Happy holidays, my fellow sitcom lovers. Tomorrow is Christmas Day, of course, which means it’s almost time for the four-episode, primetime ‘Til Death marathon on Fox.

Since the episodes are all leftovers from the comedy’s second and third seasons, viewers will be spending time with the likes of J.B. Smoove’s Kenny instead of beloved Jeff and Steph Woodcock from the freshman season and the Starks’ daughter and son-in-law Ally and Doug from the current fourth season.

Preview the lineup below in a few photos, and for spoilers, check out the previous post “Fox Schedules ‘Til Death’ Christmas Day Marathon.”

If you’ve been wondering whatever happened to the elusive Fox sitcom ‘Til Death, which is currently in its fourth season, wonder no more. After yet another prolonged absence, this one lasting just over two months, the comedy will return on Christmas Day for a two-hour, four-episode marathon.

According to Fox’s current schedule, the “Christmas present” will feature four brand-new episodes originally from the show’s second and third seasons: “No Complaints” at 8pm ET, “The Courtship of Eddie’s Parents” at 8:30pm, “The Ex-Factor” at 9pm, and “The Buffer” at 9:30pm.

Continue reading for some spoilers for each episode.

No Complaints: During this Christmas-themed episode from the third season, Eddie learns that hiding his feelings makes him physically sick when he and Joy try to quit lying for good. Kenny (J.B. Smoove) is back, too, and he creates all kinds of problems for the kiddies’ parents when he lands a a gig at the mall portraying Santa Claus.

The Courtship of Eddie’s Parents: Mary Tyler Moore veteran Valerie Harper and Rescue Me cast member Jerry Adler guest star as Eddie’s parents Barbara and Al in this unaired episode from the Season Two lineup. Eddie and Joy journey all the way to Florida to visit them and are shocked to learn they’re getting divorced … so that they can acquire medical insurance. Of course, Eddie is against it, and he tries to persuade his mom not to follow through.

The Ex-Factor: Kenny is back for another third-season episode, which features Joy befriending a former girlfriend of Eddie, something that predictably leads to problems. Also, Kenny must cope with the possibility that his own new girlfriend is taking advantage of him when he babysits her children.

The Buffer: In yet another Season Three episode, Kenny moves in with the Starks after his ex-wife kicks him to the curb, and to Eddie’s great surprise, he realizes that Joy is nicer when Kenny is in the house. So, of course, Eddie tries to get Kenny to stay longer, but Joy actually has issues with his bad habits and does her best to reunite him with his ex.
