Over the course of the show's 7 season run, the hit NBC series The West Wing became known for having great holiday episodes. While they all are great episodes, it's the show's first one that stands out above the rest. Season 1, Episode 10 "In Excelsis Deo" helped set the stage for all the holiday episodes that came after, using the festivities as a backdrop to the more somber themes that the holiday season brings. Even with the heavier storylines, however, creator Aaron Sorkin always managed to find a glimmer of hope, reminding audiences of the true meaning of Christmas.
