‘The O.C.’ Season 1, Episode 13 “The Best Chrismukkah Ever”

What to Watch

December 7, 2025

‘Tis the season to start rewatching your favorite holiday episodes, and no December lineup is complete without celebrating Seth Cohen’s glorious Chrismukkah. In other words, “California, here we come!” Grab your DVD box set of The O.C. Season 1 (or fire up a streaming service if you’re not old school like me) and let the iconic 2000s drama starring Mischa Barton, Ben McKenzie, Rachel Bilson, and Adam Brody warm your heart and jumpstart your holiday spirit. Who needs Dasher, Dancer, the rest of the reindeer, and Santa Claus when you have Yamaclauses, Death Cab references, Marissa Cooper shoplifting, and Summer Roberts dressed as Wonder Woman? “The Best Chrismukkah Ever” delivers drama, romance, holiday cheer, and unfortunately the introduction of Oliver Trask. (IYKYK.) But hey, no holiday is perfect! Right? And The O.C. always reminds us that’s OK!
