old news for some of us, but i thought it worth reposting.

"Key episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer--including the critically acclaimed "The Body" and the Emmy-nominated "Hush"--have been withheld from syndication to give UPN a chance to air them first, the Zap2it Web site reported. UPN worked with Buffy executive producers Joss Whedon and Marti Noxon on picking which episodes to air during the show's brief three-week hiatus in December. "Hush" will air Dec. 11 at 8 p.m., followed by "The Body" on Dec. 18 and "Buffy vs. Dracula" on Dec. 25. New episodes will continue airing on New Year's Day."

"Buffy vs. Dracula" is most definitely a Christmas episode. more old news that is definitely worth reposting (because i'm getting hits from people looking for this info).
