8 p.m. – CORNER GAS – “Merry Gasmas” – ENCORE HOLIDAY EPISODE

In the classic CORNER GAS episode “Merry Gasmas”, Lacey (Gabrielle Miller) decides to head home to Toronto for the holidays. Along the way, she crosses paths with characters played by Gavin Crawford (THE GAVIN CRAWFORD SHOW, THIS HOUR HAS 22 MINUTES), Roman Danylo (COMEDY INC.) and Dan Redican (PUPPETS WHO KILL, THE FRANTICS). Meanwhile, although Brent (Brent Butt) sticks in Dog River for the holidays, he must find a way to cope when he finds out that his mother (Janet Wright, The Perfect Storm) wants a conventional Christmas, ditching years of unconventional LeRoy family tradition.
