Lois wants the perfect Christmas, and she is going to get it if it kills everyone in Quahog. One by one the plans fall apart, the Griffins do what the Griffins do, and the most patient mum on American telly finally snaps in spectacular style. It is one of Family Guy's earliest Christmas outings, from back when the show was still finding its feet, and it is as cheeky and silly as you would hope. Strictly for the grown-ups, mind: nothing here is Nan-approved. Put it on once the little ones are in bed and the Baileys has been opened.
