While Christmas (Christmas movies) episodes are typically expected to be fun and lighthearted, viewers of "The Bear" quickly discover that, despite moments of humour, it deviates from the usual festive tone.

However, as the festivities unfold, tensions begin to rise, and the matriarch, Donna, played by the scene-stealing Jamie Lee Curtis, finds herself unravelling. In a portrayal that might hit close to home for many, it stands out as one of the most accurate depictions of family gatherings during the holidays, albeit with a touch more drama.
