"The Christmas Spirit" is the two-part Christmas episode of the CBS sitcom Ghosts, based on the 2019 BBC sitcom of the same name.
Synopsis[]
Part 1[]
When Jay's sister Bela and her friend Eric visit the manor on Christmas Eve, Sam is inspired by her love of made-for-TV Christmas movies to bring them together romantically. Trevor, previously Bela's "boyfriend", hatches a plan to possess Eric so he can be intimate with her for one night, and Bela agrees to his text invitation. After learning from Jay about how he was possessed by Hetty, Bela convinces Eric, who is genuinely interested in her, to go forward with the plan as well. That night, Jay catches Bela and Eric attempting to recreate the circumstances that led to Jay's possession and orders them to stop. Meanwhile, Isaac attempts to kiss Nigel for the first time under some mistletoe, but his nerves cause Nigel to leave for the shed. On Christmas morning, Sam converses with Thorfinn, who despises Christmas for appropriating elements from Norse traditions, as she attempts to fix the sconce that caused Hetty's possession, gets shocked, and falls onto Thor, making him possess her.
Part 2[]
A heartbroken Eric leaves for the nearby train station, so Jay sets out to bring him back. At the station, they eventually agree to allow Trevor to possess Eric. While everyone waits for Jay's return, Thor, now in full control of Sam's body, opens his Christmas present: a decorative Viking ship model in a bottle, and he has a change of heart about the holiday. Jay returns with Eric, who attempts to shock himself on the sconce but fatally electrocutes himself and becomes a ghost. Thor revives Eric using his powers as a defibrillator, exposing himself as Sam's possessor, so Jay drives Sam over the ghost barrier, freeing the Viking. The livings and ghosts celebrate Christmas in full the next day. Elsewhere, Isaac has a nightmare about his wife, Beatrice, calling him a "big gay liar". In telling this to his friends, he shows a cricket Beatrice embroidered for him, making Sassapis remember how Beatrice visited Isaac on his deathbed. Realizing his wife wanted him to be happy, Isaac gains the confidence to kiss Nigel. After the Christmas celebrations, Trevor and Hetty secretly start their own relationship.
