List of episodes
"A Very Supernatural Christmas" is the eighth episode of the paranormal drama television series Supernatural's third season. It was first broadcast on The CW on December 13, 2007. The narrative follows series protagonists Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) as they confront a pair of pagan gods (Spencer Garrett and Merrilyn Gann) who annually take human sacrifices.
Written by Jeremy Carver and directed by J. Miller Tobin, the episode was intended to be "the most violent Christmas special in the history of television". Flashbacks were added to the plot when the main storyline came up short, allowing the writers to expand upon the childhoods of a young Sam (Colin Ford) and Dean (Ridge Canipe).
While critics universally praised the flashback sequences and the performances of Ford and Canipe, they had differing opinions of the main storyline.
