Parks and Recreation: Christmas

December 8, 2018

"Christmas Scandal" Season 2, Episode 12

The first of the Parks and Rec holiday episodes isn't all that Christmas-y. I mean it's set during the holidays and there are some backdrops that are themed, but it's much more plot focused than holiday focused. Leslie is at the center of a scandal when it is erroneously reported that she is having an affair with a city councilman, who is known for his promiscuity. Due to his standing in the community, people do not believe her when she denies the rumors so she comes up with a plan to prove her innocence. Meanwhile, April tries to sneakily find out what Andy wants for Christmas, as she has a crush on him. Leslie also has to make a big decision about her relationship with Dave. This episode is mildly Christmas appropriate. If you're a fan of the show, I would throw it on your holiday watchlist. If you aren't, there's probably better episodes you could watch.
