While Santa Claus has a knack for delivering presents to children, he’s way too busy with reindeer training and magic sleigh maintenance to keep track of the gifts that entertainment and pop culture have bestowed over the course of 2022.

So I’m assuming temporary elf duties to sort through the year in TV, streaming, movies, celebrity news, memes and more. It’s a list that runs the gamut from “Elvis” to “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and “Abbott Elementary” to “Andor”  –  and covers a geographical range stretching from Detroit’s Giant Slide to a certain White Lotus luxury resort in Sicily.

These are moments that gave many of us all the feels for the past 12 months and, ultimately, made the case that things would be “OK, all right, it’s about damn time,” as Lizzo sang in her empowering dance hit.

As for the worst, I’ll pass for now on reliving the infamous Oscar slap, the “Don’t Worry, Darling” Spitgate,Ticketmaster’s Taylor Swift tour meltdown or, on a much more serious level, the hate-filled rants of the artist who goes by Ye. That, stressed-out readers, is my special gift to you.

May your 2023 be as confident and liberating as that Wednesday Addams dance from Netflix’s “Wednesday.”
