Hi,

My Mrs is a big fan of Xmas (who isn't) and when the day rolls around we like to fill the TV with Xmas expisodes of our favourite shows. Is there a way to tag or group together all episodes across various shows by tagging or collecting them?

Ta.

There is nothing that really sets apart a Christmas episode from a standard episode. Some may have the word "Christmas" in the title, others won't.

The only way I can think to accomplish this is by creating a Basic Playlist.

1. Download and Install via zip the following addon... https://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=257334
   
2. Restart Kodi
   
3. Navigate to the first episode to add to the list
   
4. Call up the Context Menu and select Add to Basic Playlist
   
5. The first time you do this you will need to create the playlist by typing in the name. eg Christmas Episodes
   
6. Once done, you can quickly add the remaining episodes to the playlist via the context menu.

I use the smart playlist function to look for words in the title and plot.
It's not perfect by any means, but gives the Mrs a good selection of Christmas eps to watch
