20 fictional families everyone would want to spend the holidays with

Kendra Beltran

The holidays with one’s family can be a bit daunting, and hey, no one can blame anyone for daydreaming about what it’d be like to spend those special times of the year in another household altogether. Even better if it were the home of a family that people already knew and loved. So let’s talk about those fictional families that everyone would want to spend the holidays with, from exchanging gifts to diving into a food coma.

The Banks’

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air

It would be really awesome to do the Carlton dance alongside the one and only, but there’s also the fact that celebrating in a big ol’ mansion in one of the fanciest neighborhoods would not be too shabby.

Clarissa Explains It All

The Darlings don’t mind people dropping in on a regular day or even the holidays, whether it’s through Clarissa’s bedroom window or the front door.

The Simpsons

Yes, the Simpsons can be a bit much, and there is a chance that Homer will lose his cool, but doesn’t that make the invite to Springfield for the holidays that much more tempting?

Bob's Burgers

The Johnsons

Black-ish

The best thing about the Johnsons is that their company not only always has a great time, but there’s also some sort of lesson to be learned about the world.

The Addams Family

Anyone who says they wouldn't take the chance to spend any amount of time with the Addams family is lying.

The Sinclairs

The Cranes

Frasier

Frasier and Niles would try and put together a holiday party with all the bells and whistles, and while it wouldn’t pan out, given their history, it’d be worth it just to spend some time in the Elliot Bay Towers.

The Bravermans

Parenthood

It’s going to be a great time, but just make sure you’re first in line when it comes to the food portion of the holidays because the Bravermans are a large bunch!

Chrismukkah with the Cohens is a tradition many would love to be a part of!

The Pritchetts/Dunphys

Modern Family

The family that so many people have dreamed of being a part of since the show debuted in 2009 — and for good reason — because, while the antics can sometimes get out of hand, the love this crew has for one another never fails to warm hearts.
