Stan Smith is fed up with how soft Christmas has gone, and a visit from the ghosts of Christmas sends him back through time on a mission to put things right. Naturally, being Stan, he makes everything much, much worse. It is A Christmas Carol with an American Dad twist: loud, silly and satirical, and about as far from a gentle family special as telly gets, so keep it for after the kids have gone up. One for grown-ups who like their Dickens with a proper twist and their tinsel slightly singed, ideally with the Quality Street tin within easy reach.
