Please tell Joey Christmas will be snowyeeeeyeyeeaaaayyy.

As far as TV holiday episodes go, "Friends" may be best known for its Thanksgiving Buffay buffet, but the series wasn't slack when it came to the more wintry festivities, either.

In fact, we can totally thank our sextet of Central Perk couch-dwellers for a bunch of holiday traditions that'll be there for you (????) this and every season.

The Holiday Armadillo.
