Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire
Jean’s idea (via Geek Tyrant) is to return to that moment, and bring the show full circle:
“I thought the final episode could end with them going to the Christmas pageant they went to in the first episode, so the whole series is one loop without a beginning or an end. But now that I’ve said it, it won’t happen. Thank you.”
I love this idea, and I want it to happen. Immediately. Of course, Jean says that now that he’s let the cat out of the bag, it’s unlikely to happen after all. But we can dream. The Simpsons season 30 will kick off on September 30, 2018. Guest stars this season will include Gal Gadot, Patti Lupone, Emily Deschanel, Jon Lovitz, Guillermo del Toro and more.
‘The Simpsons’ Showrunner Has A Great Idea For A Series Finale, Should The Series Ever Actually End

That said, if the show were to finally end, showrunner Al Jean has a brilliant idea for a series finale. As you may or may not recall (it’s been so long), the very first episode of The Simpsons, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire”, aka “The Simpsons Christmas Special”, began with the now-famous family shuffling into a Christmas pageant. Here’s the scene in question.
