16: Peace On Earth
“We’re going to win this war not by fighting what we hate, but saving what we love.”
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi
Like the Christmas Truce, a Christmas episode could forego some of the regular violence of an action-oriented series. (Though consider the most prominent run of specials in recent genre TV is Doctor Who and most of them show a certain glee in their body counts.)
So a good time for a truce. A non-violent plot like a disaster rescue. The Alison Brooks example of monster hunters laying a ghost to rest instead of staking a vampire.
There are games for non-violent adventure plots like Hammerheads, as well as setting details like (hey) the Neptune Foundation in Trinity Continuum.
