‘Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage’ Season 1 Will Be Missing This Sitcom Staple

The Big Bang Theory featured a handful of Christmas specials when the show aired on television. And by the time Young Sheldon came along, it seemed the holiday specials had stopped. Fortunately, Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage brought back the holiday special tradition with its Thanksgiving episode, but will season 1 have a Christmas special?

Showrunner Steve Holland told TV Line that one big holiday episode was enough and believes that including a Christmas special weeks after the Thanksgiving one is too soon. His creative strategy to entertain people is to have one episode that excites people, and episode 5 just did the job.

“You know, we figured one big holiday was enough. The trick of it, when you do these big holiday episodes, is that it’s exciting because you can bring in everybody, but it just felt like [to bring in everybody] two weeks after Thanksgiving was going to be too soon.”

Georgie & Mandy’s Thanksgiving special featured the return of many of the main cast of Young Sheldon, more specifically, the Cooper family, which includes Zoe Perry, Raegan Revord, Annie Potts, and Craig T. Nelson. While Iain Armitage‘s Sheldon wasn’t included in the episode, the show featured a wholesome scene where the Cooper family visits George Sr’s grave for the first time together.
