The shows will also air at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT on MyRetroTV.com and on the Roku app. "The Doctors" will return to its normal schedule on Monday, Dec. 28.

This classic series was known for its cutting-edge storylines and compelling characters who often dealt with life-and-death decisions amid interpersonal dramas during the show's 19-year run. Each holiday episode features James Pritchett as Doctor Matt Powers, breaking the fourth wall and acknowledging the audience and series sponsors.

Set in the fictional New England city of Madison, "The Doctors" received 17 Emmy Award nominations.
