5 Outlander episodes to watch Christmas Eve 2021
There aren’t many Outlander episodes with a Christmas theme, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to watch. Here are 5 to rewatch on Christmas Eve 2021.
Something you’ll notice is that Outlander doesn’t really do Christmas episodes. This isn’t surprising when you considered that Christmas would have just been a religious celebration for Jamie and the other people of his time.
While there aren’t many episodes with a Christmasy theme, there are still some great episodes to watch while you’re wrapping the last presents and waiting for the kids to sleep so you can put them under the tree.
5 must-watch Outlander episodes this Christmas Eve
I’ve picked one episode from each season of the show. I’ve tried to focus on the theme of the night, but that’s not always easy with a show like Outlander!
Outlander Season 1, Episode 2
I’m sure there are a few other Season 1 episodes that stand out for you, but Episode 2 offers a small feeling of warmth and comfort. I’m thinking of when Claire and Jamie are in front of the fire after they get back to Leoch. We see her treating Jamie’s arm, but also get a chance to see Jamie offer her comfort in her time of need.
Up to this point, Claire has had to just accept what she’s not sure has happened and go into survival mode. This is the moment she’s able to release the tension held, just hoping that Jamie won’t hurt her or just leave her alone.
Outlander Season 2, Episode 1
I really enjoy the Outlander Season 2 premiere, and it’s certainly one to watch on Christmas Eve 2021. We see Claire get back to her own time, but it’s clear that she doesn’t want to be here. She has to figure out how to accept her life now, and wonders whether Frank is even going to be there for her.
The second half of the episode is back in the 18th century. We see Claire and Jamie start their lives in Paris.
Outlander Season 3, Episode 5
This is the only episode with Christmas in the episode. Claire, Brianna, and Roger are in Boston for the holiday season. After initially thinking she’d come to a dead-end in the search for Jamie, Roger finds something else and pieces it all together. He brings that news with the pretense of experiencing an American Christmas.
We see Christmas trees and gift-giving before Claire heads off to Scotland to go through the stones. This is certainly an episode to help you get in the mood for Christmas.
Outlander Season 4, Episode 12
The penultimate episode of Outlander Season 4 has some heartbreaking moments. It really is one of my favorite episodes, though. We see a lot of character development for Roger, as he tries to be selfish but finds that it just isn’t in his nature to do that.
At the same time, we see Brianna figure out a way to survive. She needs to choose a husband, but who will that be?
Outlander Season 5, Episode 11
Finally, it’s the penultimate episode of the most recent season. I know that a lot of book fans view this as a waste of time, but it’s a great episode for those who want to see the family together. We get a chance to see multiple members of the family connect as they get ready to say what they think is going to be a permanent goodbye to Bree, Roger, and Jemmy.
Christmas is a time to spend with family. Of course this episode is going to be up there when it has the focus of family.
