that his wildly successful protege -- the brassy radio host known as Dr. Mary (guest star Kim Coles, "Living Single") -- will be his substitute co-host, prompting a battle royale for control of the microphone. That same night, Martin (John Mahoney), Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) gather 'round the tree to open just one gift each, but they can't help themselves and soon are gleefully awash in wrapping paper and opened presents.

S10-E10 We Two Kings (12/2/02) - With Christmas a few days away, Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) is deep in preparation for this year's celebration when he learns that Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and Daphne (Jane Leeves) want to host the yuletide festivities, igniting a family feud. Hoping to quash this Christmas crisis, Martin (John Mahoney) agrees to select the location for the Crane family dinner, throwing himself into the middle of the holiday struggle. Elsewhere, Roz (Peri Gilpin) volunteers as head elf in the mall Christmas booth and develops a crush on old Saint Nick - or at least the guy in the Santa suit (guest star Dean Cain, "Lois & Clark").

S11-E11 High Holidays (12/9/03) - Frederick visits Frasier in Seattle, and the family is shocked to see him going through a "Goth" phase. When the Cranes discuss rebellious teens, Martin (John Mahoney) relays how Niles (David Hyde Pierce) was always a good kid. Later, Niles decides that it is not too late for him to “rebel,” so he enlists Roz (Peri Gilpin) to get him a “Mary Jane” brownie.  Mischief happens when Roz drops off the brownie at Café Nervosa, she has a date and leaves it with Martin to Niles.  Unfortunately, a hungry Martin mistakenly eats the brownie, then quickly replaces it with one from the coffee shop.
