Misery and whine: 9 of the saddest and un-Christmassy Christmas specials ever made
Think this is a time for goodwill to all men? Not in these bleak-as-they-come festive TV episodes
2. Black Mirror, White Christmas (2014)
Black Mirror is never a bundle of joy, and the Christmas special from 2014 is no different. The episode opens with Jon Hamm and Rafe Spall sitting on Christmas Day in the bleakest of bleak outposts, surrounded by snow with a sad piece of tinsel and a potato. As the two men discuss what happened in their lives to land them there, the story that unfolds features accidents, murder, betrayal and unabated misery. Happy Christmas!
