If all you want for Christmas is to be like Carrie Bradshaw, check out the holiday episodes of Sex and the City and The Carrie Diaries.

In SATC’s The Perfect Present, Charlotte is upset that she is never going to celebrate Christmas again because she’s converting to Judaism for Harry, and Carrie gets a whole different kind of present from Berger: his “ex-file.”

Young, 80’s Carrie celebrates Christmas with a different boyfriend than her older self, but the same true love: writing. Second Time Around, The Carrie Diaries Christmas episode, follows Carrie getting her first byline at Interview Magazine (exactly what she wanted for Christmas). Back at the Bradshaw house, Carrie’s dad learns to accept Walt and even gives him his own stocking.
