Like many things during 2020, New Year's won't be the same this year; however, folks can still celebrate by tuning in to some of the best television episodes featuring the holiday. While some shows depict a light-hearted New Year's Eve, others delve into the potential sci-fi aftermath of Y2K. Either way, New Year's Eve-themed episodes always offer up a plethora of laughs and Dick Clark cameos.

Here are seven fun New Year's Eve episodes from popular TV series to celebrate with.

Futurama - "Space Pilot 3000"

Futurama - Space Pilot 3000

Futurama's pilot episode lays the groundwork for the show's trademark satirical humor that Matt Groening is known for. In "Space Pilot 3000," it's December 31, 1999, and viewers are introduced to the underachieving pizza delivery boy, Fry. While on a failed delivery call, Fry manages to fall into a cryogenic tube and awakens 1,000 years later after two alien wars. He goes on to meet a crew of misfits who help him make sense of the strange, futuristic world. He decides to join them on the Planet Express, where he discovers he'll work as a delivery guy, bringing the zany plot full circle.

"Millennium" is a "Monster-of-the-Week" episode that also provides closure to Chris Carter's underrated spin-off Millennium. Mulder and Scully team up with Millennium's protagonist Frank Black, an estranged member of the secret Millennium Group. Together, the trio must stop the Millennium Group's plan to raise an army of the undead to usher in the apocalypse at the turn of the century.

Zombies aside, the most memorable moment occurs at the episode's end. While watching the ball drop on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve, Mulder and Scully kiss for the first time. Long-awaited by shippers, the FBI agents' New Year's Eve smooch holds a spot in pop culture history, earning the title "the kiss that took six years" among X-Files fans.

That '70s Show - "That '70s Finale"

That '70s Show - Finale

"That '70s Finale" marked the end of the long-running sitcom with a New Year's Eve-themed episode, signaling the start of the 80s. Donna prepares for college, but the episode's focus remains on the holiday. The group celebrates the last year of the decade with Eric returning to the show for a final hurrah with his friends in the basement smoke circle.

The Simpsons - "Treehouse of Horror X"

The Simpsons - New Year's Eve with Dick Clark

The Simpsons chose to celebrate a little differently in 1999 with its New Year's Eve-themed episode airing on Halloween. Like many of its animated competitors, The Simpsons ushered in the turn of the century with a Y2K-inspired "Treehouse of Horror" installment complete with a Dick Clark cameo.

In the third segment, "Life's a Glitch, Then You Die," Homer causes worldwide destruction with the Y2K bug. Luckily, there is a rocketship scheduled to depart for Mars in an attempt to recolonize, but the trip is only reserved for humanity's "best and brightest." Considering Homer and Bart don't fit these criteria, the Simpson men must find another ride to the Red Planet.

The Office - "Ultimatum"

The Office - New Year's Resolution board

The Office's New Year's Eve episode offers each cast member a moment in the spotlight. Pam's glittery New Year's Resolution board is the episode's jumping-off point as the gang assists each other in setting their goals. While some of the crew wish to do practical things, like Michael Scott promising to floss and Kevin Malone wanting to eat more vegetables, others hope to accomplish more obscure resolutions. For example, Dwight wants to "meet loose women," and Ryan Howard decides to "live life like it's an art project." Although Creed Bratton's desire to do a cartwheel isn't the most sensible resolution, it's a blast to watch him try.

Amid all the chaos, Michael is waiting for news on his on-again, off-again beau Holly and her boyfriend's relationship status. Holly has given her boyfriend an ultimatum to propose by the end of the year, hence the episode's name. To prepare for either outcome, Michael creates a "happy box" and a "sad box" with appropriate goodies.

King of the Hill - "Hillennium"

King of the Hill The Guys

King of the Hill jumped on the Y2K bandwagon much like The Simpsons. The 1999 episode "Hillennium" parallels the real-life, slow-growing panic many people experienced as the year 2000 approached. In retrospect, Y2K was a non-crisis; however, "Hillennium" acts as a televised time capsule of the event.

Although Hank and Bobby start the episode as non believers, Peggy's panicking turns them into doomsday preppers, and the ever-paranoid Dale only makes matters worse. It's not long before the family runs to Mega-lo mart to stock up on supplies. Once again, this episode exemplifies King Of the Hill's talent for turning the negative into comedy, even when dealing with mass hysteria.

Friends - "The One with the Routine"

Friends - Ross and Monica dance routine

While animated shows focused on Y2K, Friends delivered a light-hearted 1999 New Year's Eve episode. "The One with the Routine" features both Christmas and New Year's for a perfect holiday treat. Joey, Monica and Ross are invited to a taping of Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. Desperate to get on camera, Monica and Ross break into a synchronized dance routine from their childhood to "Trouble With Boys." Aside from the bad dance moves, it's Ross's deadpan expression that has made the sibling's dance routine one of the most memorable scenes in the history of Friends.
