Brenda's got her red coat on. Why? Because it's the holiday season, and she could possibly be Mrs. Claus. (alright, maybe not. But still!)

In the two-part sixth-season episode "Living Proof," Brenda and her team investigate a hit-and-run outside a shopping mall two days before Christmas. As others grumble, canceling their holiday travel plans to grind out the case, Brenda has her own twist to deal with: Her parents show up and announce they're moving to Los Angeles to be near Brenda. It's a family reunion and a dramatic case involving an innocent refugee - which certainly sounds like Christmas on The Closer.

It wasn't the only holiday episode, though. For its final season, The Closer pulled out all the stops for its last Christmas episode. "You Have the Right to Remain Jolly" features special guest star Fred Willard as "Santa Jack," a dubious Jolly Old Elf cut from the same cloth as Billy Bob Thornton's Bad Santa. It's up to Brenda to deduce just how twisted Willard's quirky Santa really is in the episode. At the same time, Brenda runs into her own unexpected trouble with the law. Sounds like a Blue Christmas, but you'll have to tune in to find out if it all has a merry little ending.
